Amsterdam Dance Event marks its 30th anniversary from 21 to 25 October 2026, bringing together artists, industry professionals and audiences across more than 300 locations.

ADE’s October programme announcement listed over 3,600 artists across the festival, conference and arts-and-culture events. It has become a major meeting place for electronic music’s different scenes and the businesses behind them.

One area DOGON is watching is how African artists, labels and promoters participate beyond isolated headline slots—through programming, collaborations, industry discussion and sustained international relationships.
