The Amsterdam Dance Event organisation, in collaboration with Amsterdam’s clubs and festival organisers, has confirmed over 350 Festival and Arts & Culture events in 140+ locations since the decision to move forward with its programming last month.
With less than one week to go, ADE has completed its full program of daytime events, taking place from October 13th through 17th. The city’s venues and organisers have shown remarkable resilience in making this achievement possible, and the organisation is looking forward to welcoming thousands of electronic music enthusiasts to Amsterdam.
Among the confirmed artists are Animistic Beliefs, Armin van Buuren, Charlotte de Witte, Disclosure, Don Diablo, DJ Pierre, Elena Colombi, Hunee, Jeff Mills, Job Jobse, KI/KI, Luke Slater, Maya Jane Coles, Nina Kraviz, Paul Kalkbrenner, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, Todd Terry, an ADE Special live concert by Weval x Metropole Orkest and many others.

ADE in Conversation
Although ADE’s business conference has been cancelled, the organisation will be hosting a special edition of its ADE in Conversation show on Thursday, October 14th, starting at 5:30 PM CET.
The free online event will be streaming live from a cutting-edge mixed reality environment, as part of an innovation showcase in collaboration with Felix Meritis and Ravel. The organisation invites both a physical and virtual audience to be present simultaneously and interact with the speakers during the live panel: Jon Vlassopolus (Global Head of Music, Roblox) and Oana Ruxandra (Chief Digital Officer, Warner Music Group) will dive into the opportunities in the virtual domain for music and entertainment.
In addition, intergenerational visionaries DJ Pierre and Colin Benders join the show, demonstrating live on stage how DJ Pierre invented the sound of Acid House, discussing modern innovations in electronic music and even diving into possible futures.
