Line-up
Maarten Vos & Maotik present: Erratic Weather
For the first time, ERRATIC WEATHER is presented in an immersive full-dome environment. Beneath a 360° projection dome, audiences are completely surrounded by sound and visuals, transforming MAOTIK and Maarten Vos' acclaimed audiovisual performance into an entirely new experience.
Inspired by the growing impact of climate change, ERRATIC WEATHER translates historical hurricane data into a living audiovisual landscape that unfolds in real time.
Before each performance, the system selects a historical hurricane from a database. Scientific data—including geolocation, atmospheric pressure, temperature and wind speed—forms the foundation for a unique composition of sound and visuals. No two performances are ever the same. Each show follows the life cycle of a different storm, allowing audiences to experience the beauty, power and unpredictability of nature through an ever-changing generative artwork.
During the performance, swirling hurricanes, typhoons and tropical cyclones evolve across the dome while music and imagery respond continuously to the underlying data. The result is a poetic interpretation of our changing climate—both mesmerizing and thought-provoking.
The immersive dome transforms the performance into something entirely new. Instead of watching the storm unfold on a screen, audiences find themselves inside it. The 360° environment amplifies the scale, movement and emotion of the work, creating an experience that can only exist within a dome.

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.
