Armin van Buuren brings ASOT 600 to Madison Square Garden, New World Punx perform for the first time as a duo
Armin Van Buuren stands backstage at Madison Square Garden, he sways idly, half of his body cloaked behind the large black curtain that separates the Garden's staff tunnels and a crowd of photographers. His calm - almost unnatural, his breathing - measured, an unlikely attitude for a man about to perform in front of a sold out Madison Square Garden. Before Ferry Corsten and Markus Schulz, as the new superduo, New World Punx close out their set, Armin steps out from behind the curtain and slowly approaches the stairs leading up to the twenty foot high platform. Cameras flash, Armin smiles placing one hand on the railing, turning only for a second, before he makes his ascent into history.
