The anniversary edition also features the 30 YEARS ADE Icon Series, a selection of 30 events reflecting on the history and future of electronic music culture.

French electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre joins ADE as Guest of Honour, marking the 50th anniversary of his album “Oxygene” with a performance at AFAS Live, alongside a keynote interview at ADE Pro. The conference will also feature discussions on the evolution of the industry, music technology and the future of nightlife.

ADE Arts & Culture extends the program into museums, churches, cultural institutions and other spaces across Amsterdam, with audiovisual performances, exhibitions and collaborations between artists and cultural organisations.

First held in 1996, ADE has grown into a major international meeting point for electronic music, combining a festival program with professional networking, conferences and cultural initiatives.
