Statement regarding Komplott x Overgave on October 21

Following the public statement issued by promoters Komplott and Overgave surrounding their event at Panama on Wednesday, Oct 21, ADE has determined that the stance adopted by the event's organizers conflicts directly with ADE's values, and is inherently insensitive to our role and mission of nurturing the electronic music scene, nightlife, and its communities. Although ADE is a decentralized festival and programming decisions remain the responsibility of individual event organizers, we do have control over our mission, and our affiliated partners are expected to align with those standards.

As a result, ADE has revoked all official ADE affiliation from Komplott and Overgave and will not proceed with the event as part of ADE Festival. Under this decision, the organizers remain able to continue hosting the event, but not as part of the ADE umbrella. Whether the event proceeds independently remains the sole decision of the organizers and the host venue.
