WORKROOM – STMPD STUDIOS
WORKROOM returns to Amsterdam Dance Event in 2026 with one of our biggest writing events yet, taking place during ADE’s 30th anniversary edition at STMPD Recording Studios
On Saturday 24 October, we will bring together around 30 exceptional artists, songwriters and producers from across dance and electronic music for a full day of collaboration at Martin Garrix’s renowned STMPD Recording Studios.
Across six studios, participants will be placed into groups selected to bring together complementary skills, sounds and perspectives. The aim is simple: create exciting new music, build genuine creative relationships and make the most of one of the biggest weeks in the global electronic music calendar.
Participating artists, writers and producers will be announced in the lead-up to ADE.
The event is free to attend, but spaces are limited and attendance is by application only. Every submission will be reviewed by WORKROOM, with the selection process beginning in September.
We are looking for people with something meaningful to bring to the room. That could be an unmistakable voice, exceptional songwriting, forward-thinking production or simply a creative perspective that deserves to be heard.
This is an opportunity to spend a full day creating inside one of Amsterdam’s leading recording facilities, surrounded by talented people who are serious about music and open to discovering where a new collaboration could lead.
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.
