History

Allan Hardenberg and David Lewis have been active in the Dutch dance scene since its very beginning. In 1997, the two entrepreneurs organized events such as Armin Only, Tiësto Solo and "Three DJs in a Boat". Seven years after they started their collaboration, Armin van Buuren, Maykel Piron and David Lewis founded Armada. With this company, Armin Only became more successful and new concepts as Armada Night, A State of Trance and Famous were developed.

Hardenberg and Lewis decided to start their own independent event agency and founded ALDA Events. It originated in 2007 and has since then been operating from Amsterdam. Early years were Armin Only, Best Of Both Worlds and A Day at the Park. Eventually, the event portfolio would extend with events like Electronic Family, Citymoves, various Armada concepts and other event nights during Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE).[2][3]

In 2011 and 2013 ALDA Events was nominated for the International Dance Music Awards (IDMA) in the category Best Event Promoter Worldwide.[4] Besides that, the A State of Trance concept has won various awards throughout the years.[5] On November 25, 2014 it was announced that SFX Entertainment has acquired 50% of ALDA Holding BV. ALDA Events will keep operating as an independent company and will continue to develop internationally.[6] Late 2015, ALDA Events announced it had opened a second branch in Hong Kong. [7]
