Armin van Buuren Becomes “Global Oceans Ambassador” For World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)!
World-famous DJ, Armin van Buuren, and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) are joining forces to motivate millions of people to join the movement to stop plastic waste being dumped in oceans. WWF is proud to announce that as “Global Oceans Ambassador”, Armin will contribute to the worldwide #BeatPlastic campaign.
Armin van Buuren says: “In between tours, I visited several WWF projects on Bali. There I could see with my own eyes how beautiful animals like turtles are affected by plastic pollution. These experiences opened my eyes and made me realize how much aid is needed. For years, I have been bringing people together through music. That’s my way of making the world a little better. Besides being a DJ and producer, I am also a father and I want to give my kids the world they deserve, a world that not only they can appreciate, but one that can be enjoyed by many generations to come.” The DJ adds: “The WWF’s inspiring message of nature conservation appeals to me as a father, a person and a public figure. I’m proud to announce we are joining forces and that I can call myself a Global Oceans Ambassador.”
The top DJ and the nature organization intend the #BeatPlastic campaign to mobilize Armin’s millions of fans, followers, and supporters to stop plastic pollution. Urgent action is needed because at present, 8 million tons of plastic are dumped in the oceans each year.
Eradicating disposable plastic
As WWF ambassador, Armin is going to be active on various fronts. One of his projects is to ask his fans to sign the WWF petition, which calls on world leaders to draft an international binding UN treaty, containing concrete steps to stop plastic pollution. Armin is also going to give the right example by making his A State of Trance events plastic-smart.
Coordinated approach
Marco Lambertini, Director General of WWF International is delighted with the news of Armin being named WWF “Global Oceans Ambassador”: “Our Oceans are in crisis, threatened by climate change and overfishing, but also plastic pollution, which is set to double by 2030. Addressing this requires a concerted approach involving business, government and the public. Together with leading personalities like Armin we can inspire millions of people around the globe to speak up to ensure that plastics never become waste.”
UNTOLD & ZAMNA have recently announced a global music partnership which will bring the two brands together, redefining premium global electronic events.
UNTOLD Universe, one of the most beloved entertainment groups in the world, is entering a new stage in its international expansion: a strategic partnership with ZAMNA, the music concept born in Tulum, Mexico, that has become a global benchmark in the premium electronic events scene.
This collaboration brings together two brands that deliver complete experiences to their fans: UNTOLD Europe ranked in 2025 among the world’s top 3 festivals for the second year in a row, known for its spectacular productions, global lineups (included live acts and top DJs), and ability to build themed universes around each event; ZAMNA, a brand that has redefined how electronic events in nature are perceived. Created in the heart of the Mexican jungle, ZAMNA has become an international phenomenon thanks to its organic stage designs, curated lineups focused on melodic techno, house, and deep sounds, and its immersive, multisensory atmosphere.
At the anniversary edition UNTOLD X in Europe, the Galaxy Stage – the festival’s techno hub – will host a ZAMNA-branded experience. For the first time, the UNTOLD fans will feel the live energy of this global phenomenon, within a legendary space for lovers of techno and melodic house. More details will soon be announced.
During the second edition of UNTOLD Dubai, which will be hosted at Dubai Parks and Resorts in November 2025, ZAMNA will curate a dedicated stage featuring an international lineup of melodic techno and house artists and original visual design.
Artists like Adriatique, Dixon, Black Coffee, Mind Against, Âme, and Tale of Us have been part of ZAMNA shows in spectacular locations across more than 15 countries: Mexico, Spain, Brazil, Thailand, France, Italy, and the USA.
The partnership between UNTOLD Universe and ZAMNA doesn’t stop at UNTOLD Dubai. The two brands are already working on a series of international activations in key locations across Europe, the Middle East, and South America. Their common goal is to create event formats that can redefine fan expectations – crafted with the same attention to atmosphere, curation, and detail.
The 10-year anniversary edition of the UNTOLD Europe will take place from August 7–10 in Transylvania, Romania, with artists like Post Malone, Metro Boomin, Martin Garrix, Anyma, Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, FISHER, Dom Dolla, Black Coffee, Adriatique, Hugel and many more.
