Amsterdam Dance Event has completed the program for its 30th anniversary edition, running October 21-25. The event says the full schedule now includes more than 3,600 artists across over 1,300 events at 300-plus venues throughout Amsterdam, spanning its festival, ADE Pro conference and Arts & Culture programming.
Final additions to the artist lineup include Armand Van Helden, Boys Noize, Charlotte Adigéry, Jamie Jones, Martin Garrix, Pete Tong and SHERELLE, among others. The anniversary edition centers on a 30 YEARS ADE Icon Series comprising thirty events reflecting on electronic music’s history, with Jean-Michel Jarre serving as guest of honour, including an appearance tied to the 50th anniversary of his album ‘Oxygene.’
The ADE Pro conference has added sessions featuring executives and programming from Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube Music, NVIDIA, Warner Music, Sony Music and Universal, along with panels examining ADE’s 30-year history and the future of nightlife, including a Nighttime Culture Index produced with VibeLab. The Arts & Culture strand extends into museums, churches and record stores around the city, with contributions from artists including Thomas Azier and Colin Benders.
