ABDETIK & FRIENDS
Line-up
ABDETIK & FRIENDS
The story of ABDETIK reads like an incredibledd adventure. After working relentlessly for the past 17 months and dropping as many releases as possible since October 2025, things are moving insanely fast. From his home studio in the province of Groningen, he is rapidly conquering international radio stations, and this summer he spontaneously played the closing set at the legendary Club Eden in Ibiza!
As the next step in this journey, he is crowning his very first ADE performance with his own exclusive showcase at the famous Desmet Studio's (where heavyweights like Lucas & Steve have also hosted their intimate parties).
With the brand-new release of his single 'Moments' on S2 (the label of Swiss house pioneer EDX), a coveted spot in the Beatport Mainstage Top 100, and the pioneering of his unique Organic Progressive House sound, the down-to-earth artist from Groningen is on the verge of a global breakthrough.
During this special 'ABDETIK & FRIENDS' edition, the DJ booth will be placed right in the middle of the room. Don't expect a standard program with strict set times, but rather a laid-back afternoon full of spontaneous back-to-back sessions with befriended artists. And those secret guests are going to shake this showcase to its core. We are talking about absolute festival headliners and Mainstage global stars dropping by unannounced, simply to support the artist they have been friends with for years.
Seize this unique opportunity. This is the perfect moment to experience the energy of this musical fairytale up close in an intimate setting, before ABDETIK heads into the capital for the rest of the week for surprise performances at the parties of the biggest names in the scene!

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.
