Connectivity and togetherness through music: written words, good wines and digital movements
If there’s one thing that Dennis de Groot (Okaysoundsgreat, MOOVMNT) and Mr Redley (Black Wine Club, Rinse FM) have in common, it’s their great skill for building communities and finding creative ways for (black) music lovers and artists to get in touch. Whether involvement with music platforms that provide an accessible way to get to know new works and like-minded heads, ways to make artists feel most comfortable on tour or combining passions in gastronomy with culture and arts. In times of polarisation, societal upheaval, inflation and systemic oppression, connectivity and togetherness are more than ever needed. That’s why, together with our audience, we are going to ask our guests of tonight for experiences, troubles, solutions and future approaches for community building and their ways of dealing with the ever-changing musical culture and landscape from time to time.

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.
