ADE announced this year’s series of standout ADE Opening Concerts, with Nick Verstand’s brand new visual spectacle, Eefje de Visser with a unique performance at Van Gogh Museum, Greetje Bijma x Oceanic at Bimhuis, Metropole Orkest’s tribute to J Dilla at Melkweg, and Lavinia Meijer x Nikki Hock at Zuiderkerk. Other highlights of the program so far include Tomorrowland presenting two Afterlife shows plus their 20-year anniversary at Ziggo Dome, KI/KI returning to De Bajes – Amsterdam’s former prison space – after last year’s surprise back-to-back with Armin van Buuren, plus other special venues such as the Royal Tropical Institute, De Hollandsche Manege, and Stenen Hoofd.

Several artists will also be making their appearances at the ADE Pro conference, including Martin Garrix, Mau P, Indira Paganotto, Ellen Allien, Chris Stussy, Sama’ Abdulhadi, Sara Landry, and Miss Monique. They will discuss topics such as touring and live events, the club scenes in key territories, reinventing yourself as an artist, and more.
