AFAS Live's ADE: Break-neck speeds and cheeky hooks

Monday, 18 September 2023
Just beside Amsterdam's Johan Cruyff Arena is AFAS Live. Since its inception in 2001, the specially designed black box (formerly known as the Heineken Music Hall) receives upwards of 600,000 visitors a year. Electronic music juggernauts like Aly & Fila, Ben Gold, Cosmic Gate, and Martin Garrix have all performed at the venue for previous editions Amsterdam Dance Event - and this year's lineup will surely keep those feet fixed on the dance floor and both hands in the air.
