Line-up
Blawan (Live)
Through both time in the studio and time on the road, Jamie Roberts has dedicated over a decade to developing his alias, Blawan. In the process, he’s created a universe that’s all his own. Roberts grew up in Barnsley, UK and from an early age was etching out his musical path as a drummer – a relic of the past which should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with his productions. Indeed, his discography as Blawan illuminates a natural fluency for rhythm, whether straight, stridently syncopated, or swinging somewhere in between. In 2021, Blawan debuted on XL Recordings with an EP titled, Woke Up Right Handed.
Upon release, the record caused ripples of excitement in the world of experimental club music, going on to become a bonafide phenomenon and appearing in ‘Best Of 2021’ lists in RA, Crack Magazine, The Quietus, and more. Resident Advisor said of it “Every Blawan record in recent memory has been eye-opening, but this one is blinding in its brilliance, packaging everything great about each era of Blawan into five blissfully bizarre tracks.” This was followed by the EP Dismantled Into Juice in 2023, with its distorted drum rhythms, piercing synths, unbelievable drums, and original vocal cuts that formed his most riveting and genre-bending music to date. In its wake, he has continued to bring his stunning Live and DJ shows to stages across the world, with a string of B2B performances with Skrillex and the curation of a stage at 2024’s Draaimolen Festival. Once again side-stepping expectations, December 2024 saw the release of “BouQ”, an EP that melds Blawan’s vocal with disorientating, menacing electronic experimentation. The first track “Fires” - a standout for DJs like Four Tet, Skrillex, and Joy Orbison - typifies the record’s expansive sound. With every release, Blawan continually cements his reputation as a truly singular talent. On wednesday 22nd of October, Blawan will do a special live show in Parallel.

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 Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events. Even if a festival event is sold out, you can still access the event with your ADE Pro Pass wristband. During ADE there are over 500 festival events and hundreds more cultural and conference events you can enter with the wristband. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for ADE Pro wristband holders. This means that, for some of the more crowded events, you have to arrive early to ensure attendance. Once capacity is reached, ADE Pro holders will be let into the event on a one in-one-out basis.
