Only the best of the best at Amsterdam Dance Event

If you are only the least bit interested in electronic music, you will have heard of the world’s biggest 5-day long annual dance party: the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE). Every year, in late October the biggest names in electronic music headline the Amsterdam Dance Event. In 2024, this not to miss event takes place from 16 to 20 October.

There are over 1000 events and uncountable artists at more than 200 clubs and venues attracting over 400,000 visitors annually to the Amsterdam Dance Event. It makes Amsterdam one of the busiest clubbing cities in the world. This music festival consists of both performances, showings and conferences.

In 2024, Amsterdam Dance Event is organized for the 29th time in the electronic music capital of the world. From the very beginning, Club Escape was part of the party and continues to be to this day. Other venues that were there at the start are Paradiso and Melkweg.

A lot of big names in the field of electronic music will be at ADE again this year, including Nicky Romero, Martin Garrix, Charlotte de Witte and Marlon Hoffstadt. Of course, there will also be up and coming artists that are not to be missed, such as Winson, Azyr, and many others.

With so many parties to choose from, it can be difficult to decide where to go. Some of the biggest parties are Awakenings, Tomorrowland and last but not least the Amsterdam Music Festival. Smaller parties, relatively speaking only, can be found at Club Panama, Paradiso and Melkweg.

ADE Pro is the leading business and inspiration music conference in the field of electronic music, which attracts thousands of delegates from all over the world. They come together at Amsterdam Dance Event to network, share their professional experience and do business.
