Amsterdam Dance Event is built on overload.
There are showcases, panels, backroom deals, club nights, brand activations, artist meetups, after-hours runs, and more reasons to stay out too late than any one person can handle. Inside that sprawl, the events with a real reason behind them tend to cut through faster.
DJ Bone presents FURTHER x Homeless Homies 2026 has that reason.
The event returns Friday, October 23 at RADION.Amsterdam during the 30th ADE, running from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. with a lineup of artists donating their time to support Homeless Homies, the charity drive DJ Bone and Ahnne Araza-Dulan have been building since 2002. All ticket sales and a portion of the bar will go to international Homeless Homies charity partners, with a silent auction also planned.
That is the part that gives this one a different energy from a standard ADE lineup announcement. The roster is stacked, but the booking power is being pointed toward something concrete.
“We’re continually overwhelmed by the support for these events,” DJ Bone says. “It’s great to see so many artists and attendees selflessly donating their time or money to help others.”
The lineup reads like a proper ADE day-to-night run
The 2026 edition pulls from several corners of techno, house, electro, breaks, and club music.
The A-Z lineup includes Alan Fitzpatrick, Anja Schneider, Anz, Billy Nasty, Daiyah, Dan Shake, Dean Muhsin, Dennis Free, DJ Bone, DJ Godfather, DJ Mell G, Doc Ciroc, Dubfire, Eats Everything, Estella Boersma, FJAAK, Gaiser (live), GiGi FM, Helena Hauff, Hilit Kolet, Hutch, Jeremy, Jyoty, Kevin Saunderson, Laure Croft, Ludmila Di Pasquale, Matrixxman, Michael’s Dream, Mötas, Remco Beekwilder, Remi, Scuba, Sherelle, Sloppy Spice, SOFTCHAOS, Will Clarke, Yeti Mind Tricks, and Zack Fox.
That is not a narrow bill. It has Detroit weight, UK pressure, German hardware energy, festival names, proper heads, and DJs who know how to keep a daytime event from feeling like a warmup.
The key names will grab attention first: Helena Hauff, Sherelle, Dubfire, Eats Everything, FJAAK, Scuba, DJ Godfather, Dan Shake, Kevin Saunderson, and DJ Bone himself. But the scale of the full lineup is the better story. A charity event only works at this level when artists actually show up for it, and this lineup shows real buy-in.
DJ Bone has earned this kind of trust
DJ Bone has always carried a different kind of authority in techno.
It is not only the Detroit connection or the technical reputation. It is the way he has kept ethics, independence, and function close to the music itself. Homeless Homies started in 2002, with Bone and Ahnne initially funding the effort from music and merch income before expanding into annual events.
That history matters because charity events can feel thin when they appear only as a branding layer. This one has been part of DJ Bone’s work for years. The event is not borrowing a cause for credibility. The cause is the reason the event exists.
I’d point anyone who wants a wider DJ Bone context toward our earlier piece on DJ Bone joining the Re remix project, which placed him next to other major names reshaping Kevin Saunderson’s E-Dancer material. That same Detroit lineage is part of the 2026 FURTHER x Homeless Homies bill too, with Saunderson also listed for RADION.
RADION is the right room for the idea
RADION.Amsterdam makes sense for an eleven-hour ADE fundraiser.
The room has the industrial edge and extended-event feel needed for a lineup this dense, especially during a week when audience attention is pulled in every direction. A shorter showcase might get swallowed by ADE’s pace. An 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. event gives people a real block of time to enter, stay, leave, return, and treat the fundraiser as its own destination.
That timing also keeps the event from competing only with late-night club slots. It becomes a daytime and early-evening anchor inside the ADE week, which helps the charity angle feel more present. People are not only buying a ticket to squeeze another party onto the calendar. They are choosing to put part of their ADE day behind the cause.
For anyone tracking the wider 2026 ADE buildout, this arrives alongside the larger 30th anniversary year. Our earlier article on ADE Pro’s 2026 conference expansion covered how the anniversary is widening the week’s industry and cultural scope. FURTHER x Homeless Homies adds a sharper social purpose to that calendar.
The silent auction adds another way to support
A silent auction will also run as part of the 2026 edition, with all proceeds going to international Homeless Homies charity partners.
Details are still to be announced, but that piece gives the event another layer beyond ticketing and bar revenue. For an ADE crowd full of labels, artists, collectors, gear people, and industry attendees, a well-built auction can raise money from people who may want to support the cause even if they cannot stay for the full event.
DJ Bone’s socials will carry updates as auction details come together.
That part is worth watching because it can turn the fundraiser into something wider than the room itself. The best charity events do not end when the last set finishes. They give people several ways to contribute, and the auction creates another path for that.
Tickets are live now
DJ Bone presents FURTHER x Homeless Homies 2026 takes place Friday, October 23 at RADION.Amsterdam from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Tickets are available now via RADION.
For an ADE week that will have no shortage of major lineups, this one has a clearer reason to be on the list. The artists are donating their time, the ticket revenue is pointed toward Homeless Homies charity partners, and the lineup still has enough force to compete with anything else happening that day.
That combination is rare. A serious party. A real cause. A room full of artists giving the day away to help people who need it.
