Paradiso presents their multi-faceted ADE 2024 lineup

Wednesday, 31 July 2024
Paradiso is a cornerstone of music culture for many in the Netherlands. From hosting Pink Floyd and Dutch folk bands to Surinamese dance events back in the day, the venue continues to welcome both famous figures and rising stars today. This spirit shines through in the venue’s ADE 2024 program, featuring dubstep club nights, adventurous live acts spanning jazz to afrobeat, and captivating multidisciplinary shows — just a taste of what Paradiso has in store this year.

Live improvisations, multi-instrumentalists, and electrifying club nights

Oi! presents Skream b2b Benga & more

'Wicked' would be the best way to describe Paradiso's kickoff on ADE Wednesday. The legendary dubstep party 'Oi!' celebrates its 20th anniversary with a reunion b2b set featuring Skream and Benga. Neffa-T, Brutuzz, Drew MC, and Oi! founder Gomes are joining them, promising a night packed with grime and bass-heavy sounds.

Barry Can't Swim & Bolis Pupul

Get ready for a thrilling switch-up on ADE Thursday as Barry Can't Swim and Bolis Pupul move from DJ decks to live instruments. These multi-instrumentalists are set to bring a colourful energy to the stage. Edinburgh's Barry Can't Swim, a vibrant voice in electronic music famous for blending house, afrobeat, and jazz, will showcase his skills on drums, guitar, piano, and flipping good old samples. Meanwhile, upstairs, Bolis Pupul, hailing from Gent, will captivate with his analog synthesisers, merging danceable rhythms with experimental sounds. Each with their unique take on electrifying sounds, they are set to get you footloose.
