Venues & Promotors
Would you like to host an event during ADE as part of the ADE Festival program?

an approved safety plan for organizing dance events.

Learn more about these requirements and read all the terms and conditions set by Gemeente Amsterdam via https://www.amsterdam.nl/toeri...

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/promotes 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 yourself, as this will increase the chances of being booked a lot more. When you’re booked at an official ADE 2024 venue, you’re automatically part of our full ADE line-up. You can find a list of participating venues here and a list of announced official ADE Festival events here.
