ATB

Earlier this year, Germany’s ATB announced that he would release his final studio album in 2025. With a career that includes a total of 10 studio albums and over 55 gold and platinum awards in numerous countries, he has apparently always gone the extra yard with his studio albums, routinely releasing double album projects that feature a disc aimed for the dancefloor and a separate disc curated for the comedown.

The artist has reassured his supporters it does not signify his retirement from music. In a statement to the media, he confirmed that he will continue to create new music and perform live at shows worldwide. This album represents the closing of one chapter, but the beginning of another in his ongoing journey as a musician.

To emphasise his ongoing commitment, he recently dropped his latest single, ‘Don’t Stop’, in collaboration with the UK’s Dopamine, possibly known for the track ‘Friday’ with Riton. The single, released at the end of August, aims to showcase his continued evolution and creativity in the electronic music scene. 

ATB will celebrate his legacy on the road this autumn with his “Don’t Stop” US Tour PT.2, which will allow people to hear all the ATB classics but with special attention given to unreleased music that will appear on the final studio album. 

The tour kicks off on 1 November in Minneapolis and continues through American cities including Chicago, Austin, Sunnyvale, Costa Mesa, and Orlando for EDC Orlando. 

ATB had his big breakthrough moment with his hit single ‘9pm (Till I Come)’ in 1998. The track took the German DJ/producer to the top of the UK singles charts, becoming the first dance song to reach number 1 in the UK.
