Awakenings has revealed its full program for Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) 2026.
For the industry conference’s return from October 21–25, the Dutch promoter behind Awakenings Summer Festival takes over SugarFactory in Halfweg with an ADE run built on label showcases, curated concepts, and extended sets.
Awakenings’ five-night ADE run kicks off at night on October 21. Making a statement for the weekend ahead, the lineup brings together some of the biggest names in acid, bounce, schranz, and hard techno: 999999999 deliver their high-intensity acid sound, joined by 240 KM/H mainstays Adrián Mills, Fumi x Serafina, Hujus, and Novah.
October 22 features a full Drumcode takeover led by Adam Beyer, the label’s founder and global figurehead, alongside Enrico Sangiuliano x Ilario Alicante, Kaufmann, Kevin de Vries x Konstantin Sibold, and Victor Ruiz, representing the label’s driving, peak-time techno sound.
October 23 splits the schedule into day and night programming. By day, globally renowned Italian DJ and producer Joseph Capriati presents Metamorfosi, a conceptual project rooted in continuous evolution, transformation, and artistic freedom, named after his deeply personal 2020 album. He is joined by AAT, Cloonee, Simon Kidzoo, and The Martinez Brothers, blending groove-heavy house.
Awakenings’ Friday continues by night with Friday Sessions, a darker, more experimental curation leaning into hypnotic techno journeys and extended B2Bs, featuring Amoral x Lobster, Ben Klock x Philippa Pacho, Funk Assault, JakoJako x Rødhåd, and Varuna Agosti.
By day on October 24, Joris Voorn presents Trip to Galaxy, his melodic and emotionally driven concept, joined by Detroit techno pioneer Jeff Mills, Beste Hira x Grace Dahl, Bianka, Blasha & Allatt, and more. Saturday night is led by Swiss melodic techno duo Adriatique, delivering an all-night-long set supported by Brina Knauss.
October 25 closes out the daytime programming with Sunday Sessions, featuring Benwal x DJ Heartstring bringing euphoric, high-energy club momentum, alongside CVNTS, DJ Gigola x Pegassi, Helena Lauwaert, and southstar delivering rave-ready energy to SugarFactory’s final ADE stretch. Sunday night brings the week to a close with Prophecy by Prospa, joined by Isabella x Traumer, Job de Jong, a special B2B guest, and Tommy Phillips, rounding off the series with a final late-night session.
