Music On Festival 2025

Every October, the city of Amsterdam transforms. Its canals and historic streets become the backdrop for the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), the world's most significant and comprehensive gathering for electronic music culture and its industry. For five days, the Dutch capital pulses with the energy of hundreds of thousands of international visitors – a mix of artists, industry professionals, and passionate fans. ADE is a unique hybrid: simultaneously the planet's largest club-based festival, featuring over 2,500 artists across 1,000+ events in around 200 venues, and the leading conference for the electronic music business. It's the essential meeting point where creativity, culture, and commerce converge.

The journey of ADE mirrors the evolution of electronic music itself. It began modestly in 1996 as a three-day conference focused primarily on the business side of a rapidly growing scene. Conceived by industry figures and the Dutch music rights organization Buma/Stemra, the initial event hosted around 300 delegates and featured about 30 DJs in a few key Amsterdam clubs like 

. From these humble origins, ADE experienced exponential growth, expanding its duration to five days and nights and seeing attendance figures soar past 400,000, even reaching 500,000 in recent years. This remarkable expansion earned it recognition as one of the world's fastest-growing festivals based on attendance increase since its inception.

This growth wasn't just in numbers; ADE's scope broadened significantly. While the ADE Pro conference remains its vital professional core, the event evolved to embrace music lovers and the wider public. It added components like ADE Lab (formerly part of ADE Playground), offering workshops, masterclasses, and tech showcases for aspiring creators, and the Arts & Culture program, featuring film screenings, art installations, and unique performances in unconventional spaces like the Rijksmuseum. Specialized tracks like ADE Green (focusing on sustainability) and ADE Tech further deepened its relevance.

The ADE experience is built on distinct yet interconnected pillars. ADE Pro is the definitive global business platform, where industry leaders from labels, agencies, tech companies (like Spotify, TikTok, Google), and more gather for networking, deal-making, and discussions shaping the future. Keynotes, panels, and workshops cover everything from market trends and technology to sustainability and mental health.

Running parallel is the ADE Festival, a city-wide musical marathon showcasing the entire spectrum of electronic music - from house and techno to EDM, trance, drum & bass, and beyond. Legendary clubs, massive arenas like the Johan Cruijff Arena (home to the Amsterdam Music Festival - AMF), and intimate, unique venues host performances by global superstars (like 

ADE Lab and the Arts & Culture program serve as the creative incubator, connecting aspiring artists with established professionals through masterclasses (featuring artists like 

), demo drops, gear showcases, and cultural events. This focus on talent development ensures a pipeline for the industry's future.

Ultimately, ADE functions as the indispensable global nexus for the electronic music world. It's where the industry sets its agenda, where trends are born, where deals are struck, and where the global community connects. Its influence extends beyond business, enabling cultural exchange and providing a platform to address critical issues like diversity, inclusion, and climate justice within the scene. By transforming Amsterdam into the world's electronic music capital for five days each year, ADE not only reflects the state of the genre but actively shapes its future, maintaining its status as the heartbeat of the international electronic music community.
