DGTL ADE 2026: Sustainable Techno Festival in Amsterdam

Welcome to DGTL ADE 2026 in Amsterdam

From October 22 to 25, 2026, the former shipyard grounds of NDSM in Amsterdam North once again become a stage for electronic music. DGTL ADE takes place during Amsterdam Dance Event week and, for the first time, spans two venues, the NDSM Warehouse and the Kromhouthal, across a total of eight events.

Highlights and Attractions at DGTL ADE in Amsterdam

• Eight standalone events spread across two industrial waterfront venues
• Sound ranging from techno and house to eurodance and UK garage
• The signature Generator stage concept makes its debut at Amsterdam Dance Event
• Striking light shows and stage designs set within raw industrial architecture
• Fully plant based and organically produced food across the entire site
• A completely cashless payment system using card or smartphone
• A strong focus on sustainability, including a ban on single use items

Program and Schedule: What to Expect in 2026

The eight events are spread across the four festival days, ranging from afternoon programs to sets running into the early morning. Each event carries its own musical theme, from a high energy opening built around eurodance and UK garage to deep techno and house nights curated by rotating artists and collectives. The full line up and exact times for each event will be announced on the official website throughout the year.

Tickets and Admission for DGTL ADE Amsterdam

Because DGTL ADE consists of eight separate events, a dedicated ticket is required for each one rather than a single all access festival pass. Prices per event typically fall in the range of about 25 to 45 euros, with exact amounts set individually by the organizer for each event. Ticket sales are already underway; tickets are sealed and only become available for personalization shortly before the festival. Resale through partner TicketSwap is capped at a maximum of 20 percent above the original price.

Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation in Amsterdam

• The easiest route from Amsterdam Central Station is the ferry to NDSM, with extra ferries added during the festival
• Cycling is also a good option starting from the Buiksloterweg ferry stop
• Traveling by car is discouraged, since no visitor parking is available on site
• Accommodation in Amsterdam North or near Central Station should be booked early given the busy ADE week
• Since tickets are sold per event, buying early for the most popular nights is recommended
