Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), the world’s largest electronic music festival and industry gathering, has unveiled the first wave of over 250 confirmed artists for its 2025 edition.
With over 100 ADE Festival events already announced, ADE 2025 promises to deliver yet another extraordinary five-day experience from October 22–26, transforming Amsterdam into the global capital of electronic music once again.
Among the most anticipated moments of this first announcement, Skepta stands out as a key figure to watch: the UK grime pioneer will bring his house label Mas Tiempo to the Shelter club, and will also take part in the ADE Pro conference, underlining his growing role as a cross-genre innovator.
Meanwhile, Black Coffee and Klangkuenstler are each set to headline solo shows at the Ziggo Dome, offering large-scale performances that reflect their global status in the electronic scene.
