Defected
We are celebrating 25 years of Defected at the Amsterdam Dance Event!
WesterUnie is a raw, industrial nightclub situated on the grounds of the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam Westerpark, a former gasworks that is now a thriving cultural hotspot.
In collaboration with promising & worldwide respected event promoters the organization hosts large-scale house, techno, Hip-Hop & Eclectic events in their huge concrete halls.
In addition to its size (3 different rooms) it also has the advantage of a relatively central location and being surrounded by a beautiful park and plenty of cafés, bars and restaurants.

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.
ADE is proud partner of the Celebrate Safe campaign.
