Updated: Sep 24



The Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) 2024 once again promises to be a monumental experience for electronic music lovers, with a star-studded lineup and events spread throughout the city. Over the course of five days and nights, the festival will turn Amsterdam into a true musical playground, with more than 200 different venues hosting shows, parties, and immersive performances. Over 2,900 artists will be present, ensuring that the diversity of sounds and styles will be one of the hallmarks of this edition.


This is a unique opportunity to experience a festival that transcends the ordinary, offering music almost 24 hours a day, in an environment that breathes art and innovation. For those looking to secure their spot on the most sought-after dance floors, tickets are still available but selling out fast.


During ADE 2024, the city of Amsterdam transforms into an open-air stage, with surprise performances by renowned DJs popping up in unexpected places. It’s common for major electronic music stars to perform intimate sets in small restaurants, cafés, and even on the streets, providing the audience with unique moments. These spontaneous appearances ensure that the magic of the festival is present in every corner of the city, making the experience even more unforgettable for those lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.


In addition to conferences and business panels, where industry executives, producers, artists, and experts gather to discuss the future of electronic music and soundtrack purchases, ADE also stands out for its epic parties. One of this year's highlights is the famous Glitterbox, from Ibiza, known for celebrating the best of disco, house, and soul, with performances by Honey Dijon, Purple Disco Machine, and The Shapeshifters, bringing back the nostalgic atmosphere of the dance floors, but with a modern and vibrant twist.


Other events marking ADE 2024 include the legendary Awakenings, which once again will turn the iconic Gashouder into a techno mecca. With DJs like Amelie Lens, Adam Beyer, and Charlotte de Witte, Awakenings remains one of the most anticipated parties, known for its grand productions and heavy techno beats.


Another global event arriving in Amsterdam is Afterlife, bringing its immersive and visually impactful concept to the Ziggo Dome, with founders Tale of Us leading a lineup filled with unique audiovisual performances. Afterlife is known for its deep sonic narratives and hypnotic atmospheres, making it one of the most awaited events for fans of melodic techno.


In ADE’s history, unforgettable parties like Elrow and Loveland have already left their mark with eccentric productions and vibrant themes, and the 2024 edition is expected to continue raising the bar. Paradiso, Shelter and other iconic musical institutions around the city will host parties and performances, with lineups guaranteed to please every taste, from deep house to hard techno.



ADE 2024 promises to be not just a marathon of electronic music but a complete sensory experience that combines the biggest names in the genre with emerging talents, all spread across Amsterdam's iconic and unique settings. This historic edition reaffirms ADE's role as the global epicenter of electronic music, where every corner of the city pulses with the festival’s vibrant energy. See you on the dance floor!
