DGTL Drops Full Lineup For 2025 ADE Showcase

Amsterdam’s DGTL festival has shared the full lineup for its 2025 Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) showcase.

When the week-long industry conference returns to Amsterdam this fall, the renowned house and techno festival will host four days of music at the NDSM Warehouse, a former shipbuilding facility in Amsterdam-Noord, from October 23-26. By day or by night, this year’s program comprises six shows featuring an array of electronic sounds, from bright pop and disco to dark techno, melodic electronica, hard house, and beyond.

Aussie disco-electro duo Confidence Man kick things off with their party-rocking live show during the day on Thursday, while nightfall brings a unique two-room blend of club programming. In Area 1, hard house and speed garage purveyors SAIDAH, Diffrent, and Benwal give way to headline sets from Ukrainian techno style-weaver Daria Kolosova and Belgian club stalwart Pegassi. Meanwhile, Area 2 is a hotspot for high-octane techno, breaks, and UK bass sounds from Emvae & Moxes, DJ Fuckoff, Chippy Nonstop, and Dr. Dubplate & Kikelomo.

Perhaps the most unique show on the calendar is a live show from MUETE, the German techno marching band known for its covers of popular dance tracks. They’ll blend brass and beats on Friday.

The following day, DGTL invites Berlin-based melodic star Ben Böhmer to curate a daytime showcase in Area 1, full of deep grooves and dreamy builds from Mees Salomé, Qrion, and Parra for Cuva (live), among others. At night, ethereal melodies are swapped for driving kicks from techno stars Patrick Mason, 999999999, Boys Noize & SPFDJ, and Anetha, as well as a takeover from German party brand SESH, featuring MCR-T, future.666, and Somewhen.

As DGTL’s ADE program comes to a grand close on Sunday, the festival will link up with famed London party FUSE for a tailored night of timeless house and techno. Area 1 is set to host FUSE founder Enzo Siragusa, fellow heavyweights Traumer and Raresh, and rising selectors Rossi. and Sweely. Area 2 gets more experimental on the night, with sets from underground trailblazers Ogazón, Call Super, Shanti Celeste, Dr. Banana, and DouDou MD.
