Third Party Announce UK Show For 2025

Third Party just announced their first show for 2025 and is looking big. Taking place in their home country, the English DJs are presenting their ‘Party People’ show and are set to step on stage at the Grand Central Dome in Liverpool on March 8th.
What To Expect
After a successful 2024 filled with shows at Tomorrowland, Creamfields, Brooklyn Mirage and many other big events and venues, the progressive house kings will return to Liverpool once more after three years. Expect to hear Third Party hits such as ‘Free’ and ‘Carry You,’ accompanied by an atmosphere like no other. The progressive house pioneers always deliver some of the best sets and offer fans memories for a lifetime. Watch these videos from their packed out show at Amsterdam Dance Event to get a taste of what the ideal Third Party set looks like. Joined by artists like Matisse & Sadko, Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman, and Corey James, their first ‘Party People’ show was one for the books that set the start to what awaits to be a beautiful journey for following Third Party shows.
Liverpool’s Grand Central Dome
The venue has a capacity of 3,576 people and is a key cultural spot in Liverpool’s entertainment scene. Before Third Party, DJs like Jax Jones, D.O.D and Paul Oakenfold will take over The Dome. Following a shutdown in 2022, a group of hospitality professionals restored and reopened the location in 2023, turning it into a cutting-edge multi-event venue with fresh facilities, top class sound system and better lighting.
The building stands out from other music event spaces as it has a magic story behind it. Originally constructed as a Methodist church in 1905, the Grand Central Dome was later converted into a cinema. Now, it is known for its unique event space and the stunning Art Nouveau design which makes it a Grade II historic site.
Should You Attend The Event
This is a chance like no other to see one of the most iconic duos in the electronic music world. Putting on a show featuring the finest sounds of tech house and progressive house, Third Party are expected to bring the ultimate heat to Liverpool’s Dome. The superstar DJs are touring all over the world, but seeing them play to a home crowd is something special that does not always happen due to their busy schedule. As the event has just been announced, no further information other than the date and location has been revealed, but you can sign up following this link to receive updates about ticket sales and more.

The track generates a captivating, almost hypnotic atmosphere that pulls you into a profound groove. It’s the ideal choice for late-night sets where a darker, more introspective mood is essential, ensuring a unique and unforgettable vibe.

Marlon Hoffstadt's "Daddycation" Event Kicked Off Awakenings ADE With All the Bells and Whistles

Marlon Hoffstadt, fans of whom call "DJ Daddy Trance," kicked off ADE with his first-ever solo performance at the world's leading electronic music summit.
His highly anticipated Awakenings event, "Daddycation"—named after his latest EP—took place at Amsterdam's famed Gashouder. The 360° venue provided us with a fully immersive experience, regardless of our viewpoint.
From the moment Hoffstadt hit the stage, the atmosphere was electric. His devoted fans, affectionately known as his "children," came out in full force, dancing to every beat and building the energy to a fever pitch. The vibe was so infectious that even the onsite paramedics were singing along, word-for-word, to tracks from Daddycation.
Hoffstadt's rapid rise has been undeniable, and his sold-out ADE headlining set reinforced his place at the top. The night was an audiovisual spectacle featuring his biggest hits, including the standout track "It's That Time," which was one of the most-played songs at Tomorrowland and remixed by heavyweights like FISHER.
Marlon Hoffstadt Drops "It's That Time" at Awakenings ADE (0:13) Midway through the performance, Hoffstadt amped up the excitement by stripping off his rugby-lined, long-sleeve top to reveal his newly launched line of merchandise. Rocking his bold "Daddy" tank, he kept the energy high and his "children's" spirits lifted. Vibrant Hoffstadt-themed visuals echoing his brand lit up the screens throughout the venue.
Adding to the night’s magic, Hoffstadt welcomed several close friends and fan-favorites to join him onstage, like Malugi, who recently joined him for a scintillating b2b Boiler Room set in London. Their palpable chemistry peaked during their euphoric "Work Bitch" remix, sending the crowd into a frenzy as the they embraced one another.
Hoffstadt has undoubtedly cast a trance over his fans, and if his solo ADE debut is any indication, the "Daddy" era is just getting started. Check out his Daddycation EP below.

AREA15 to Haunt Vegas With "Post-Apocalyptic Carnival" Halloween Event Featuring Whethan

AREA15 is inviting you to "unleash your inner survivor" and leave your sanity at its doors this Halloween.
The beloved Las Vegas campus is mutating into scAREA15 for a unique event, Strange Circus, which organizers are calling a "post-apocalyptic carnival" where cyborg contortionists and deranged circus performers stalk through the shadows.
It's not all frights, of course. Delights will come in the form of a killer lineup led by headliners Whethan, Baby Gravy (Yung Gravy and bbno$) and Connor Price. Attendees can also join the madness by competing in a costume contest, where the line between performer and participant blurs in true AREA15 fashion.
AREA15
AREA15
This Halloween transformation merges electronic and hip-hop beats with the surreal aesthetics of a funhouse gone rogue. Attendees can expect to find themselves lost in a labyrinth where traditional circus tropes have been corrupted by a distinctly dystopian edge—think less ringmaster, more wasteland warrior.
The night promises to be a sensory assault where the freakshow isn't just center stage—it's everywhere you turn, curating an immersive experience that's equal parts exhilarating and unsettling. The all-ages show is set to take over AREA15's A-Lot, The Portal and The Wall at AREA15 on Saturday, October 26th.

EDMTunes Chats with Jetzen

On the eve of their special stage takeover at Ritvales Festival in Medellin, Colombia this November, EDMTunes spoke with the DJ/producer and stage curator, Jetzen, about his inspiration as an artist and what led to this moment. Footage from past years’ Ritvales Festivals show Jetzen’s Aeonica stage as being accessed after patrons ride a human-sized “toy train” from what appears to be the main festival grounds to a secluded outdoor area under a canopy of sub-tropical trees. This secluded area has drawn a bigger and bigger audience each year, with some years seeing even mainstage performers sneaking over to play an unannounced set. The Aeonica stage is set in a clearing on the grass where music-lovers can vibe-out with their bare feet grounded directly to Mother Earth, if people so wish, and the area is such that the “dancefloor” naturally expands outward from the DJ booth based on how many people gather. The Aeonica stage can be as intimate or as large as the crowd dictates, and the atmosphere according to past festival-goers is one of mystical, naturalistic wonder. 
For readers of EDMTunes who may already be attending Ritvales – or who may be considering attending – a pair of super-exclusive VIP “deluxe package” tickets will be available by emailing [email protected]. The deluxe VIP packages include meet-and-greets with select artists, entry to the official pre-party, entry to the festival itself, plus other goodies. (Packages do not include flights, ground transportation or hotels.)
EDMTunes sat down with Jetzen to find out what makes him tick.
EDMTunes: From what we’ve been able to glean, you seem a bit mysterious as an artist. What can you tell us about yourself — and your philosophy — to help readers better understand you?
Jetzen: As an artist, I thrive on the enigmatic nature of creativity and the infinite possibilities it offers. My philosophy revolves around exploring the depths of sound to evoke emotions, provoke thought, and ultimately, to connect with listeners on a profound level. Through my music, whether in the studio crafting new tracks or performing live onstage, I aim to transcend boundaries and create experiences that resonate deeply with audiences worldwide.
EDMTunes: What’s the significance of your DJ alias, Jetzen?
Jetzen: The Jetzen alias embodies my artistic vision and journey. It symbolizes a fusion of high-energy propulsion and Zen-like tranquility, reflecting my approach to music as both a thrilling adventure and a deeply introspective experience. Through Jetzen, I aim to propel listeners into new sonic dimensions while inviting them to find moments of peace and reflection within the music. It’s about striking a balance between dynamism and serenity, of creating a harmonious flow that resonates with the soul.
EDMTunes: There’s a Jetzen Remix on your label’s latest E.P., Lla Lluvia, that’s really groovy. Was there a story behind that release?
Jetzen: The track “Lla Lluvia” delves into the profound symbolism of rain as a manifestation of emotion and spirit. For the remix, I wanted to immerse myself in that concept, capturing the essence of rain’s transformative energy. I incorporated actual rain sounds to enhance the emotional depth, using instruments like the rainmaker—a unique tool that mimics the gentle cascade of raindrops. This approach allowed me to weave the natural rhythm of rain into the remix, creating a sonic experience that resonates with the raw, evocative power of the elements.
EDMTunes: What’s your feeling about the growing chorus of DJs/producers speaking-out about banning cellphones at live shows? What’s your opinion as an artist and performer? 
Jetzen: From my perspective, the issue of banning cellphones at live shows is complex and ultimately falls on the venue to navigate. Venues are responsible for balancing the needs of both artists and audiences, including considerations about filming and privacy. If an artist prefers no phones or recordings during their performance, it’s crucial that they discuss and agree on these terms with the venue beforehand. Each venue has its own culture and guidelines, and it’s important for them to understand and address these social nuances to ensure a respectful and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
EDMTunes: Art doesn’t exist in a vacuum. So, speaking about the arts in broader terms, can you name the “top three” most influential films that have had the biggest, most lasting impact on you? 
Jetzen: Three films that have profoundly impacted me are. “The Fifth Element,” “Interstellar “ and “Spaceballs.” “The Fifth Element” stands out for its blend of nostalgia and futurism, combining serious themes with playful elements in a masterful way. “Interstellar” captivates with its exploration of time, space, and human connection. Its stunning portrayal of a post-apocalyptic world leaves a lasting impression. Lastly, “Spaceballs” offers a hilarious and fun perspective, reminding us to enjoy the journey and not take things too seriously. Each of these films uniquely influences my approach to creativity and storytelling. 
EDMTunes: Which artists, musicians, performers do you take your musical cues from today? Which artists do you admire, as a consumer of art yourself? What is it about each of these artists that changed your perception of music or art? Did they influence your journey as a music-maker? 
Jetzen: As a music-maker, I draw inspiration from artists like Solomun, Boris Brejcha, and Deadmau5, who each bring a unique perspective to electronic music. Their innovative approaches and distinctive sounds have profoundly influenced my own work. Beyond these contemporary influences, I also admire legendary artists from various genres, such as The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, and Prince, as well as more recent acts like Radiohead and Pearl Jam. The diversity and mastery in their music serve as a rich source of inspiration and have shaped my journey as an artist.
EDMTunes: Where can music-lovers come out to see you DJ? What are the biggest shows you have coming-up for the remainder of 2024?
Jetzen: I’m DJing at a few exciting events this year, including a special show at Sound Nightclub in LA on September 5th. While my schedule is packed with various projects, I’m also set to perform in Medellin, Colombia on November 2nd and 3rd at the Aeonica stage at Ritvales Festival. I’m committed to making each performance memorable and unique for those who attend.
EDMTunes: What can attendees expect from the Aeonica Stage at this year’s Ritvales Festival? What’s the lineup? Can you describe the stage/area? What distinguishes the vibe of the Aeonica Stage from the other stages at Ritvales?
Jetzen: As the curator of the Aeonica stage at Ritvales, we invite artists who embody our core values, serving as ambassadors of our sound—not merely for their ticket-selling power. This year, alongside our team of artists, I’m thrilled to welcome the wonderful Ida Engberg, the dynamic duo Pig and Dan, the ever-evolving DJ Tennis, the iconic GusGus, and, to top it all, the master of musical wisdom, Maceo Plex. In tribute to Colombia’s culture, we’ve also invited several local talent, including the legendary Kamilo Sanclemente and Juan Pablo Torrez closing the event at our after-party—iIt will be the perfect way to welcome the sunrise over the beautiful Medellín skyline.
EDMTunes: We’ve listened to your weekly Aeonica Radio show on LittLive Radio and Radio Eibiza. What’s the process when programming your weekly radio show in terms of track selection, setting the theme of each episode and creating a mood or atmosphere with your mix?
Jetzen: Programming my weekly Aeonica Radio show is an experimental and creative process. I start by categorizing the show’s theme—whether it’s mysterious, uplifting, or chill—and select tracks that fit within these categories. I often draw inspiration from previous shows and different geographic or genre influences, like a Middle Eastern or Afrobeat theme. It’s like curating a menu at a restaurant: each show is a unique blend of styles and sounds, designed to offer a cohesive and engaging listening experience.
EDMTunes: As parting words, can you describe the essence of the art-of-creation that motivates you as a music-maker? What keeps you going?
Jetzen: For me, the art-of-creation lies in the pursuit of sonic innovation and emotional connection. It’s about channeling raw inspiration into melodies that move hearts and rhythms that move bodies. What keeps me going is the thrill of exploring uncharted musical territories, the joy of crafting something unique that resonates with listeners, and the belief that through music, we can transcend barriers and touch souls. It’s a journey of discovery, passion and continuous evolution, where each new track is a testament to the limitless possibilities of artistic expression.

55% of Music Fans Prioritize Capturing Video of Performance Over Being Present In the Moment

Remember when dancing meant moving your feet instead of your thumbs?
In today's war between FOMO and flow state, excessive smartphone usage is entrenched as one of the most contentious flashpoints in the global electronic dance music scene. As debates around digital intrusion on dancefloors intensify, Heineken has launched a new app, "The Boring Mode," escalating the industry's broader push to balance technological integration with preserved authenticity.
According to research from Heineken, 60% of Gen Z and Millennial smartphone users across the UK, US and the Netherlands reported they believe they'd enjoy concerts more if they could disconnect from their devices. A more grim figure is the 55% of respondents who admitted that they prioritize capturing footage of a performance over being present in the moment, even though 13% said they rarely watch back the videos they record anyway.
"The Boring Mode" aims to restore the authentic dancefloor experience by temporarily disabling a phone's most distracting features, including apps, notifications and camera functions. While some argue that recording and sharing are now integral to modern music culture, Heineken's approach offers a middle ground—voluntary disconnection without completely banning devices.
A proof-of-concept took place during last week's Amsterdam Dance Event, where fans attempting to film Barry Can't Swim's DJ set were instead met with a message—sent using infrared lighting—encouraging them to turn their smartphones "boring." The renowned Scottish DJ and producer, whose real name is Joshua Mainnie, has enthusiastically backed the tool.
Heineken's new app, "The Boring Mode," in action during Barry Can't Swim's DJ set at the 2024 Amsterdam Dance Event.Heineken
"When I heard about the new 'anti-smart' phone concept, it was something that struck a chord with me," Mainnie said. "With live music, of course you are more present and immersed if you are giving it your full attention, rather than taking a video on your phone. And without phones, the energy is definitely different—people are more connected on the dancefloor."
Barry Can't Swim joins a slew of prominent electronic music artists and venues in the crusade against smartphone usage in nightlife. MEDUZA and James Hype launched a campaign to "preserve the authenticity" of club culture by denouncing excessive recording and Wavedash discouraged smartphone use by asking fans to cover their cameras with stickers blazoning the phrase, "Social media? No thanks."
Renowned DJ and festival organizer Damian Lazarus instated a groundbreaking no-phone policy for his summer residency at the famed Hï Ibiza venue, establishing a new precedent on the fabled Spanish party island. Ibiza legend Bob Sinclar also recently lamented the scourge of content culture in nightclubs after a show he called "the worst gig of [his] entire career."
The Boring Mode is available to download for free on iOS and Android.

Watch Valentino Khan Redesign the Los Angeles Lakers' In-Game Organ Music

In the pantheon of Los Angeles Lakers legends, Valentino Khan has rewritten the soundtrack.
The renowned DJ and electronic producer recently joined forces with the team to rework its in-game organ music. He then heard his work in action at the famed Crypto.com Arena, where the Lakers on Tuesday night hosted the Minnesota Timberwolves for their home opener.
It was a big moment for Khan, a lifelong LA sports fan.
"I got to re-design the sound of the Lakers organ that plays at every home game," he wrote on social media. "My goal was to restore it to that *classic* Lakers organ sound but add a modern twist to it. If you told me as a kid I’d get to do this one day I wouldn’t believe it."
The same goes for basketball legend LeBron James and his son, Bronny, who made history as the first father-and-son duo to play together in the NBA. The Lakers ultimately won by a score of 110-103.

Bear Grillz Is Opening a Denver Food Truck With Donut Sandwiches

Bear Grillz is a chef in the studio, whipping up bass-infused beats and blending a variety of sonic flavors into his music. Now, he's turning to a real-life kitchen after announcing the launch of a new food truck, Electric Donut Factor.
Serving donut sandwiches, the truck will open in Denver next month. The project is a collaboration between Bear Grillz, electronic music producer Stryer and chef Tom Coohill.
Together, they've curated a limited menu of three unique sandwiches that marry sweet and savory flavors. Glazed donuts act as sandwich buns in all three options: fried chicken topped with chipotle mayo, a bacon burger and a breakfast-inspired cinnamon, egg and cheese delight.
"We're really excited to get this out to everyone in Denver and then eventually around the rest of the world," Stryer told The Denver Post. "I can't think of a better place to launch it than Denver, a city that's so receptive to new ideas and [has] such a fun culture for this kind of product."
The team is now set to host an opening party on November 3rd, colliding culinary experiences and electronic music with a secret lineup of Denver-based DJs at Kulture Music Hall.
Electric Donut Factor will reportedly land at festivals and events across the country as well. You can stay up-to-date on the truck's appearances here.

"This was the most iconic transformational DNA altering experience of my life, one of my greatest achievements," he added. "It pushed me in ways I had never experienced. Putting on this show was a year long project, and my heart is just exploding about it all!"
In other LSZEE news, the duo made their East Coast debut at Brooklyn Mirage earlier this month, with support from Daily Bread and EDM.com Class of 2023 star A Hundred Drums, among others. On the solo front, CloZee will perform at Suwannee Hulaween this weekend while LSDREAM is poised for a hotly anticipated show at the Caverns in mid-November.

Mathame Present NEO At UshuaĂŻa Dubai Harbour Experience

Mathame, the visionary Italian DJ and producer duo, are set to unveil their revolutionary NEO show at the Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience on New Year’s Eve, Tuesday, December 31, 2024.

Emerging from the solitude of volcanic Mount Etna and stages around the world, Mathame have captivated audiences with their transportive music that transcends genres, generations, and dimensions. Sonic alchemists whose productions unfold as poignant explorations intertwining reverie and reality, the brothers masterfully immerse listeners into the futuristic realms they conjure, pulsating with sensorial magic and ethereal energies. Their evocative melodies and deep, atmospheric beats have carved out a unique space in the electronic music scene, and the duo’s live performances never fail to transport the dancefloor to otherworldly realms.
Originally debuted during their residency of the same name, NEO is an evolving art form that blends technology with the unifying power of music to deliver an experiential marvel in a category of its own. On Saturday, October 5, the duo officially introduced NEO to the world, kicking off their world tour at The Brooklyn Mirage, via a two-hour, 360-degree sonic experience – featuring the humanoid monument as the euphoric centerpiece, immersing attendees into their forward-thinking, cinematic artistic vision in a completely new way. A bridge between the ancient and the modern, it reveals itself through the absorption of lights, shadows and colours, synchronized with Mathame’s expertly curated soundscapes.
A physical manifestation of the duo’s connective ethos and effervescent vigour, NEO creates spaces for human interaction and emotional resonance as Mathame incites audiences to explore the interplay between sounds and the senses. As Mathame bring NEO to Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience, the cutting-edge sonic experience will be set against the breathtaking sunset views of Dubai’s skyline, promising to be an immersive and unforgettable New Year’s Eve celebration.
Created by The Night League and Studio A by Addmind Hospitality, the UshuaĂŻa Dubai Harbour Experience continues to bring the most innovative and celebrated electronic music stars to Dubai. With a series of extraordinary events planned through May 2025, attendees can look forward to world-class performances, mesmerising visuals, state-of-the-art production by High Scream, and the unparalleled festival atmosphere that has made UshuaĂŻa Ibiza world-famous.

Watch Michael Bibi's Historic London DJ Set, the Largest Electronic Show in City's History

A staggering 45,000-plus attendees gathered at London's Finsbury Park to kick off Michael Bibi's "One Life" tour, celebrating the beloved DJ's return after a six-month battle with cancer.
The momentous event, which became the largest electronic show in the city's history, is now available to watch in-full on YouTube. 
Emotions ran high throughout Bibi's headlining set, with tear-jerking footage from his experiences in hospital and clips from his childhood playing on-screen. His father also joined him onstage for a riveting guitar performance.
"London. The city I was raised, the place I got my schooling in electronic music & the town I was treated to fight cancer," Bibi wrote. "July 6th, we danced in celebration of life, the power of never giving up, & showed support to the people that helped save my life. I will never forget that day. I envisioned this show while in my hospital bed & seeing it come to life in front of my eyes is one of the most beautiful things I have ever been a part of."
Bibi is performing a "very limited number of shows" as he continues his recovery, he told Billboard. The Solid Grooves founder has upcoming dates in Argentina, Brazil and Chile next month.
Watch his full performance in London below.

Collabhouse Gives Second €5k Promo Campaign Prize Away To Celebrate Ade 2024

To celebrate the arrival of ADE 2024 – and the launch of their industry-disrupting Pre-Cleared Artist Music Library – Collabhouse are once again offering one lucky producer the chance to win €5,000 to spend on a music promotion campaign.
The Dutch music distribution and promotion platform – created by Spinnin’ Records co-founder Eelko van Kooten – offered up the same career-defining prize back in August. It had its proverbial hand bitten off as over 2,500 tracks were entered. With so much demand – and this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event right around the corner – van Kooten and his team decided to drop another chance to win. 
“These targeted promotional campaigns can have a huge impact on the success of a track,” commented Collabhouse CMO, Andy Berendsen. “For example a recent campaign with BEAUZ exceeded expectations, delivering 73k video creations on TikTok, reaching almost 53 million people, and accumulating over 5.7 million streams on Spotify. We’re excited to give more artists the opportunity to achieve such success.” 
Going live on October 16th to coincide with the opening of ADE, artists have until October 31st to upload tracks to be in with a chance to win. 
ADE 2024 promises to be the biggest so far for the Amsterdam-based, label-in-your-pocket music solution. Designed with producers at its core, Collabhouse gives artists cutting edge promotion and distribution tools across over 65 different streaming sites and download stores – but that is very much just the tip of the iceberg. The latest jewel in the Collabhouse crown is their brand new Pre-Cleared Artist Music Library, full details of which will be made public next week. 
Fittingly with the roll out imminent, van Kooten will also be giving an ADE Masterclass on ‘The New Era of Music Promotion – Viral Content, Fan Building, and Career Growth’. Joining him on Wednesday October 16th at ADE Lab’s Mappa Soundbar to discuss life beyond the traditional record label model will be Triller VP Ben Reid, ex-TikTok exec Dan Carter, label head and artist Gallya, and host Mandy Salam-Aubry, founder of Music Services.  
Collabhouse will also use ADE to launch CollabhouseTV. In association with Reason Studios, SAE Institute, and BAX Music, CollabhouseTV will capture the world’s biggest electronic music conference as it happens, with interviews and sneak peeks at the latest gear and tech.

[Event Review] ADE Continues Reign As Best Music Festival Conference In The World After 2024 Edition

Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) is an experience like no other. I have tried to explain it to friends over the years and honestly, it does not compare to seeing it for yourself. This was my 3rd straight year of going to ADE and I think I will go for life. It is an incredible 5 straight days of music, conferences, networking, and so much more. By the end you will be ready to sleep for 20 hours straight… but of course ready to do it all again next year.
ADE has already announced the 30th edition taking place October 22nd to 26th 2025. In addition, they will be collaborating with Amsterdam 750. It will celebrate the 750th year anniversary of the Dutch capital and will see many events taking place in Amsterdam throughout the year. I don’t want to jump ahead too far, but next year might really be something special. Let’s first recap how memorable this year was.
ADE is a special place where producers from around the world can come together and collaborate. The whole Dance music industry is there, eager to connect with their peers. If you are looking to break into the industry ADE is the place to go.

I don’t think there is a better city to host the biggest EDM conference in the world. By day, you can experience parties or run around the city to the many tourist attractions. By night, you will have so many shows or festivals to choose from.
I find Amsterdam to be so charming to just bike or walk through. The streets are fairytale-like and you might find yourself saying “This looks like Harry Potter“. And that is ’cause it does! The buildings are irregular and jolt out around the curved streets.
The city’s layout is perfect for walking but made for biking. I traveled from event to event on the bike and it’s a necessity. Plus you feel like a local too. You can also take the tram or Metro which is option #2 in my view. Driving around and Ubering is not a viable option as it tends to take longer and will be expensive over time. I did Uber to events farther out of the city, AMF for instance.
The Dutch are my favorite people (outside of America of course). They are very welcoming and super nice at shows. They are social and have very warm energy to them.

If you have a Pro Pass you can attend as many events as you can get to. This is of course if you get enough sleep (not likely). The conference events centered around Felix Meritis but there are many other locations for talks. The events look into the future of the industry and feature talks on a variety of topics for all industry professionals.
Some of the biggest talks of the week included Martin Garrix and Friends, Chris Lake & Aluna talking about vocal sessions, Amelie Lens & Charlotte de Witte, and so much more. Sara Landry also talked about her rise in Techno.
Indira Paganotto & Joseph Capriati explored creative synergy. Mappa had some great events from Artist Branding: How to Build an Artist Brand to Creating Faster Than You Can Overthink.

Now to the real fun of ADE. There were more events than you could imagine during these 5 days. The ones I chose to attend were from personal preference and of course no slight to the many many amazing shows around the city. With the Pro Pass, you can hop around to multiple events if you choose. It helps if they are in the inner city rather than the entertainment district about 30 minutes away via the metro.
On Wednesday, I kicked off ADE with Merow, Mesto, and closed with Oliver Heldens at Melkweg. Heldens played a very HI-LO focused set and I was happy. This was my most hopping night and it was fun to explore 3 different venues via bike.
On Thursday, I continued to hop around first starting at STMPD Night at AFAS Live. It was a stellar lineup filled with immaculate production from Martin Garrix’s label. One of my favorite sets here was Dillon Francis B2B Julian Jordan. After this show, I saw Matroda, Westend, and San Pacho for some afters.
On Friday, I saw Tomorrowland Unity of Symphony for the first time. This was 100% my favorite experience at ADE this year. It was incredible to see a symphony play all of my favorites from Avicii to Martin Garrix to Swedish House Mafia. The 2nd half was filled with DJs including Hardwell being supported with live music. After this show, we headed to the Paradise X Loveland experience at Mediahaven. Chris Stussy and Jamie Jones threw down as always.
To close ADE off (because I was too tired to go out Sunday) I headed to the biggest festival of the week AMF. Some would say it is the crown jewel of ADE with it welcoming over 40,000 attendees. AMF takes over the Johan Cruijff ArenA with the help of Insomniac and makes it into a massive party. The lineup this year featured Martin Garrix, Tiesto, Timmy Trumpet, Maddix, Wade, Marlon Hoffstadt, Tita Lau, Monocule, and Showtek.
