That rare ADE jewel, a full-length, multi-stage, daytime festival, Dockyard Warehouse Festival is already placed high on the list of must-have tickets for this year’s annual dance music conference. That position is set to rocket thanks to today’s confirmation of Artcore Records boss Indira Paganotto, whose name is added to an already stacked HE.SHE.THEY. stage.
Paganotto’s reputation for delivering eclectic sets that run from 90’s disco through to the latest underground techno and psy-trance IDs has made her one of the planet’s most in-demand artists.
Her set at Dockyard Warehouse Festival sees her take to the stage alongside Cera Khin, Chippy Nonstop, Dax J b2b SPFDJ, SNTS and Wax Wings, a forward-thinking line-up that is proving the hallmark of Dockyard’s Hembrugterrein-based Warehouse edition.
“I’m so happy to be on the Dockyard Warehouse Festival line-up during ADE this year,” said Paganotto.“ It’s something new and very exciting since I’ve never played at Dockyard before and this iconic location. So I have a very special set in mind, it will be massive. I will see you there, let’s go my warriors!”
Dockyard today also announced a brand new media partnership for 2024 with legendary dance music radio station Ibiza Sonica, who will be bringing their radio studio on site for the very first time. Streaming sets to a vast global audience and speaking to some of the festival’s brightest stars, the partnership promises to put Dockyard Warehouse Festival on the international map.
“This is the first time Ibiza Sonica has joined forces with Dockyard Warehouse Festival,” said Patricia Nespereira, Ibiza Sonica’s Head of Marketing.
“We will have our own open space within the festival where we’ll broadcast live for three hours, inviting artists from the line-up to show their music and chat. We’ll bring the essence of the festival and techno culture to fans all around the world who can’t experience it in person, with our presenters giving listeners highlights of this very special 10th anniversary celebration of Dockyard at ADE.”
Other highlights across the four stages of Dockyard Warehouse Festival include a head-to-head between DANZA TRIBALE boss ADIEL and Vault Sessions resident Grace Dahl, and Britain’s Dax J against underground queen SPFDJ.
Ukrainian superstars ARTBAT bring the uncompromising visuals of their ARTBAT pres. UPPERGROUND show, as well as Danish house legend Kölsch. On the Warehouse and Laboratory stages some of the most exciting new talent from across the techno sphere lines up to show ADE what the future of the genre holds: Effy, DJ Gigola, Partyboi69, Moody Mehran, Emily Nash, LB aka LABAT, Colin Benders, Noah Leveye, A/DRFT, Fadi Mohem, The Lady Machine, Phara, and Stranger.
It’s hard to stand out at ADE, with the majority of the world’s biggest artists landing en masse, but by giving the immense space of Hembrugterrein over to the next generation of techno stars Dockyard Warehouse Festival has carved itself out a completely unique niche that no other event is offering.
