The 19^th edition of the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) will take place from 15 to 19 October 2014, with 350,000 visitors expected to attend the event.  

Last year’s edition focused on the 25^th anniversary of dance music in The Netherlands, which was marked by a number of special events including the launch of the book Go Wild, an outdoor exhibition, talk shows, special music events and several film screenings. 

“The success of ADE and the health of the electronic music sector are inextricably linked,” said ADE director Richard Zijlma.

“Dance music is currently in the process of conquering the world, with more and more countries and industries getting involved. Consequently, ADE has become a global knowledge and business platform that the world, and the Netherlands and Amsterdam in particular, all benefit from. It’s not for nothing that dance music is now an important part of the cultural policy of the Dutch government.”
