Armin van Buuren has been named number one in the prestigious DJ MAG Top 100 poll four times in a row, as the first DJ in the history of the DJ Magazine and an indication of his prolific output over the more than 14 years he’s been dj’ing and producing. Being the official World’s Most Popular DJ is just one of his many achievements, but the driving force behind his success is an overriding passion for dance music. Sold-out shows for Armin Only in 2005 and 2006 created eager anticipation of the third edition, which kicked off in a sold-out Jaarbeurs in Utrecht in 2008; over 16,000 fans attended and were enthralled by the DJ’s nine hour set. The theme of the night was ‘Imagine’, described by Armin as “the celebration of our sensations both in life and in club land.”
And now show “Armin Only” will be held in Vilnius!
It is amazing opportunity to see this incredible, world famous performance! Do not miss it!

While the airports across Europe can hardly tackle the problem of the onslaught of snow and snowstorms, which disturb the travel plans for thousands of passengers, the spree of winter did not disturb the work of Vilnius International Airport (VIA). Thus, the planes took off on schedule, even though the airport services admit that they had to work shoulder to shoulder.
Though the flights from the airports of other European countries to Vilnius were delayed or cancelled due to weather conditions, abundant snowstorms and a thick snow -cover did not disturb the flights from Vilnius Airport. VIA divisions estimate that the amounts of snow collected and transported in December 2010 exceed the amounts of snow collected during the same months in 2009 and the years before by several times.
