Rooted in Culture

The culture is essential for the House and Club scene. House culture is rooted in black history, LGBTQI+ community, underground clubs and freedom of expression. During Rooted in Culture we present club culture through movement, education and inspiration.

In the 4th edition of Rooted in Culture we bring you food for thought and liberation of the body in collaboration with Lynnée Denise and legends of the Dutch Club Culture. For this edition we dive into the Women's representation in Club Culture through stories and sounds.

Get inspired during the Housedance workshop guided by Jozef Darma, who is one of the early clubheads in the Netherlands. The workshop will be guided by the DJ's of the Chill on Tuesday collective. Followed by Lynnée Denise taking you into this topic of Women Vocalists in the Making of House Music. After the indepth session we dance, Chill on Tuesday and Leroy Rey teaming up for a B2B session where they will bring the vibes to the dancefloor.

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.
