Armada Music is once again taking Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) by storm, curating events both at its headquarters and throughout the city. This year’s schedule is the most dynamic yet, filled with exclusive panels, intimate showcases, and unforgettable performances that highlight the artistry and innovation shaping the dance music landscape.
The festivities kick off with a high-profile professional panel featuring none other than Armin van Buuren, Joris Voorn, and Hannah Laing. Together, these industry giants will explore the fluid boundaries between genres like trance, techno, and progressive, offering their insights into how electronic music continues to evolve and inspire new creators.
Wednesday centers around Arodes and his influential imprint, Unreleased Records, with a special showcase at Armada Music HQ. Fans can expect fresh, boundary-pushing sounds that reflect the label’s forward-thinking approach to house and techno.
Thursday celebrates the soulful side of dance music with a King Street Sounds vinyl-only takeover at the legendary Killacutz record store. Meanwhile, Lagerwal in Amsterdam Noord will host not one but two stacked label nights, featuring performances by melodic powerhouse Eelke Kleijn, the dynamic project SUPERSTRINGS, and a host of surprise acts yet to be announced. The day also brings the highly anticipated marathon live broadcast of A State of Trance, an ADE tradition that brings together a staggering roster of guest DJs for an extended celebration of trance culture.
Friday shifts the focus to education and creativity. Armada University collaborates with ADE Lab to deliver masterclasses led by some of the most respected experts in the industry, offering invaluable insights for aspiring producers and DJs. In a playful twist, Armada Music and Unreleased Records take the party to the streets—literally—with a rolling tram party that transforms Amsterdam’s iconic transit system into a mobile club.
The night culminates with Armada Invites: Joris Voorn & Friends at the stunning Capital C venue, promising extended back-to-back sets for an intimate yet electrifying experience.
