ADE x 750 Opening Concert: Dome Concerts presents Julius Horsthuis & Suzanne Ciani
Immersive full-dome concert at ARTIS Planetarium:
Step into the cosmos as Suzanne Ciani, legendary pioneer of electronic music, opens ADE 2025 under the dome of the ARTIS Planetarium. Known worldwide as the “diva of the diode,” Ciani has redefined electronic sound with her mastery of the Buchla synthesizer. With five Grammy nominations and a career spanning groundbreaking compositions and iconic sound design, her live performances are nothing short of transcendental. In this exclusive ADE appearance, Ciani’s shimmering sonic waves merge with Julius Horsthuis’ 360° fractal worlds — a visionary union of sound and image that marks an unforgettable beginning to ADE 2025.
Expect an immersive fusion of sound and image: pulsating beats, otherworldly landscapes and dazzling light worlds in perfect synergy. A rare chance to experience music and visuals in full 360°. Only during ADE, only inside ARTIS planetarium.

Artis Zoo
Opened in 1988 to celebrate ARTIS’ 150th anniversary, the ARTIS Planetarium has been turning eyes to the cosmos for decades. Step away from the city’s buzz and dive into a breathtaking voyage across the universe. At the Planetarium, you’ll drift past stars, planets, and distant galaxies as the vastness of the cosmos unfolds all around you. From this unique perspective, you look back at Earth, our fragile home, deeply connected to all life within it. It’s not just a show, but an experience that sparks awe and reflection on our place in the infinite.

Festival FAQ
ADE Festival tickets will be sold via the festival event organizers individually. Therefore, we advise you to keep an eye on their own website/socials.

Not to worry! Make sure to contact the event (or their ticketing provider) you are visiting as soon as possible with as many details about your order; name, email address, amount of tickets, etc. Once they've recovered your order, the tickets can be resent to your email.
Need help to find your event's contact details? Message us at [email protected] and we'll be happy to help.
Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.
Please double-check the promoter's or venue's website to be sure you can access the event!
Yes, the ADE Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events.
Be aware though that there are over 1,200 events during ADE that you can enter with the Pro Pass wristband and that ADE cannot guarantee access. There is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for Pro Pass holders. This means for some of the more crowded events you have to arrive early. Once capacity is reached, we will go over in a full-for-now policy. The festival event organizer will decide when and if more people are allowed to go in.
The ADE Pro Pass is the perfect fit if you are planning on enjoying the combination of day and night events. If you want guaranteed access to a particular festival event, we advise you to get a single festival ticket instead.
We dance together, so please be mindful of yourself and each other. We expect an open attitude from our visitors towards other guests, regardless of their origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion and age. If you see or experience any unwanted attention, harassment or behavior of any kind that makes you uncomfortable, please speak out and notify staff.
Please keep in mind: we love being your annual host, therefore, we would like to ask you to enjoy yourself responsibly.
