The Ultimate ASOT 600 Mumbai Guide!

A State of Trance 600: The Expedition, Mumbai, is just around the corner and we’re going to help you get prepared for it!

A State of Trance started way back in 2001 on ID&T Radio (now known as Slam!FM), by Armin van Buuren. The show was built with a purpose; To show people new trance music, to promote upcoming artists and songs, and give commercial releases some airplay. All that was snugly fit into 2 hours by Armin van Buuren. The international success of the radio show gave inspiration to many DJ’s to start their own radio shows, now which can be found in abundance.

ASOT 600: The Expedition

When Armin announced ASOT 600: The Expedition, the world knew this was something big. Aimed at being one of the biggest tours, this expedition is about collecting the ASOT army and uniting millions of people as one, all under A State of Trance. From Madrid to Mumbai to

How Do I Get There?

The venue for ASOT 600 Mumbai is Turf Club, Mahalaxmi. This is the same venue where Swedish House Mafia played earlier in January.

If you’re travelling by car, just head over to the Bandra-Worli Sea-link and make your way ahead to the Mahalaxmi Racecourse. If you’re travelling by train, just hop off at Mahalaxmi station and cab your way down. If you’re walking, good luck!

We’d like to advice all our ravers that you’re bound to experience some HEAVY traffic on the way to the venue and thus we advice you to leave much earlier in order to have a smooth travel there.

Do’s & Dont’s for ASOT600MUM:

Well as you know, The Expedition in Mumbai is going to a staggering, mind-blowing 8 hours! And in 8 hours, one does seem to wear out and get fatigue. So we’re going to provide you with a list of points so that you can gain the maximum out of this experience!

Wear comfortable clothing! We’re going to ask you to tone down your fashion sense just a bit for today. You’re going to want to wear clothing that you’re most comfortable in. Clothing which is easy for you to move around in and helps you feel cool.

High-heels can stay at home! Ladies, this isn’t a club. You’re not going to be assessed on how fashionable or how much you paid for your heels. Make sure you keep your feet happy. We suggest wearing flip flops or closed-toe shoes. Anything comfortable, you’re going to be dancing 8 hours continuous, your feet will abuse you the next morning.

Stick together! We assume you’re going in a group, unless you’re a loner raver and that floats your boat. Always stay with your friends and group. There around going to over 5,000 people at the venue and getting lost is quite easily achievable. Most likely you’re not going to get a cell reception and finding your friends is definitely going to be an ‘Expedition’ for you.

Don’t accept drinks from anyone! Yeah, it’s been said a thousand times, but it’s sensible. Always buy your own drinks and never have anything that’s been offered to you. Someone may spike your drink with an illicit substance, and that may absolutely ruin this concert for you. Stay safe and drug-free!

Carry cash! If you’re not aware, Turf club is a horse-racing ground. You’re bound not to find any ATM’s around. So always be prepared and carry cash for your alcohol/food/beverages and extra for any emergencies. Make sure it’s kept in a safe place, we usually like to put it in anything that has a zipper.

Choose what crowd you want to be! You can either be the uber-fans that go way up in the front, be the followers in the middle, or be the ones that want their space to enjoy at the back. Remember, the further inside you go, the further crowd control you’re going to have to manage.

Be prepared for the worst! Understand that a lot of people are going to be there. You’re bound to be pushed, stepped on or elbowed at one point of time. But always remember what you’re here for. Keep your anger under control and make sure to have a good time.

Stay hydrated! Remember that this is a long event and your body is going to get dehydrated. Once in a while, switch your poison for a bit of a water, just so that your body can keep going on and on and on and on and on!

Exit peacefully! The concerts done and now you’re trying to get home as soon as possible. Be calm, everyone else is going to exit too, so don’t be pushy and don’t be aggressive. Walk out calmly and the rest will do so too.

Follow these basic guidelines and you’re bound to have an absolutely bangin’ time at ASOT 600: The Expedition, Mumbai. Be sure to pick up some merch at the venue so you have something to bring along back with you after it’s all over. We hope you all have a great time and keep raving!
