Artists

Are you an artist and would you like to play at one of the ADE Festival events?

Good to know is that ADE is the ‘umbrella’ of all participating festival events and venues. This means that ADE oversees the programs the venues/promoters curate, but we do not make the actual bookings for the events' lineups. Therefore, we unfortunately do not have an in-house booker that we can connect you to.

We advise you to reach out to venues/events yourself, as this will increase the chances of being booked. When you’re booked at an official ADE venue, you’re automatically part of our full ADE line-up. You can find the list of last edition's venues here.

ADE is a proud partner of the Celebrate Safe campaign. We dance together, so please be mindful of yourself and each other. Check our tips to Celebrate Safe during ADE.
