No genre travels like trance. Its fans cross continents for a single sunrise set, and the festivals reward them with the most emotional dancefloors on Earth. Here are the trance trips worth taking in 2026 — uplifting, psy, and big-room — each with a full travel guide (flights, where to stay, budget).

Uplifting & vocal trance
- Luminosity Beach Festival — the world’s leading uplifting-trance festival, on the beach near Amsterdam (June). The one the heads fly in for.
- A State of Trance (ASOT) — Armin van Buuren’s flagship event, Utrecht.
- Dreamstate SoCal — North America’s biggest trance festival, Long Beach (November).
Big-room & arena trance
- Transmission — the jaw-dropping production at Prague’s O2 Arena, and the template every big trance show copies.
Psytrance
- Ozora Festival — a full psytrance week in the Hungarian hills, with the legendary chill-out Dome (late July).
- Goa — where psytrance and the full-moon party were born.
