Rave In The Church

Presented by Melbourne’s leading underground crew EAT THE BEAT in ollaboration with OFF GLOBAL GROUP and STUCK IN A LOOP

Sacred architecture meets modern rave energy, right in the heart of Amsterdam.We are taking over the beautifully preserved chapel of Hotel Arena, a monumental building, which was built in 1888. Throughout the years, the building has been transformed, however the monumental ornaments, such as the original cast iron and marble staircase and the restored Chapel, have been kept in its original.

The chapel’s sacred arches become a cathedral of sound and light!

Walk through history while dancing into the future.

Hotel Arena

Hotel Arena is situated at the edge of the city center of Amsterdam and is accessible through Oosterpark. The hotel is situated in a monumental building, which was built in 1888. Throughout the years, the building has been transformed from a Catholic orphanage to a four-star hotel.

The monumental ornaments, such as the original cast iron and marble staircase and the restored Chapel, have been kept in its original state. They still tell the stories about the impressive history of the building.

This rich history is being combined with modern design and vibe, which is visible in the hotel rooms, PARK Café-Restaurant, the creative meeting and event Studios, the beautiful Salon and the unique Chapel.

Hotel Arena is the spot where you drink, eat, work, sleep and dance. The spot where you talk and listen, discover and explore, go out and come home and get to know and meet.

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.
