ADE Program

ADE's conference program is the ultimate business and inspiration platform for the global electronic music industry, featuring dedicated programming for music professionals, aspiring DJs/producers and musicians, tech start-ups, brand- and marketing managers and much more.

Are you an (aspiring) producer, DJ, musician, visual artist, creator or all-round electronic music enthusiast, and are you keen to learn more about your field and industry? Good news: ADE Lab returns with a program full of activities and experiences focused on the entire spectrum of creative disciplines in electronic music to help you push your music career forward.

The ADE Festival is a 5-day and night celebration of electronic music that takes over the entire city of Amsterdam. With over 200 venues hosting more than 1,000 events, the festival transforms the city into a vibrant hub of beats and creativity. With intimate underground sets to massive club nights, ADE brings together 2,900+ artists, making Amsterdam breathe music from every corner.

ADE Arts & Culture has been the staple of the crossover between electronic music and other art forms. The program focuses on today's makers who find their strength in the night, the positive impact electronic music has on its makers and listeners, and broadening horizons.

Our ADE Friends program includes special, one-off events of all shapes and sizes, mostly with free admission for young and old. Think of events such as in-store sessions, interviews with (famous) artists, networking drinks with people from the music industry, a bite to eat while enjoying vinyl sessions, and much more. The ADE Friends program is for everyone who wants to hop from place to place during the day to get the real ADE feeling.
