I will update this post continually as needed….
The “A State of Trance 450″ celebration/tour kicks off today and lasts for three consecutive days and for two more next weekend. Armin van Buuren begins the events with a live broadcast today at 1:00 PM, Central Time from The Guvernment in Toronto, Ontario. Check out Cube Trance’s up-to-the-hour tracklist for the whole five-day event (very sweet–thanks, Guys.)
You can hear a free live broadcast of today’s Toronto show (and also the Wrocław, Poland broadcast on Saturday, April 10, live from the Centennial Center) at alpharadio.bg. Click on the Winamp icon in the upper right corner of the page to stream it, or open the stream directly through your media player at http://188.126.1.9:8000/AlphaRadio. Other famous names (Markus Schulz, Aly & Fila, Sean Tyas, Signum, etc.) will join in with mini-guest preview mixes during the Toronto broadcast today and will have hour-long sets in various locations later tonight, which are to broadcast on some stations, and continuously on astateoftrance.com. The guest mixes will continue for the next several days and will mainly be available only on astateoftrance.com.
Here’s a full list of the events and locations and which stations are broadcasting the ASOT shows live over the next five days. Check out Armin’s Twitter feed for exact start times and additional tidbits of information.
If you miss any of the live sets (Armin’s or others’), you can hear them over the coming days at various times on zebradrive.com.

You can find the Bratislava, Slovakia broadcast live from the Expo Arena on Friday, April 9, live starting at 7:00 CT on XMRadio.com‘s Area station (channel 80), as well as on astateoftrance.com. astateoftrance.com will also have live video from the final day in Wrocław.
Replays of this show appear around the Net on free streams like the 96-kbps trance stations at DI.fm‘s Trance channel, and DI also will play the Toronto live show on their premium (paid) Trance channel.
Derrick Summers (DJ Derrick) from somewhere in the U.S. won the Bedroom DJ Contest! AlphaRadio cut off the broadcast though, so I switched over to the live stream from astateoftrance.com to listen to it. Very uplifting. I haven’t found any info on DJ Derrick on the Net just yet. This does make me a little sad…the Bedroom DJ winner should’ve been me! But I didn’t enter in time 
(next time, give us a time zone for that deadline, ASOT publicity people)….
