THE COUNTDOWN TO ADE IS ON
The world’s biggest celebration of electronic music is back next week.
The world’s biggest celebration of electronic music, Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), has completed its ADE Pro 2025 program, and it’s stacked. We're excited to be there on the ground next week.
Running 22–26th October 2025, the annual takeover of Amsterdam brings together artists, labels, tech giants and tastemakers shaping the future of global club culture.

On Thursday, Mixmag UAE are partnering with local record label, Black Camel, for a Thursday night ADE party not to be missed. Alongside label founder, Pierre Locher, you'll find Dunmore Brothers, Kenza Kayati, Tate, Sommers (UK) and Reallms behind the decks.

And on Saturday, delegates of ADE can check out the Meteor Music Gathering II, also brought to you to by Mixmag UAE. From 6pm till late, this event features names such as Bianca Blanco, Ona, Robin Fett and Bekta.

ADE Pro’s focus this year leans heavily into music tech, AI, and digital creativity, with Spotify, YouTube and SoundCloud hosting Insider Knowledge sessions on Afro House, Amapiano, and the fast-evolving creator economy. Expect deep dives into AI-driven production, streaming strategies, and building fanbases beyond the algorithm.
Another highlight, ADE Green, will tackle how festivals and brands navigate ethics, money, and global politics – a conversation increasingly relevant for the Middle East’s rapidly expanding festival scene.

For UAE artists, collectives and promoters keeping an eye on what’s next, ADE remains the blueprint: a space where underground sound meets industry influence.
