Official ADE Silent Disco Boat 22-10

Each October, Amsterdam transforms into the global capital of electronic music — and this year, the beats hit the water.

Step aboard the Official ADE Silent Disco Boat, a floating ADE stage that cruises from Central Station to the city’s biggest hotspots: Rembrandtplein and Leidseplein.
With departures every hour from 15:00 to 22:00, it’s the most fun way to travel between parties — or to warm up before your next night out.

With a day ticket, you can Hop On and Off as often as you like, or stay on board for the full 90-minute ride and soak up the music, lights, and city views.

On board, you’ll find everything for the perfect pre-party: live DJ talents from the Dutch scene, two music channels (from deep house and electronic vibes to upbeat urban hits), colourful lights, and a bar serving drinks at friendly prices.

🎧 ADE ticket holders get €5 off with code ADETicket2025.
Show your ADE ticket before boarding and hop on the city’s best pre-party.

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.
