Amsterdam Dance Event Announces First Wave of Artists for 30th-Anniversary Edition

Amsterdam Dance Event has announced the first wave of artist programming for its 30th anniversary edition, returning October 21–25, 2026.

Among the 250-plus acts confirmed for 30 YEARS ADE are Adam Beyer, Amelie Lens, Chloé Caillet, Fumi, Sammy Virji, Skepta, The Martinez Brothers, Tinlicker, and more. Altogether, the reveal comprises about 8% of the more than 3,000 artists set to take part in the annual gathering, with events touching down at over 200 venues across Amsterdam. The full lineup is available on ADE’s website.

Early highlights include the return of Skepta’s newly expanded Más Tiempo show at Warehouse Elementenstraat and David Guetta’s Monolith concept at AMF. After closing for renovations last January, Gashouder will give attendees a first look at its upgrades through a series of pre-opening events ahead of its grand reopening in November. Several shows are already currently confirmed: Armin van Buuren and Benwal, I Hate Models and Nico Moreno, Job Jobse, Mochakk, Franky Rizardo, Sammy Virji, and Josh Baker.

Elsewhere, MOJO will host a pair of KI/KI 5 Hours shows along with several other outings, ranging from Klangkuenstler’s OUTWORLD at the Ziggo Dome, a special 10 Years of STMPD RCRDS celebration, and Unreal Germany at AFAS Live. The promoter will also present the festival’s opening concert, “Oxygène & Beyond: A Sonic Journey Celebrating 30 Years of ADE,” at AFAS Live featuring 30 YEARS ADE special guest of honor Jean-Michel Jarre in partnership with Insomniac. The performance commemorates the 50th anniversary of Jarre’s iconic album Oxygène.

Other promoters, such as Intercell, DGTL, and Into the Woods, continue to unveil 2026 lineups for one of the largest events on the global dance/electronic calendar. 

Tickets to 30 YEARS ADE, including the Pro Pass (which provides access to the conference) are available on ADE’s website.
