Amsterdam Dance Event 2026 Quick Guide
What is ADE?
ADE combines a five-day electronic music festival across 200+ venues with the daytime ADE Pro conference and ADE Lab masterclasses.
Most club nights and warehouse parties sell individual tickets through the venue or organizer. The ADE Pro Pass covers daytime conference panels and select festival access.
Cluster venues by geographic district (e.g. West: Gashouder + Mediahaven + RAUM, or Noord: Shelter + Madam). Allow 30–45 mins transit between quarters at night.
Added Club RAUM 55-hour marathon schedule and Intercell Bajes day/night sessions.
SugarFactory sessions held back because SugarCity is located in Halfweg outside Amsterdam municipality.

Frequently Asked Questions: ADE 2026
When is Amsterdam Dance Event 2026?
ADE Festival 2026 runs from Wednesday 21 October through Sunday 25 October 2026. The ADE Pro conference runs Wednesday 21 through Saturday 24 October 2026 at Felix Meritis and nearby canal-ring venues.
Do I need an ADE Pro Pass or individual event tickets?
For clubbing and music events, individual event tickets purchased directly through the venue or organizer are standard and most cost-effective. The ADE Pro Pass is primarily designed for industry delegates, artists, managers, and conference attendees.
How do I avoid ticket scams during ADE?
Only buy through official ticketing partners (Paylogic, Fourvenues, Eventix, See Tickets, or Ticketmaster) linked directly from official ADE or venue pages. For sold-out shows, use verified resale platforms like TicketSwap with SecureSwap verification.
How does public transit run during ADE nights?
GVB runs night buses (N81–N94) every 30 minutes after regular metro and tram services stop around 00:30. Free GVB passenger ferries across the IJ to Noord and NDSM run 24/7. OVpay allows contactless tap-in with your credit or debit card.
Amsterdam Nightlife & Travel Guides
Make the most of ADE week with our resident-written local guides:
Amsterdam Dance Event 2026 runs from Wednesday 21 October through Sunday 25 October. The planner above tracks independently verified Amsterdam events, lineups, times, venues, and ticket links — filter the ADE 2026 programme by day or genre, save a personal shortlist, flag overlapping sets, and export the result straight to your calendar. Generic festival containers and specific ticketed parties are labelled separately, so you always know what a listing actually gets you, and ticket status (on sale, pre-sale, sold out) is checked against the source.
Coming in from outside the city? Sort your route between venues with the transportation guide — night buses run hourly after the trams stop — and see how ADE fits the wider year in our Amsterdam events calendar.
