Over 300 artists set to take on Amsterdam Dance Event in October

Amsterdam Dance Event has announced over 300 artists for the first phase of its lineup for the October festival.

The annual Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) revealed over 300 artists for October with a jam-packed first phase of artists. ADE will bring over 2,500 artists and 600 speakers in total, so this announcement is just the beginning.

The conference and festival will bring key industry leaders and artists to the Netherlands’ capital for five days. From October 16-20, Amsterdam Dance Event will take over the city with dance music events at over 200 locations.

This initial announcement contains just 10% of confirmed acts for ADE, and it is already stacked. So far, the lineup features an eclectic mix of global artists, all ranging in various types of genres.

Some of the first wave artists include legends like Seth Troxler, Martin Garrix, Boys Noize, Four Tet, Honey Dijon, Tiësto, and The Martinez Brothers. Breakout performers feature Peggy Gou, who is in her biggest year yet, and Barry Can’t Swim, who has been booked and busy this past year.

Frequent collaborators Skream and Benga also appear on the lineup. Together, they recently made a big comeback with a dual worldwide tour. However, Benga had visa issues, and dropped out of some USA tour dates, including Coachella.

Now, some party details for ADE are online, with Floating Points scheduled for the opening night party. This fall, expect “special concerts” from influential industry peers, including Awakenings, AMF, and Tomorrowland.

Each year, ADE delivers an organized and masterfully booked event full of shows, workshops, panels, and networking opportunities. With a music event this massive, it’s no telling what else is in store for ADE 2024.

Based on past years, fans can anticipate that the lineup will be elite. After all, Amsterdam Dance Event is one of the world’s best tastemakers for electronic dance music. For the full first-wave lineup and passes, check out the official ADE website.
