Amsterdam Dance Event Reveals Huge First Wave of Artists for 2025 Edition

Amsterdam Dance Event has released the first wave of programming, featuring over 250 artists, including Skepta, Black Coffee, Armin van Buuren, Boys Noize, and more.

The heat of the summer sun might be bearing down on much of the world, but Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) already has its sights set on the fall months. The world’s largest music conference will return from October 22 to 26, featuring over 1,000 events that will showcase more than 3,000 artists across 200 venues throughout the city over five days and nights. Plans have been made by many over the past few months as showcases and news surrounding experiences such as AMF have begun to emerge.

Today, the first wave of artists who are slated to perform during Amsterdam Dance Event were revealed. Among the over 250 acts are industry-leading artists like Armin van Buuren, Black Coffee, Boys Noize, Hardwell, John Summit, Mau P, Oliver Heldens, Skepta, James Hype, and Sara Landry. Other artists found in the overwhelming list to explore on the festival’s website include Argy, Monolink, Flava D, TOKiMONSTA, Clara Cuvé, Kettama, Ben Hemsley, Chippy Nonstop, and East End Dubs.

ADE Week will be filled to the brim with showcases that will surely make it a nightmare for anyone who hates deciding between shows, let alone sets at festivals. Those hunting for hard techno can bask in the glory of Verknipt or Klangkuenstler’s Outworld show at Ziggo Dome. House music lovers will flock to showcases from Eastenderz and elrow, while those craving subterranean grooves are sure to be found at Awakenings. There will be doses of trance from artists like Paul Van Dyk, and drum and bass will be prominently featured at Hospital Records‘ Hospitality showcase.

Check out the first wave lineup reveal to see if your favorite acts will be at ADE this year. Individual passes and ADE Pro passes are on sale now via the official website, with tiers moving quickly now that the list of acts has started to be unveiled.
