After welcoming a record-breaking 500,000 global visitors in 2023, Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) have revealed the first lineup of ADE Pro speakers and confirmed events.
None other than superstar hit makers Timbaland and Martin Garrix are set to share the stage at ADE Pro for a creative conversation not to be missed. In addition, ADE’s cross cultural partnership with Nigerian music & art platform HOMECOMING introduces the event’s founder Grace Ladoja to shed light on the Nigerian cultural scene and opportunities for African artists. HOMECOMING will also lead on African-facing curation, programming & initiatives across ADE 2024. One of London’s most famous and influential clubs, fabric, celebrates 25 years at ADE Pro this year with frequent collaborator Laurent Garnier. Fabric and Garnier have teamed up on the curation of their fabric mixes showcasing the club’s long musical legacy.
With the introduction of ADE’s new tailor made matchmaking experience, professionals can expect an innovative series of sessions designed to enrich their business at ADE Pro. The initial lineup of these sessions enable ADE Pro members to get up close and connect with the agents of WME, UTA, CAA, Primary and Wasserman, alongside the event organisers & promoters behind some of ADE’s most loved festival events including Awakenings, Intercell, Loveland, Insomniac Europe / AMF, DGTL, Shelter, BonBon, AVA, E&A Events, Thuishaven, Zeezout / Making Waves, and more.

In addition, the first promoters and organisers have confirmed their participation on the road to ADE Festival 2024.
