ADE Confirms In-Person Conference and Festival for 2021

The annual electronic music festival and conference, Amsterdam Dance Event, is gearing up to “celebrate the reopening of our scene” with the 25th-anniversary edition of the event — taking place in the Dutch capital from October 13th – 17th, 2021.

The announcement comes following the positive results of the Netherlands’ recent widespread vaccination campaign and rapid test capacity.

In the announcement, ADE confirms that various organizers and venues such as Awakenings, DGTL, Dockyard, elrow, Loveland, Audio Obscura, and more will be joining this year’s festivities with more following soon.

The initial program highlights have already even been announced, confirming performances from Dave Clarke, Oliver Heldens, Avalon Emerson, and Speedy J.

The 2021 in-person gathering comes after ADE’s online broadcast of the conference in 2020, which covered topics such as COVID 19’s massive impact on the electronic music scene, new opportunities for the live industry, labels, and artists, tackling sexual misconduct in the music industry, and more.
