Line-up
Bookshop Invites ADE: Lady Donli x Raiany Sinara
During this special The Bookshop Invites, in collaboration with the Prins Claus Fund and ADE Arts & Culture, we bring together various artists for an evening about music, memory, and heritage.
Nigerian musician Lady Donli, theater maker Priscilla Vaudelle, and Brazilian producer and DJ Raiany Sinara make an appearance.
The evening unfolds in three parts: a statement, an exploration, and an offering. First, Lady Donli will open the space with an artistic statement, setting the frequency for the evening. We then shift into a deeper conversation moderated by ITA programmer Richard Kofi, looking closely at the urgent ideas, influences, and creative practices that shape their work. To close the evening, Raiany Sinara will present a sonic performance responding to the opening statement, weaving past and present into a living, moving memory.
Together, they will explore how music, memory, and heritage are carried, transformed, and given new meaning across generations and geographies.
Not a standard artist talk, but an encounter you can hear, feel, and experience.
This event is part of Exchanges, the Prins Claus Fund's programme connecting Prince Claus Awardees and Seed Awardees with Amsterdam’s vibrant cultural landscape, this gathering creates a space for open conversation, shared learning and new connections across the city’s cultural ecosystem. Exchanges is made possible through the generous support from the City of Amsterdam.

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.
