New world, new ways, new opportunities: On a clear Road to ADE 2021

Tuesday, 25 May 2021
With hope finally on the horizon, we're gearing up to celebrate the reopening of our scene at our 25th anniversary edition in Amsterdam from October 13th — 17th, 2021!

As a result of the widespread vaccination campaign and rapid test capacity in the Netherlands, the road to ADE has officially begun.

The ADE team aims to present the best possible ADE experience while ensuring public health guidelines, and we're dedicated to providing a rich program for professionals, artists and music enthusiasts alike. The first highlights have already been confirmed and pre-registration for the ADE Pro Pass is now open, so read on below for the full update.

We can't wait to finally welcome you all back to Amsterdam again for our anniversary celebrations this October!
