AMF reveals dazzling lineup and fresh twist for 2026 edition
AMF 2026 has announced its return to Amsterdam with a stacked lineup led by Afrojack, Armin van Buuren, and David Guetta.
AMF is gearing up for its 2026 edition during Amsterdam Dance Event, returning to the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Oct. 24. The festival’s new lineup brings together Afrojack, Amelie Lens, Armin van Buuren, ARTBAT, D-Block & S-te-Fan, David Guetta, Korolova, and Marlon Hoffstadt, setting up one of ADE’s biggest draws.
The announcement keeps AMF in its familiar lane, but the bill still feels fresh. David Guetta will return with his Monolith concept, while Armin van Buuren, a longtime AMF favorite, is back after last year’s special edition. Afrojack’s return also carries extra weight, since it marks his first AMF appearance since 2019.
AMF has built its reputation on scale, and that remains part of the pitch. The event expects to welcome 40,000 fans into arguably the mega-venue during the Amsterdam Dance Event. This year’s edition also ties into a “30 Years of ADE” showcase, with a special production element still under wraps.
The lineup spans a wide range of dance styles, from melodic techno and underground-leaning sounds to hardstyle and mainstage energy. That variety gives the night a broader shape than a standard big-room showcase. It also fits AMF’s recent direction, which has leaned into more genre-crossing programming.
Tickets are already on sale, with multiple tiers available, including regular, VIP, VIP Premium, and early access options. The official AMF calendar also confirms the event is part of the iconic ADE week.
For Amsterdam’s dance fans, AMF 2026 is shaping up to be another feel-good, can’t-miss event. Undoubtedly, the mix of returning icons, newer names, and special production will make this one of the week’s most talked-about nights.

Having grown up just an earshot from Ultra Miami's venue Bayfront Park, it was next to impossible for me not to fall in love with electronic music. My love for music was evidently strong enough for me to write my college essay on festival culture and continue attending Ultra for 12 consecutive years (still counting). As an avid traveler, I'm definitely not afraid to hop on a plane for a music event. My current bucket list festivals right now are Tomorrowland in Belgium, Cercle Festival in France, Kappa Futur in Italy, and Sonus in Croatia. Though the list could go on forever, some of my favorite artists are Franky Wah, BICEP, Cassian, and Mochakk.
