Whatsnew returns to ADE on Saturday October 25th.
After last year’s huge success, Whatsnew is back at one of Amsterdam’s most iconic venues for another unforgettable night. Join us at the Royal Tropical Institute for an exclusive ADE show in one of the city’s most beautiful halls.
Preparations are already in full swing for what’s shaping up to be our strongest edition yet. On Saturday, October 25, we’re taking things up a notch with a finely curated lineup, a stunning setting, and that signature Whatsnew energy.
Following last year’s sold out event, we’re once again bringing together the perfect blend of fresh talent and seasoned selectors to the marble hall of this historic building. This is the one you don’t want to miss.
Just like before, we’re setting the tone early on Saturday, delivering a unique experience right in the heart of Amsterdam.

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.

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.
