With over 450 ADE Festival events confirmed so far and the program nearing halfway completion, ADE 2025 is set to provide a star-studded program filled with one-off highlights - such as a full on No Art Festival, over 16 Intercell events throughout the city, Jeff Mills returning with his Tomorrow Comes the Harvest concept, ZERØBPM’s 40 hour ambient meditation marathon at Thomaskerk, and ZeeZout’s ADE Special at Concertgebouw where club night meets concert hall.
Former Amsterdam prison complex De Bajes and Levenslang return in 2025, as well as Amsterdam’s legendary pirate radio ship Veronica Schip. Plus, ADE Lab’s new Lab Village at Westerpark will be home to large scale art and light installations — all free to access.
