Floating Points
Line-up
Floating Points
There seems to be nothing Sam Shepherd, better known as Floating Points, cannot do. The Londoner is blessed with excellent skills on the piano and behind the turntables, renowned for his forward-thinking DJ sets, but he has also earned his stripes as a genre-crossing producer. Since his first EP "Vacuum," a jazzy house record that remains popular in the DJ community 15 years later, he founded Eglo Records. The releases became increasingly musical, with highlights like 'Nuits Sonores' and 'People's Potential'. After forays into jazz, ambient, and electronica, the latest Floating Points release 'Del Oro' is once again a straight-up house banger. Perfect for the clubs and the upcoming festival summer. On Wednesday, October 16th, Floating Points will bring a special live set to Melkweg on the opening night of ADE 2024. Support by Ela Minus (DJ Set).
Melkweg stands for pop culture in the broadest sense of the word. Hundreds of concerts, club nights, (music) films, theatre performances, exhibitions and multidisciplinary events attract thousands of visitors annually.
Melkweg is located in the only remaining factory building on the Amsterdam canal belt: a former sugar and, later, milk factory. The historic building hosts two concert halls, a cinema, a multidisciplinary hall and an exhibition space.
In Melkweg, established names stand alongside new talent, and emerging trends are given the opportunity to reach a wide audience. The diversity in programming and audience, in combination with the different spaces and the special location, have made Melkweg a unique place for years.

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.
