Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) has unveiled the first wave of artists set to perform at this year’s conference.
Today’s announcement features over 300 artists confirmed to play at the global dance music industry’s foremost assembly, which returns to the Dutch capital from October 16-20, 2024, with over 2,500 artists set to perform at over 1,000 events in nearly 200 venues across the city.
Among the first wave of artists, which comprises only 10 percent of the full ADE program, are the Netherlands’ own Martin Garrix, club queen Peggy Gou, dubstep trailblazers Benga and Skream, electronica hero Four Tet, Eurodance favorite Marlon Hoffstadt, and an array of techno stars like Indira Paganotto, Rebekah, Brutalismus 3000, FJAAK and Klangkuenstler.
Elsewhere on the lineup, American electronic icons like Honey Dijon, Jeff Mills, The Martinez Brothers, The Blessed Madonna, Seth Troxler, and more are slated to play, in addition to rising South African duo Major League DJz and Ukranian progressive frontrunner Miss Monique.
The five-day gathering, which annually attracts visitors from nearly 150 countries, will also host panel discussions and events from 600 total speakers, and special concerts from Awakenings Upclose, DGTL, Verknipt, Tomorrowland presents “Our Story,” HE.SHE.THEY., Speedy J’s STOOR, Dave Clarke presents, and many more.
Last year’s ADE conference speakers included A&R presentations from Adam Beyer and A-Trak, a climate action discussion with Jayda G, “The Art of Vinyl DJing” with Héctor Oaks, and a special Filth On Acid demo drop with Reinier Zonneveld, among others. Additional 2024 lineup announcements will be made in the coming months. Check out the full phase one roster in ADE’s post below.
