ADE 2023: Armada Music partners with Amsterdam Airport Schiphol for the first ever DJ sets to be performed in watch towers.


Independent dance music label Armada Music announced its partnership with Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) which will see the first ever DJ sets to be performed in one of the airport’s 360-degree-view watch towers.

Techno pioneer Joris Voorn and trance legend Ferry Corsten will each perform a one-hour set as part of the label’s flagship livestream series ‘Armada In The Mix’, that will be broadcast via Armada Music TV on Wednesday October 18, 20:00 CEST. The inaugural event marks the beginning of the label’s ADE program, titled ‘Welcome To Our Home’.

Maykel Piron, CEO and co-founder of Armada Music said, “We wanted to go all out for ADE this year, especially with it being the Armada’s 20th anniversary. It’s not every day that our artists get the opportunity to perform in one of the world’s most famous airports, and what better way to commence our biggest ADE program to date!”
"It's fantastic to see the coming together of two iconic Dutch brands,” added Arthur Reijnhart, Director Commercial, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. “For many fans and artists, Schiphol is the gateway to ADE. The tower where Armada Music's ADE kick-off is taking place provides an iconic backdrop. It’s extra special that we’re able to offer a select group of fans the chance to attend."

Playing on the theme of ‘Welcome To Our Home’, the label is running a competition to give six fans (per performance) the opportunity to attend the recording. Competition links and more information can be found below. Tickets can be won in pairs.
