Avant Garden & When Nature Calls: THE CALM DOWN
Avant Garden & When Nature Calls: THE CALM DOWN
The Calm Down is a music and wellness experience by Los Angeles-based independent label Avant Garden, in collaboration with When Nature Calls, taking over their Biohacking Center during Amsterdam Dance Event.
Designed as a reset from ADE's hectic energy, The Calm Down brings together music, wellness and community under one roof. Throughout the event, guests can take part in experiences including a restorative yoga, traditional Chinese medicine inspired meditations with accupressure, a Cacao Ritual + Reiki, Reflexology and more.
Complementing the wellness program, guests can enjoy live performances by Yonatan Ayal (of Chiiild) and Amsterdam/Ghanaian artist Bnnyhunna, piano virtuosos friqtao and Raffaelle Magliuolo, and a downtempo ambient DJ set curated by Fingerbleed. There will be an exclusive menu created especially for the event by local brands like along with a coffee menu inspired by Azad's XHOTCOFFEE.
We're looking forward to offering guests the opportunity to recharge, discover and connect before stepping back into the madness of ADE.

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.
