The ADE Green 2025 Community
Following up on recent news about the opening specials of ADE 2025, we continue with ADE Green: the conference on sustainability and social change in the music industry. With ADE Green tickets now available, here are this year's partners and ambassadors. Their expertise ranges from circular design to sonic exploration, from building resilient infrastructures to creating cultural movements. Together, they form an ecosystem that pushes boundaries and shows what a greener future can look like. In this article, we introduce you to the organizations and individuals that made the 2025 edition possible.
Circularity & Systems Change
These partners bring structure and scale to ADE Green. They implement circular systems in infrastructure, urban life, and festivals, creating fertile ground for long-term transformation.
Circular Festivals ↗
A European coalition between 40+ organisations that reimagine festivals as testbeds for circular innovation. Through pilots and shared knowledge, they test new models for circularity that can inspire the wider industry and form a window to society.Statiegeld Nederland ↗
After the deposit scheme was extended in the Netherlands to cover more packaging, festivals became one of the spaces to reach people. Statiegeld Nederland shows how systemic change connects with everyday behaviour.VANG Buitenshuis ↗
Working across public spaces in the Netherlands, they focus on reducing waste and creating systems that make recycling second nature in daily life.Bouwplaats van de Toekomst ↗
A construction site where circular principles guide every step. Their projects demonstrate how future cities can be built with reuse, adaptability, and resilience at their core.City of Amsterdam ↗
The city has committed to becoming climate neutral and fully circular by 2050. ADE Green is one of the spaces where these ambitions connect with culture. In their words: “We aim to explore how we can address the complex challenges facing Amsterdam. By bringing together diverse perspectives and roles, we hope to shed light on these challenges in a holistic way. Events provide one of these perspectives, but we also focus on the contributions of policymakers, innovators, knowledge institutions, and impact makers. Together, we aim to inspire actionable solutions and foster meaningful collaborations.”

Creative Sonic Experiences
ADE Green is about culture as much as policy. These creatives bring sustainability into the realm of feeling, where music and art become catalysts for change. Exploring how sound and creativity can shift perception.
Alchemic Sonic Environment ↗
Returning to ADE Green after first attending in 2013, they bring Essence: A Deep Listening Experience. They invite participants into an immersive practice where listening becomes an active, transformative force. “From noise to listening. From doing to being. Our wish is to spark conversations on the deeper shift that begins within.”Emergency Exit ↗
Exploring climate urgency through artistic and performative practices, this project translates ecological realities into four immersive shows across Europe, building bridges between organizations as Boom, Exit , and La Fura dels Baus.Mindworks Lab ↗
A think-and-do tank exploring the human side of climate action. “Conversations are an incredibly powerful tool to get people to reflect, shift and feel more empowered to act. We are organising a unique 1:1 conversation between two very different artists that will show the power of meaningful dialogue and itself spark more conversations.”
Movement Makers & Culture Amplifiers
Communities and initiatives that turn climate awareness into collective action. These ambassadors show that climate action is cultural as much as technical. They bring people togethe and transform community energy into collective momentum.
Amnesty International NL ↗
Bringing an ethical lens to ADE Green, reminding us that culture, freedom, and human rights are inseparable — and that social justice is fundamental to sustainable futures.DJs For Climate Action ↗
A global network of DJs using nightlife as a platform for climate justice. Their Earth Night series mobilizes audiences across continents through music and action.Lab Vlieland ↗

Infrastructure Innovators
Festivals are temporary cities. These partners provide the systems—water, power, logistics—that make sustainable operations tangible and scalable. They provide the technical expertise that allows festivals to operate responsibly.
MTD ↗
Experts in water infrastructure for events, ensuring that resources are managed responsibly without compromising on quality.The Powershop ↗
Experts in smart energy distribution. By rethinking how power is delivered and used, they help festivals reduce emissions without sacrificing reliability.
Festival Organizations
As laboratories for change, these organisations show how legacy, creativity, and experimentation can shape both industry standards and cultural movements.
Into the Great Wide Open ↗ – A festival taking place on the island of Vlieland in the Netherlands, that has become a benchmark for circular, fossil-free operation. In 2024 they ran on 95% renewable energy, and they continue to push towards emission-free operations while inspiring the wider cultural sector.
ID&T ↗ – With a legacy that shaped festival culture across the Netherlands, ID&T has been central to building the foundations of ADE Green in its beginning. Read more about our partnership with ID&T below.
