Talkback Heads & Friends (After Party Showcase)
Following the success of last year's ADE afterparty, Talkback Heads returns to Amsterdam with another showcase celebrating the depth and diversity of Switzerland's underground electronic music scene. Bringing together three artists with distinct identities, this fully Helvetic lineup shines a light on a new generation of Swiss talent, united by a shared passion for pushing boundaries while staying true to the dance floor.
At the heart of the showcase is Talkback Heads (CH), whose sound bridges cultures and scenes through driving grooves, hypnotic rhythms, and forward-thinking techno. After years of international performances and releases on respected labels including Frequenza, Black Kat, Affluenza, and M5, he returns to ADE with the signature energy that has taken him from underground spaces to dance floors around the world.
Joining him is Ancient Astronaut X (CH), a close collaborator of Talkback Heads and an artist carving out his own path in melodic techno. Blending cinematic atmospheres, powerful grooves, and unexpected influences, his performances go beyond a traditional DJ set. Through live instrumentation, dynamic sound manipulation, and spontaneous elements, he creates immersive journeys that evolve in the moment. Known for seamlessly weaving rap influences into melodic techno, Ancient Astronaut X brings a unique fusion of emotion, energy, and experimentation to the dance floor.
Completing the lineup is FODA (CH), a Zürich-based DJ and producer whose high-energy, unpredictable sets have been shaped by Zürich's underground scene and the local Burning Man community. Expect punchy basslines, oriental textures, playful vocals, tribal rhythms, and acid undertones—all delivered with technical precision and an instinct for keeping the dance floor locked in from beginning to end.
Three artists. Three distinct visions of techno. One all-Swiss showcase. From hypnotic grooves and melodic journeys to peak-time energy, this is an invitation to discover a thriving underground scene making its mark far beyond the Alps.

Festival FAQ
ADE Festival tickets are sold individually by the festival event organizers, but you’ll also be able to purchase them through the ticket links on the event pages on our website here.
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.
