Tonight Paul van Dyk fell off the stage. He’s on his way to the hospital. He’s one of the heroes of A State of Trance Festival and that’s why we have closed the Mainstage.
All of the other stages are open until 6 o’clock. As soon as we have more information, we will let you know.

Get well soon Paul van dyk!!!
Your music has helped me through some dark days in my life thoughts and prayers are with you and hope you recover fit and well

Paul I hope you're ok man. Thank you for letting me know Armin van Buuren. You did make the right choice in closing the main stage. Paul is a hero, so are you Armin, so is the whole crowd for being so understanding, and so full of love.
Everybody involved is in my thoughts and my prayers. I Don't know how else to put it but, I've been dealing with chronic pain for 9 years coming up in mid march, it's been since december 2014 since I've had 28 extractions due to multiple abcesses and infections, it took me two years to find an oral surgeon. I would Gladly, Gladly, do it all again just to see a hero like paul recover fully.
Like you said Armin, there's a lot of pressure. I hope when this is all over, you guys take a break, a vacation, and most importantly, know that everyone is sending their trance-focused healing energy. Do not blame yourself Armin van Buuren.

I saw it happening when I was dancing in the Mainstage 
As soon as I saw that an ambulance including an medical air assistance was required in the Jaarbeurs I started to worry 😢
I don't care about the vinyl set now....
Just wishing all the best to Paul!

Saddening news indeed. It was good to see so many people on Twitter wishing him well while the details were still unfolding. Here's to a speedy recovery and a due return if and when you feel up to it.

I appreciated the gesture of cancelling the vinyl set, Armin. You looked absolutely devastated by what happened and my thoughts are with Paul
. But when things like this do occur a sooner announcement would be useful. Not 40 minutes later. In some parts of the stage it was really crowded and people were restless and much too drunk. We were all checking Twitter for an update because neither the guards nor the technicians knew anything. I have to say I was a bit frustrated by the whole communication issue. ASOT is for many of us long-term fans the highlight of the year.. And this year it left a slight bitter aftertaste.

Armin, we were all eagerly waiting for your vinyl set, but what you did, choosing to cancel, was the most respectful thing to do. Thank you for being such a human being! We all pray for Paul Van Dyk

I hope he's going to be ok. A 20 foot drop for a man his age is not likely to end without significant injury, especially if he fell forward on his head, which is what some sources are reporting. I hope there will be an update soon. No news is not always good news.
