30 Years of Club Culture: DJ MAX Brings “Welcome To The Club” Anniversary to ADE 2026

One of Europe’s longest-running electronic music institutions is celebrating three decades of shaping club culture. DJ MAX’s award-winning Welcome To The Club brand returns to the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) for its third consecutive year, locking in a monumental 30th Anniversary Party on Saturday, October 24th.

The celebration takes over Amsterdam-Noord’s iconic waterfront venue, Van de Werf (NDSM-Kade 2), from 18:00 to 02:00.

Staying true to a 30-year legacy of championing electronic music, DJ MAX has curated a global lineup that bridges generations. The night will feature a handpicked roster of heavyweights and rising stars from the USA, Spain, the Netherlands and beyond, delivering a seamless musical journey through House music sub-genres. The first wave of artists spans from ISA CARRILLO, a new and emerging female artist based in Spain, to New York City heavyweight DJ BLACKICON1, a true king of the New York City airwaves. The colours of the Netherlands will be once again represented by DJ IZEE, who is with Welcome To The Club for the 3rd time in a row and SOLEIL CARRILLO will fly over from Canada just for this special event.

“This year is really something special for me. It’s 30 years of ADE and 30 years of my Welcome To The Club radio show. A double jubilee that really matters. We live in a challenging times with geopolitical uncertainty and in the world of digitalisation that is on the verge to go out of the hands. To accomplish 30 years of consistency and relevance seems surreal and I want to congratulate ADE for all those years, connecting us around the beautiful thing called music. At the same time I’m proud to be part of the process of shaping club culture with my Welcome To The Club radio show and my performances as a DJ and musical artist. Van de Werf, our beautiful Amsterdam home is ready and I would like to invite you all to enjoy the music and to celebrate with us our 30th Anniversary. Welcome, or should I say: Welcome To The Club.” – DJ MAX

What started on Croatia’s national airwaves (HRT – HR2) in 1996 has evolved into a global phenomenon spanning over 1300 weekly episodes and legendary parties from Ibiza to Amsterdam. This October, the dedication continues.
