Melkweg RADAR x ADE
Melkweg RADAR x ADE
Melkweg's monthly discovery program returns with a special ADE edition. On Thursday 17 October, we welcome a line-up of authentic artists of multiple genres, incorporating electronic sounds to each their own.
LINE-UP
Vieze Meisje / De Witte Kunst / Klankspoor
Vieze Meisje
Vieze Meisje (Dutch for Dirty Girl) is the singing, performing and all-encompassing second self of mortal Maya Mertens. Her quirky poetry is at times heartwarmingly honest, at other times hilariously funny and, at times, brutally elegant. With acrobatic beats, loops and sounds that turn any deconstructive dance party into well-sounding chaos. Once you have heard and/or seen Vieze Meisje, you are forever part of life's Dirty Circle.
De Witte Kunst
De Witte Kunst is a Dutch music group consisting of multi-instrumentalist Lyckle de Jong and writer/singer Koen van Bommel. Their songs are about dreams of a better world, the fear of being touched and how to actually create a place for yourself in this chaotic world. The result is a manifesto that raises rather than answers questions, while the listener may well find themselves in a state of confusion. Duly noted!
Klankspoor
Klankspoor is a modular techno project by drummer Quinten de Jongh (The Hague). Using modular synthesis, and inspired by artists such as Florian Meindl, Julia Bondar and Robthebloke, Klankspoor's music includes deep bass lines, rhythmic patterns and evolving melodies. Each performance focuses on a unique experience for the audience, playing everything live without any pre-programming.
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.
ADE is proud partner of the Celebrate Safe campaign.
