Dome Concerts presents: COLIN BENDERS

Sound and image emerge together.

This ADE, Dome Concerts opens a new chapter at FABRIQUE DES LUMIERES — one of Amsterdam's most extraordinary cultural venues. Across four days, internationally acclaimed artists transform this monumental space through sound, light and architecture.

For this special performance at Fabrique des Lumières, Colin Benders joins forces with visual artist Tristan Gieler*, a longtime collaborator with whom he shares a strong creative connection.

Through his modular synthesiser, Colin creates evolving rhythms, textures and electronic soundscapes, while Tristan brings the music to life through dynamic, real-time visuals.

Known for his work with the Kijkbuiskinderen collective and major festivals including Awakenings, Lowlands and Mysteryland, Tristan approaches visuals as an extension of the music, connecting sound and image.

Together, they transform Fabrique des Lumières into a unique audiovisual experience, where music and visuals interact and evolve throughout the performance.

An audiovisual journey shaped live, in the moment.

**Programme Update:


Due to unforeseen technical complications, the original audiovisual performance with Othernode will no longer take place as planned. Instead, Colin Benders will be joined by Tristan Gieler, presenting a different approach to live audiovisual performance.


Dome Concerts is an immersive 360° live audiovisual series taking place throughout ADE at ARTIS Planetarium and Fabrique des Lumières.

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. Unless otherwise stated on the individual event page.

Please be aware that for all events happening at Johan Cruijff ArenA, Ziggo Dome or AFAS Live, ADE Pro Pass holders must first visit the accreditation desk at the ADE Pro Pass & Info Hub on ArenA Boulevard before heading to the venue. Please bring both your ADE Pro Pass badge and wristband and allow enough time for accreditation. You can find the Hub here.

For the other Festival events during ADE:
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.
