DISCO I’m coming out - Wereldmuseum Amsterdam
Line-up
DISCO I’m coming out - Wereldmuseum Amsterdam
DISCO changed nightlife forever. But how did it all begin? What did Amsterdam sound like when the first disco records drifted in from New York? Who was there at the forefront when everything was still new, raw and exciting? And what remains of those nights filled with glitter, freedom and unapologetic dancing?
During this ADE Arts & Culture special, we dive into the history of the disco scene and the dawn of the DJ era. From pioneers and tastemakers to clubs like Vrijhaven and today’s festivals. We trace the journey from disco to house and ask ourselves: is that energy still alive? Do we still dare to embrace the disco spirit?
Expect stories, music, performances and fresh perspectives. We honour the past, question the present and celebrate everything in between.
Tickets online soon.

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.
