Is the Amsterdam Dance Event Worth it?

The Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), an initiative of Buma, has grown into the world’s largest and most influential club-based festival and conference for electronic music. The event continues to grow and develop each year, with last year’s edition featuring over 2,500 artists and 600 speakers in almost 200 venues.

The five-day event attracts visitors from over 146 countries and features every conceivable aspect of electronic music culture, with dedicated conference programming, an extensive arts & culture program, live music and DJ/artist performances, all spread across the city of Amsterdam.

It’s just under a month to Amsterdam Dance Event, I look at the big question is it worth it, what can you get from going and should you go to Amsterdam Dance Event? In this video, we will break down the key areas of ADE including when to go, what passes to get and how to plan your week!

The ADE Pro Pass grants access to the full conference program, alongside networking events, the ADE Festival program and more. Tickets for ADE 2023 are available through ADE’s website

Grahame Farmer’s love affair with electronic music goes back to the mid-90s when he first began to venture into the UK’s beloved rave culture, finding himself interlaced with some of the country’s most seminal club spaces. A trip to dance music’s anointed holy ground of Ibiza in 1997 then cemented his sense of purpose and laid the foundations for what was to come over the next few decades of his marriage to the music industry.
