Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2026
Doors open at 18:30; showtime is 20:00, with the evening typically wrapping around 23:00. This is a Jean-Michel Jarre headline show rather than a multi-artist bill. The set and visual narrative unfold live: Jarre has said he wants to move from track to track through new atmospheres, stage designs and large-scale projections so the night stays with the audience long after.
Beyond the concert, Jarre’s ADE 2026 presence includes further formats such as ADE Pro. Always check AFAS Live and MOJO for the latest timetable and house rules; published times can change.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Amsterdam
- Getting there: AFAS Live is at Johan Cruijff Boulevard 590, opposite Johan Cruijff ArenA. Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA station (metro lines 50/54 and NS trains) is a 3–4 minute walk; Schiphol is about 15–20 minutes by train. Public transport is strongly recommended; the station can be crowded after the show.
- Parking: Several car parks serve the ArenA district (including P1-Transferium). The venue prefers public transport. Accessible spaces are limited and often require a valid EU disability badge.
- Where to stay: Amsterdam and especially Zuidoost book up fast during ADE — reserve early near Bijlmer ArenA, Duivendrecht or the city centre.
- Venue rules: Cashless only (Maestro, VISA, Mastercard). Return cups and bottles to the bar. There is no storage for confiscated bags — check the bag policy in advance.
- Accessibility: Level ground-floor access and accessible toilets with emergency buttons. See the AFAS Live FAQ for details. Have mobile tickets ready; if several tickets sit in one account, the whole group must enter together.
