ZERØBPM ADE | THREE-DAY AMBIENT MEDITATION RITUAL
Surrender to the ritual; go deep during ADE.
From 23–25 October 2026, De Thomaskerk becomes home to a three-day Ambient Meditation Ritual by ZERØBPM. Across the weekend, 33 international artists guide you through a deep journey, where time loosens, and the boundary between sound and self begins to dissolve.
Each day follows a different theme:
Friday 07:30 - 00:00: Meditation on the Deep Sea
Saturday: 07:30 - 00:00 Meditation on the Cosmos
Sunday: 07:30 - 00:00 Meditation on Mother Earth.
At the centre of the ritual sits a Master Of Meditation, who sits and holds the silence throughout the day for 16,5 hours non-stop.
Presented in proud partnership with ADE, Addit Audio, BAISAŌ Tea, IsBurning, Monument, ORPHIC, Ratherlost, Resident Advisor, Sea~rène and Thomaskerk.

De Thomas has always been a place for reflection, spirituality and personal growth. Many people are attracted to the old biblical stories and how they reflect on life today. In this regard, culture, music and reflection have always been the Thomas church’s strength.

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.
