DGTL Drops Full Lineup for ADE 2025

Once again, the raw industrial environment of Amsterdam’s iconic NDSM Warehouse will serve as the backdrop for one of Amsterdam Dance Event’s most progressive and anticipated programs, DGTL ADE. From Thursday, October 23 to Sunday, October 26, the revered Dutch festival returns with six standout shows that push the boundaries of electronic music – from rousing live shows to deep night sets that only end as dawn breaks.

Each day has its own defined character: from colorful pop and disco to dark techno, and from dreamy melodic electronica to high-energy house. One of the biggest tickets on the ADE calendar, here’s how the shows break down.

Thursday, October 23: An Explosive Opening
DGTL kicks off ADE 2025 with Australian outfit Confidence Man, bringing their flamboyant and wildly danceable live show to Amsterdam. One of the hottest dance acts on the planet, their no-holds-barred blend of disco, electro and pop, drenched in tongue-in-cheek theatrics sets the tone for what’s to come.

That same night, DGTL dives straight into the deep end with a two-headed club program showcasing the forward-thinking spirit the brand is known for. In Area 1, artists like SAIDAH, Diffrent and Benwal build the tension toward peak-time sets by Daria Kolosova and Pegassi.

Area 2 serves an eclectic menu of high-octane energy, including promising duo Emvae & Moxes, whose profile has risen significantly in recent months. Their unique blend of raw breaks, hypnotic techno and emotional layers saw them earn an honourable mention from Dutch music bible 3voor12 as “ones to watch”. With boundless energy in the booth and a sharp sense of build-up, the pair have become renowned for setting every dance floor they encounter on fire. Together with DJ Fuckoff they ensure a tireless night, perfect for those who don’t plan to stand still for a moment.

Friday, October 24: MEUTE
Arguably the most unique act across the entirety of ADE, German techno marching band MEUTE. Bringing an unforgettable early-evening live show that blends brass and beats in stunning harmony, expect a unique, genre-defying night.

Saturday, October 25: From Golden Hour to Pitch Black
During the day, Ben Böhmer crafts a carefully composed line-up featuring melodic and deeply emotional electronic music. Think deep grooves, dreamy builds, and a golden hour feeling that will fill the room. Among others on the line-up, Mees Salomé who promises to set the tone with his profound and progressive sound, in which layered construction and a strong connection with the dance floor are both central. Parra for Cuva (live) takes over with his characteristic mix of soulful electronics and worldly samples: an atmospheric set with a sublime chill factor that floats somewhere between euphoria and melancholy. Closing out the day program, Ben Böhmer takes to the stage with his beloved live show; atmospheric, melodic and perfectly balanced between introspection and danceable energy. In Area 2 the energy shifts from dreamy to uplifting, with acts such as Juno Mamba, Joplyn (live) and Deer Jade, each giving their own twist to the club sound of today.

Once the NDSM warehouse empties, doors open again at 23:30 for the nighttime round. In the dark, the atmosphere takes a radical shift, becoming a battleground for the heavyhitters: Patrick Mason, 999999999, Boys Noize & SPFDJ and Anetha line-up for a relentless audiovisual assault of raw intensity and high-impact energy. In Area 2, SESH takes over with a raw, uncompromising and edgy lineup including MCR-T, future.666 and Somewhen – a fiery homage to underground rave culture.

Sunday, October 26: DGTL x FUSE
This year’s traditional DGTL Sunday is all about FUSE, the legendary London collection known for its refined selection, impeccable curation, and timeless house sound. Area 1 is led by heavyweights like Raresh, Traumer and Enzo Siragusa, bolstered by fresh and contemporary names including Rossi and Sweely. Area 2 plays host to hand-picked selectors including Ogazón, Call Super, Shanti Celeste, Dr Banana and the Dutch DouDou MD, known for her rhythmically strong, spiritual and percussive vinyl sets brimming with 90s inspired house and techno. An intimate, deeply danceable conclusion to four days of pure electronic excellence.
