Amsterdam Dance Event 2026
Five days and 200+ venues: the world's biggest electronic music gathering turns 30.
About Amsterdam Dance Event 2026
The Amsterdam Dance Event returns for its 30th edition on 21-25 October 2026. ADE is the world's largest club festival and electronic music conference: more than 1,000 events spread over 200+ venues, from the city's superclubs to churches, theatres, and warehouses.
By day, the ADE Pro conference draws the industry - labels, agents, and artists - while the festival program runs from morning coffee sessions to club marathons that end well after sunrise. Virtually every big name in electronic music plays somewhere in the city during the five days.
ADE is Amsterdam's busiest hotel week of the year, and rooms in the centre sell out far in advance. Staying anywhere near a metro or tram line works well - night services run during ADE - and the canal belt keeps you walking distance from many daytime venues.
