The Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) is the gateway to the international electronic music scene. As Europe's leading electronic music conference and the world's biggest club festival, it's a true dance lovers' Mecca.
ADE always brings in the crowds with established names on the line-up alongside rising stars (who take to the decks as part of ADE NEXT). The playlist is always suitably diverse, featuring electro, acid, techno, trance, house, hip-hop, drum 'n' bass and other beat-filled sounds to make you move.
This annual event attracts 2,500 business professionals and 112,000 festival visitors from all around the globe to dance to the tune of more than 700 DJs and artists. With this year's programme resembling a who's-who and who's-that of dance floor royalty, 2012 looks set to rewrite the rules on bringing down the house.
ADE presents music lovers with four days of the absolute world top of dance music artists.
