Jeff Mills, Indira Paganotto, Joseph Capriati, salute, and Anfisa Letyago appear on the Amsterdam Dance Event 2025 lineup.
Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) is slated to return to the capital of the Netherlands from October 22-26, and the citywide event’s organizers are going to great lengths to put it back on your radar. July saw them share a first wave lineup consisting of over 250 names, and with this week’s second wave announcement, the number sits at more than 1,200.
If you’re unfamiliar with ADE, you might be wondering how a single gathering could bill so many acts. It’s more a festival in the classic sense of the word than it is one of the multiple-stage events that the average EDM fan means when they utter it. Part conference, part club crawl, with exhibits and film showings added for good measure, it is projected to include over 1,000 separate events at more than 200 venues throughout Amsterdam.
The Amsterdam Dance Event 2025 second wave lineup features some of the most respected acts in house and techno. Among them are Detroit techno stalwart Jeff Mills, Russian superstar Anfisa Letyago, Italian big room techno titan Joseph Capriati, post-pandemic UK breakthrough act salute, and Spanish starlet Indira Paganotto.
But while ADE put this fairly specific cross-section of its lineup front and center in their announcement, the full gathering offers a great deal more variety. Trance fans will get to see artists like Orjan Nilsen, Estiva, and Ben Hemsley. Drum and bass lovers can catch DJ sets by the likes of Dimension, Sub Focus, and Culture Shock. And in this day and age, attendees would do well to leave any preconceived notions at the door and remain open to sounds outside their comfort zone.
