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.

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.
ADE is proud partner of the Celebrate Safe campaign.
