There is nothing better than experiencing a trance set live. The DJ, the crowd, the lights, the dancing, and the atmosphere as a whole make for an unforgettable experience. However, despite trance music’s massive following and loyal fanbase, it can be tough to find venues that offer live trance music, especially here in the United States. But, as a long-time trance fan, I have spent countless hours researching various venues that host trance artists (and have been fortunate enough to have visited a handful of them). Let’s explore my findings and experiences below.
