Next week, ADE Lab returns stronger than ever, welcoming a record number of aspiring artists, producers and young professionals to its new home at ADE Lab Village in Westerpark. Nearly ten venues will merge into one creative hub dedicated to the future of electronic music.

As the educational and talent-focused arm of Amsterdam Dance Event, ADE Lab offers four days of inspiration, learning and connection through talks, workshops, studio sessions and networking opportunities. For the first time, all activity will unfold within Westergas, turning the area into a neighborhood where tomorrow’s industry takes shape.

This year introduces new partner spaces, the return of initiatives like Incepted with Sony Music, FACE 2 FACE with Seedj, Club Lab with DJ Mag and we.grow by shesaid.so, alongside masterclasses and mentorship opportunities.

The 2025 lineup brings together key voices shaping the future of dance music including KETTAMA, Indira Paganotto, SPFDJ, Ron Trent and Octo Octa, plus creative sessions such as Building Your Artist Brand with DJ AG and Chlär: KERNEL, exploring sound and visual art intersections.

With its expanded layout and collaborative spirit, ADE Lab continues to empower emerging talent, offering a space to learn, experiment and connect during the world’s leading electronic music gathering.
