Zipang Presents: Tokyo After Dark
Zipang Presents: Tokyo After Dark
A one-night journey where fantasy and pleasure intertwine in the heart of Tokyo.
Step into a night where traditional Japanese elegance meets cutting-edge sound.
Sensual Oiran dancers will grace the floor, creating a surreal fusion of East and West.
The musical journey begins with Melodic House & Techno, evolves into Tech House and Techno, and culminates in the hypnotic depths of Psy-Trance—a carefully curated progression to elevate both body and mind.
Headlining the night is none other than GMS, global icons of the psychedelic trance world.
Joining them is PSYLENT NINJA from the legendary TIP RECORDS, and O-MAN, a pioneer of the Osaka scene who has shared stages with some of the biggest names in global electronic music.
Representing the beating heart of Tokyo’s underground, a lineup of top-tier DJs will take over the night.
At the forefront stands JEEN SEIGO, founder of Japan’s largest DJ school and a prolific producer with releases on leading Dutch labels such as PROTOCOL, WALL, REVEALED, and HELDEEP.
This is not just a party.
This is ZIPANG — an immersive experience where sound, tradition, and spirit collide in the darkness of Tokyo’s after hours.
Blend XL, a spacious bar (275m2) with tables and especially during the ADE we create a big dance floor, located on the Reguliersdwarsstraat 44, one street back from the famous Flower Market. It’s been a while since Amsterdam had such a large new open minded place with so much allure, street arts graffities on its walls. Blend XL will be open to all genders, in harmony and respect for all sexualities. A place to be seen and where you can be who you want to be. Glittery yet sober, groovy yet glamorous, a touch gay oriented but though enough to appeal to almost everybody who can appreciate some good old sophistication, fashion and party time. In a cozy atmosphere you will enjoy your cocktails and drinks. You will dance and groove in a stunning venue until very late night with a funky mix of music that will make your 5 ADE days a unique experience.

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.
