Amsterdam Dance Event prepares for 30 year anniversary

After a record-breaking year hosting 600,000 visitors and nearly 3,500 artists across more than 1,200 events, Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) is preparing for its 30 year anniversary.

The dates have been set for ADE 2026: Wednesday, October 21st to Sunday, October 25th.

Expect to hear about specials, initiatives and events in connection to the celebrations in the coming months.

Next year's event will follow a programme in 2025 which included a wide variety of ADE Opening Specials such as the ‘black queer church’ dubbed PRAISE by Honey Dijon x Audio Obscura at Nieuwe Kerk, large-scale experiences like Klangkuenstler at Ziggo Dome and Awakenings at their new SugarFactory base, all the way to events at SkateCafe, Garage Noord, RAUM, Klaproos, Tilla Tec, Studio Wieman, Lofi, and De Bajes.

Upgrades to ADE’s conference included adding Pro venue Rosewood and the move of ADE Lab to Westergas, new networking opportunities and programming at Pro, and an immersive experience for the next generation at Lab.

The conference showcased high profile artists, founders, and business representatives such as Skepta, KI/KI, Eris Drew, Chris Stussy, TxC, ANNA, Chris Liebing, alongside Google DeepMind, Epic Games, SoundCloud, Spotify, COLORSxSTUDIOS, Helix Records, Sony Music, and Tomorrowland Brasil.
