A.D.E Returns in 2025 - Announcing a stellar first line-up for this year's event

A.D.E is a staple on the electronic music calendar once again

Once again, we start looking to the autumn months for what proves to be one of the best years for Amsterdam’s premiere clubbing and music industry experience. A.D.E is an absolute staple for any upcoming artists, labels, managers or event experiences – looking to gain an insight into the music industry, or indeed – just have a great time by the canal in the dam.. This initial announcement features over 250 names, signaling another massive edition of the event. Here’s how we see it going down..

Included in the first lineup drop are major acts like Black Coffee, Clara Cum, Hardwell, a personal favourite – Job Jobse, and Oliver Heldens, alongside a stellar range of underground powerhouses and global talents. Notable highlights include Irish club maestro and overal tiktok sensation Kettama, UK garage sensation Interplanetary Criminal, and grime icon Skepta, who will bring his house label Mas Tiempo to Shelter for a special showcase. Skepta will also appear as a speaker at the renowned ADE Pro conference, underlining his growing influence across the electronic music spectrum.

This year’s ADE promises to be another unforgettable weekend with over 100 events already confirmed. Highlights include a 4-hour marathon set by Job Jobse, Black Coffee and Klangkuenstler headlining at Ziggo Dome, and a special 20 Years of Dave Clarke Presents showcase.

With more than 3,000 artists and 200+ venues expected across five days, ADE 2025 will once again transform Amsterdam into the global capital of dance music. From cutting-edge club nights to forward-thinking panels and cultural programming, ADE offers something for everyone — as well as, if you time it right.. plenty of free drinks.

Tickets and the ADE Pro Pass are now available at amsterdam-dance-event.nl. Stay tuned for more announcements in the coming months.
