Brighter Days

Brighter Days are here! Join us for our next ADE party with an absolute dream line-up.

With great pleasure and honour, we welcome New York legend Joe Claussell. With over three decades of shaping and defining the very essence of dance music, it’s a true joy to have him at our Brighter Days party. From listening to his timeless productions—many of which have become BD classics—to experiencing his transcendental DJ sets, the sheer joy and impact Joe Claussell has brought to our journey is beyond measure.

Alongside, Kamma & Masalo will be experiencing another full circle moment as they invite longtime friends Wendel Sield and DJ Westfa, renowned for their Our Society parties—a true staple in Amsterdam’s deep and soulful dance community.

In the second room, Budino will make her much-anticipated return to Amsterdam, delivering her signature sets filled with glorious psychedelic tapestries, dark trance-inducing beats and rich cosmic textures. Dutch local and masterful producer Luca dell’Orso will bring his bag of Italo-wave-electro gems, setting the tone for a night of pure sonic exploration.

Shelter Amsterdam will be our space for celebration and creative freedom. Fully equipped with stacks of crystal-clear sound for a warm and euphoric dance experience till the early morning. We’re bringing our friends from Klank en Kleur for their signature stage design to make it even more next level.

Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.

Please double-check the promoter's or venue's website to be sure you can access the event!

Yes, the Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events. Even if a festival event is sold out, you can still access the event with your ADE Pro Pass wristband. During ADE there are over 500 festival events and hundreds more cultural and conference events you can enter with the wristband. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for ADE Pro wristband holders. This means that, for some of the more crowded events, you have to arrive early to ensure attendance. Once capacity is reached, ADE Pro holders will be let into the event on a one in-one-out basis.

We dance together, so please be mindful of yourself and each other. We expect an open attitude from our visitors towards other guests, regardless of their origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion and age. If you see or experience any unwanted attention, harassment or behavior of any kind that makes you uncomfortable, please speak out and notify staff.

Please keep in mind: we love being your annual host, therefore, we would like to ask you to enjoy yourself responsibly.
