Beats (2019)
1994, United Kingdom. Johnno and Spanner have been best friends all their lives, but on the threshold of adulthood, their lives suddenly seem to be heading in different directions. On their last night together, they steal money from Spanner’s brother and set off for an illegal rave. Swept up by the anarchy and the intoxication of nightlife, they experience a wild trip they will never forget. A universal story about friendship, rebellion, and the power of standing strong together, set to the rhythms of a pounding soundtrack.
After party (22:00 - 03:00)
Kriterion is embracing the Amsterdam Dance Event to put dance back in the spotlight and push the DJ’s stardom into the background. From the basement, a diverse lineup of DJs will be spinning tracks to get the cinema's foyer moving. To bridge the gap with the dance floor, their sets will be livestreamed on vintage tube TVs scattered throughout the space. Alongside the specially curated film program “It’s Time for the Armageddon”—meant to inspire the crowd to dance as if it were judgment night—Kriterion’s very own All-Star dancers will step into the spotlight, shaking off stiffness and unleashing the audience’s full freedom of movement.

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.
