ELSA
ELSA
ELSA is a four-piece band led by singer-songwriter Elsa Steixner. Their second album, JUMP!, tells its story in subtle nuances and with great emotion. These are songs that move between catchiness and mystery, between intuition and musical finesse. Though all four musicians share a solid jazz foundation from their studies (Academy of the Arts, NL), their music defies categorization, moving freely beyond genre lines. Their sound moves confidently between art pop, folk, blues, and improvisational openness. - A sound language that remains emotionally accessible without being predictable. The band has won several awards, including the Start Scholarship from the Austrian Federal Ministry of Music, the Audience Award at the Avignon Jazz Festival, and the Sparda Jazz Award, and has had an international presence since its inception. With JUMP!, the band released their second album in 2025, with which they have been touring Europe ever since with concert appearances at renowned venues such as Porgy & Bess, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Wiener Festwochen, and recordings at Abbey Road Studios in London.

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.
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.
