The main Amsterdam Dance Event 2026 festival runs across five days in Amsterdam, with the ADE Pro conference running October 21–24.
Are ADE Amsterdam tickets on sale?
Some anchor events, not the full city program
This page separates live ticket drops, pre-sales, sold-out shows, and series that are still waiting on a public sale page.
Is the ADE 2026 lineup out?
Only a small early wave is named
Headline artists like Jean-Michel Jarre, KI/KI, and David Guetta are public, but most ADE venue-series lineups are still TBA.
When do ADE 2026 tickets go on sale?
