Erwin Olaf at The Grand
Line-up
Erwin Olaf at The Grand
As part of the ADE Arts & Culture program, a selection of iconic photographs from Clubscene by Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf will be on display at Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam. The exhibition will be presented in the hotel lobby and at Oriole Garden Bistro, offering guests and visitors the opportunity to experience Olaf’s visual universe.
Open to walk-in visitors throughout ADE week, this exhibition brings together photography, nightlife and contemporary culture in a setting that celebrates the vibrant atmosphere of the city of Amsterdam.
The partnership reflects a shared appreciation for art, culture and the power of creative expression, while highlighting the close connection between Amsterdam’s cultural heritage and its electronic music scene.
The photographs will also form part of the atmosphere during theADE Kitchen Party at Restaurant Bridges and Oriole Garden Bistro, where art, gastronomy and music come together in celebration of one of Amsterdam’s most dynamic weeks of the year.

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.
