The
ADE is traditionally the time of the year at which the internationally
vibrant dance scene alights in every corner of Amsterdam. With an extra
day and fifteen new venues, the capital city is now even more
emphatically at the center of this economically and culturally
influential music. New venues that have been added to the exhaustive
list of festival locations at ADE include old and new gems of the city
such as the Ziggo Dome, de Gashouder (Westergasfabriek), Het
Concertgebouw, Het Sieraad, North Sea Jazz Club , Stanislavski
(Stadsschouwburg), the Amsterdam Studios and the Convention Factory.
The
ADE is an ever-growing global platform for the dance scene. For
visitors worldwide, the festival has become the place to spot
developments in the dance scene: from the latest musical trends and
emerging talents to the most recent work of the pioneers and superstars.
At night, the capital of the Netherlands becomes the scene of the
biggest club festival in the world, where at 65 locations and at least
350 different club nights visitors can dance to the most diverse
electronic music of all the major names in the genre.
In
seventeen years, the ADE has grown into an extensive and leading
platform in which all facets of electronic music culture are discussed.
The business part of the event is widely regarded as the most important
of its kind and offers a day program at six different locations on a
wide range of conferences and networking opportunities that focus on
music and technology, VJs & visuals, harder dance styles, new talent
and education of students. The essential function of the ADE is to be
the main network place in the world for this economically and culturally
thriving sector. The plans, contacts and projects created during the
ADE, dominate that the global dance scene in the year to follow.
An
important addition to this years program is the ADE Playground. This
program offers visitors to the festival a huge range of activities
during the day such as exhibitions, shop promotions, pop-up stores and
film screenings taking place at many locations in the city. The
Amsterdam Dance Event thereby underlines the ambition of the festival to
present visitors from around the world a broad, exciting and productive
program during the five days that our capital is the center of the
international pop culture.
The ADE will take place from 17 to 21 October and is organized by Amsterdam Dance Event Foundation, an initiative of Buma.
