Known worldwide as the most important annual event in the electronic music industry, this year’s ADE features a spectacular initial wave of talent. Performing at this year’s edition are artists such as Dave Clarke, FUNK TRIBU, Hardwell, John Summit, and Black Coffee. A first wave that outmatches 99.9% of the world’s festivals, this is just one of the many reasons the Amsterdam Dance Event remains king in 2025, almost 30 years after its foundation.
The biggest DJs and producers inside the global and national industries of most countries that have an electronic music scene are all set to fly to Amsterdam at the beginning of October. Promoters, sponsors, and hundreds of other characters all come together to kidnap Amsterdam and take it down the electronic music’s rabbit hole.
The announcement was made by ADE with both a spectacular video and an Instagram post that includes the name of every artist included in this first wave. You can check out the video here:
So, who’s coming to ADE 2025?

Certainly, a can’t-miss gathering for the heads of today’s industry. This is an event like no other. For 5 days, the streets of Amsterdam become those of a country ruled by electronic music.
If you have the chance to go, you’ll be amazed beyond words. Restaurants, bakeries, and even clothing shops will become clubs. The best DJs in the world can be found at every corner. The place to network, meet people, and say hello to our industry, letting them know you’re here in the process.
