Amsterdam Dance Event marks three decades this October with a massive initial roster featuring Avalon Emerson, DJ Nobu, and Octo Octa.
Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) has confirmed the first 250 artists for its 30th anniversary, running October 21–25. The initial wave balances heavyweights with essential selectors, including Freddy K, Shanti Celeste, KI/KI, and Job Jobse across the city's key venues.
Programming highlights include Skepta’s Más Tiempo takeover at Warehouse Elementenstraat and David Guetta’s Monolith show at Gashouder. The edition leans into history as much as the future, naming French pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre as guest of honor for a special 'Oxygène' performance.
While the circuit continues to evolve, the local landscape faces shifts following news that Tilla Tec—located in the former De School—will shutter by year's end. ADE remains the central pillar for the Dutch capital's electronic output.
