With less than two months to go, Amsterdam Dance Event 2026 is seriously starting to take shape. The latest wave adds Âme, Ben Klock, CARISTA, DJ Stingray 313, Eric Prydz, HAAi, Hunee, Kittin & The Hacker, Maceo Plex, Max Cooper, Miss Monique, Narciss, Paul Kalkbrenner, Scooter and Todd Terry, among many others.
They join an already extensive selection featuring names including DJ Snake, DVS1, Donato Dozzy, Kerri Chandler, MARRØN, Partiboi69, Rødhåd, Seth Troxler and tINI.
For its anniversary edition, ADE is also continuing to expand far beyond traditional club programming. Het Nationale Ballet and ISH will open the event with Swan Lake Remixed for ADE, while ARTIS Planetarium, Fabrique des Lumières and even the new ARTIS Aquarium will host a series of audiovisual and immersive experiences.

The iconic Gashouder will welcome shows including Eric Prydz, Job Jobse and MOCHAKK CALLING, while Paul Kalkbrenner will bring his live show to Theater Amsterdam and Scooter will take over Ziggo Dome with SCOOTER CRUSHES ADE.
The ADE Pro Conference is also growing, with Jean-Michel Jarre, Marcel Dettmann, Luciano, Nastia, Sofia Kourtesis and Tinie Tempah among the speakers and artists involved. Artificial intelligence will unsurprisingly be part of the conversation too, with an Artists on AI: No-BS Roundtable featuring Boys Noize, BT, Dave Clarke, Mathame and Portrait XO, alongside a Google DeepMind session exploring the future of music in the AI era.
Several major promoters have also started revealing their programmes. Awakenings has announced eight events, SPIELRAUM is preparing a 55-hour programme at Club RAUM, while Audio Obscura has confirmed more than 40 artists across multiple events.
ADE 2026 is ultimately expected to bring together more than 3,300 artists across over 200 venues throughout Amsterdam. With more than 1,500 names already confirmed, the festival and conference has not even reached the halfway point of its final lineup.
