Afro House Summit Returns to ADE 2026
After a breakout debut that welcomed more than 1,200 attendees at LuminAir, Afro House Summit returns to Amsterdam Dance Event on Thursday, October 22, 2026, bringing the global Afro House community together once again in the heart of Amsterdam.
Presented by My Other Side Of The Moon x Vibora, Afro House Summit is more than an event, it is a meeting point for the people shaping the future of Afro House music, culture and business.
From artists and DJs to record labels, A&Rs, promoters, managers, media, brands and music industry professionals, the Summit creates a unique environment to discover the real spirit of Afro House, connect with the people behind the scene and build meaningful relationships with the global industry.
As Afro House continues to grow from its roots in Sub-Saharan Africa, Brazil and the MENA region into one of the most influential sounds in global electronic music, Afro House Summit provides a space where the culture can be experienced from the inside, through music, conversations, networking and direct industry connections.
Taking place at the spectacular LuminAir in Amsterdam, the Summit will bring together key Afro House players for exclusive DJ sets, A&R sessions and industry networking.
Whether you are an established artist, an emerging producer, a label representative, A&R, promoter, manager, media professional or brand looking to connect with the Afro House audience, this is an opportunity to meet the right people, exchange ideas, discover new talent and create new business, marketing and collaboration opportunities within the scene.
Discover. Connect. Create.
Afro House Summit at ADE 2026 is where the global Afro House community comes together.
Come and discover the sound, the culture and the people driving Afro House forward and become part of the conversation shaping its future.

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.
