Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), the world’s leading festival and business platform for electronic music, is proud to kick off its landmark 30 YEARS anniversary edition. To commemorate three decades of innovation and cultural impact, ADE has invited electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre as special guest of honour in this defining year, for a standout Opening Concert at AFAS Live on October 21st, an exclusive keynote interview at ADE Pro, and other appearances. ADE 2026 is set to take place October 21 - 25, 2026.




ADE 2026 marks a historic convergence in electronic music legacy; as ADE celebrates its 30-year anniversary, Jean-Michel Jarre reflects on the 50th anniversary of Oxygène. This pioneering masterwork is recognised as a lasting artistic experiment that has stood the test of time, influencing generations of artists who have found their home at ADE over the past three decades.

Jean-Michel Jarre: ADE Opening Concert at AFAS Live

As part of ADE’s Opening Concerts, Jean-Michel Jarre returns to the Netherlands for an exclusive live performance at AFAS Live, presented by MOJO and Insomniac. This immersive show translates his legacy of large-scale spectacles into a cutting-edge live experience at one of Amsterdam’s staple venues.
“Electronic music, as well as ADE, has a history, a legacy and a future. The live show at ADE is going to celebrate its 30th anniversary, but also the 50th anniversary of Oxygène. I have the ambition to keep the suspense and go from one track to another, into a different atmosphere, different stage design, mapping, giant projections and architectures of lights and videos, to share that moment that can stay in your heart and your brain for the rest of your lives - This is the reason I’m so happy to be part of this celebration in 2026.” - Jean-Michel Jarre
Beyond the live concert, Jarre’s involvement in ADE 2026 bridges the origins and future of electronic music at ADE Pro with an exclusive keynote interview, alongside more surprises. From early studio experimentation to concerts that transformed entire cityscapes into shared listening spaces, his influence runs through half a century of the culture. As an artist who has always placed technology, light, and sound at the core of his work, Jarre is set to engage with the ADE community throughout the event’s program tracks. More details are soon to follow.

1996—2026: 30 Years of Driving Electronic Music Forward

Over the past three decades, ADE has grown to become the most influential breeding ground for electronic music; building the framework that helped a new genre to be recognised worldwide as an art form and a thriving business, into what is now an immense global industry. More specials, initiatives and events celebrating 30 Years of ADE will be unveiled throughout the coming months.

Tickets for Jean-Michel Jarre at AFAS Live are available on Friday, March 13 via MOJO. The ADE Pro Pass is available at Early Bird rates starting Wednesday, March 11. For more information on ADE 2026, please visit the ADE website.

  • Keynote speech: Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein
Soundtrack music that keeps you on your toes – How composers Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein crafted an original sound including hypnotizing Stranger Things soundtrack.

How do you create an original soundtrack that keeps the audience on edge? And how do you keep innovating that original soundtrack when the series is going on for more than four seasons? Composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein will answer these and more questions during their keynote. With their hypnotizing, electronic and bone-chilling themes they crafted a soundtrack that is well known by TV-lovers as the ‘Stranger Things’ soundtrack. The Netflix series has been known for its use of music, but it’s the score written by Dixon and Stein that really brings the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana and their characters alive. While their music for early seasons focused on the timeless sound of '80s analog synthesizers, they'd soon harness melodies and atmospherics befitting Eleven and Mike's interdimensional struggle.

With their work for ‘Stranger Things’ they have launched themselves as modern composers for film and television, but they don’t stop there. They also work on several documentaries and movies, like Joaquin del Paso’s ‘The Hole in the Fence’ that received several awards and nominations. Furthermore, they created various soundscapes for VR-installations, that prove this duo is versatile and always innovating their use of music.

In this keynote Dixon and Stein will share their vision on innovative scoring with glitchy and quirky sounds. At heart, Dixon and Stein are avid students of electronic music history who constantly explore new methods of composition and scoring. While they have a clear facility for soundtracking the supernatural and otherworldly, Dixon and Stein have an equal interest in scoring quieter, decidedly human drama.

  • I’m With the Brand: Best Cases in Music & Brand Partnerships in 2022
BMIM - Tim de Broekert (Communication Specialist, Tony's Chocolonely) and Brogan Simpson (Global Communications Manager, Heineken)

Music partnerships have long offered brands a powerful way to reach audiences on an emotional level, and when companies want consumers to connect in an "authentic" way, music is the glue which makes that happen. This session brings together a panel of marketing leaders from NS, Tony’s Chocolonely and Heineken to share best practice and case studies along with practical advice for artists and brands alike. How do brands and artists remain authentic when the brand sponsor model is replaced by creative partnerships that are mutually rewarding?

SPEAKERS

Karl Heortweard

Karl Heortweard (1988) is a composer for international films and TV programmes. After living in Stockholm for a period of time, where he developed the basics of writing for media, the frustration of not knowing how to proceed led to the plan to record his trajectory with the idea of ​​eventually writing a book about it. Back in the Netherlands, he was determined to be a film composer and has been able to achieve this over the subsequent years. In 2017, he wrote the music for the Albanian film ‘Elvis Walks Home’ and ‘Love and Shukla’, an Indian film that was sold to Netflix. In 2019, 'Project Rembrandt' started which more than a million Dutch people watch every week and have aired three seasons so far. The film 'Whitestar' also went into cinemas that year, to which the sequel 'Silverstar' was made in 2022. During that period he also worked on other film productions such as 'Casanova's' (2020) and 'Zomer in Frankrijk' (2023) and the program 'Dreamschool' (2021) for the NPO. He also gives guest lectures and workshops on composition and making a career as a media composer at film festivals and universities. His experience, along with 56 other industry professionals, is now reflected in his book 'You Shoot, I Score!'. A guide that will help you you’re your own way, whether you are still exploring and looking for an education, searching for the best jobs for you, or considering to go to Hollywood.

ADE Pro invites industry experts from Activision, EA Games, Playstation and Position Music for the panel Game On - Video Game Music in 2020 and Beyond, organised and presented by Buma Music in Motion, the platform for the innovative use of music in games, film, television and advertising.

The panelists will be taking an in-depth look at a range of pressing issues, including the music placement and scoring opportunities that exist both for AAA+ games and the growing crowd-funded independent gaming sector. The A-List panelists will also be discussing whether you really need to learn how to use games engines such as Unity to be a games composer, when and if production music is used in the sector, and which gaming music supervisors are currently curating the huge sports games playlists.
”The core-mission of Buma Music in Motion is to promote synergies between music and moving images, and one of the most fertile areas for that right now is gaming. Music forms such an integral part of today's biggest console and multi-player games, and is often used in artfully integrated, creative ways . So, we're very proud to partner with ADE to present a stellar line-up of speakers working at the forefront of music/movement innovation," says BMiM's Maartje Glas.
ADE Pro will also be hosting two BMiM Shorts from music synchronisation specialists, offering advice and pointers for people wanting to work in this growing and dynamic sector. Additionally, in between the keynotes, workshops and panels, correspondents from Berlin, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paolo, Warsaw, Tokyo, London, Los Angeles and more, will be joining in to recount how life under lockdown has been for them, the burning issues of the day as seen by them, and their hopes for the scene and the world post-COVID 19.
