Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) has announced a second wave of lineup additions for its 30th anniversary edition, running October 21-25, 2026. According to the announcement, more than 1,500 artists and DJs have now been confirmed, with the final lineup expected to include over 3,300 acts across more than 200 venues in Amsterdam. New additions include Âme, Eric Prydz, Ben Klock, Maceo Plex, Paul Kalkbrenner, Todd Terry and Scooter, alongside programming that blends club culture with art installations, including a Boris Acket installation, a Het Nationale Ballet and ISH collaboration on “Swan Lake Remixed,” and an immersive 4DSOUND experience at the new ARTIS Aquarium.
The event’s ADE Pro Conference will feature Jean-Michel Jarre and Lady Starlight, Marcel Dettmann and Luciano, and Tinie Tempah, along with sessions covering AI’s impact on the music industry featuring speakers from Google DeepMind, SoundCloud, Believe and Warner Music. The conference will also host a panel marking 30 years of ADE with figures involved in the event’s history, and the return of the ADE Startups program, which the organizers say has selected eight music-tech companies for its Chorus founder program.
Additional lineup reveals come from ADE promoters including Awakenings, which is presenting eight shows at SugarFactory, and Audio Obscura, which has revealed more than 40 artists across multiple events.
