ADE 2025 brings music to unique venues: De Nieuwe Kerk hosts Honey Dijon with the ZO! Gospel Choir, the ARTIS Planetarium offers immersive dome shows, and Fabrique des Lumières features multisensory performances. The week opens with six simultaneous events across the city, promising a legendary start.

The ADE Pro Conference presents talks and panels with Skepta x Más Tiempo, Armin van Buuren, Luke Slater x Chris Liebing, Eris Drew x Modeselektor, and Scuba. Additional programs include ADE Green (sustainability), ADE Beats (urban and hip hop), and ADE Lab, supporting new talent.

Coinciding with Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary, ADE 2025 becomes part of the city’s celebrations. Highlights include the Amsterdam Music Festival (AMF) at the Johan Cruijff ArenA, featuring Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, KI/KI, Sara Landry, and the live debut of AfroSalto.

ADE 2025 promises to be the most ambitious edition yet—an immersive celebration of music, culture, and the future of electronic sound.
