KENZi by Day - ADE Edition

KENZi x REDBOX

An intimate sunset listening session in Mr. Watson's botanical roast room. From late afternoon into the evening, Afro House and Afro Tech move from laid-back grooves into deeper, more hypnotic rhythms - surrounded by plants, open fire and warm light.

Come early for open-fire dishes and cocktails, stay as the sun goes down and the energy builds. Every set is filmed and recorded by REDBOX.

Free entry - RSVP via Resident Advisor.
Table reservation for dinner is advised at Mr. Watson.

About KENZi

KENZi is more than a party - it's a pulse, a rhythm, a ritual rooted in African heritage, shaped by modern Afro House and Afro Tech and guided by the soul. No rules, no labels - only rhythm, connection and release. Here we dance not for the crowd but for ourselves, returning to the rhythm.

KENZi is for your inner dancer. Welcome to your temple.

About REDBOX

REDBOX is a non-profit artist-curatorial project, music platform and media initiative built around artists, live performance and the spaces where music comes to life.

Through curated events, recorded sessions and collaborations, REDBOX connects artists with new audiences while producing high-quality visual content, from filming and atmosphere capture to editing and final delivery.

Our goal is to support artists, create opportunities for emerging talent and build a platform where music, visual culture and community can grow together.

Different sounds, different spaces, one platform.

Mr Watson

Open fire. Bold cocktails. At Mr. Watson we roast, shake and ferment our way through the world of mushrooms. From our iconic Lion's Mane steak to house-made ferments and hot sauces lining the walls. A fusion of raw urban energy and a lush botanical atmosphere. Built for people who like their flavours loud and their evenings alive.

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.
