Your guide to Amsterdam Dance Event 2018

Amsterdam Dance Event returns for another exciting year with its jam-packed five-day event programme. In just over a month, the electronic music conference which takes place annually every mid-October, lands in the Netherlands capital once again for its 23rd edition. Running from October 17th – 21st, ADE offers visitors the finest selection of electronic music events with over 500 curated workshops, masterclasses, and conferences to choose from.

In 2017 the event saw over 2,500 artists from all around the world grace the city of Amsterdam and attract some 350,000+ visitors making it one of the busiest clubbing cities in the world. 2018 will be no different and no doubt set to surpass those figures. With that in mind, whether you’re a regular visitor or this is your first time, We Rave You are on hand to get you through with a guide to ADE 2018.

Amsterdam is going to be one busy city come mid-October so it is best to get pouncing on deals before everyone else soaks them up. If you’re travelling from afar, booking your flights as soon as possible means those airfares will most likely be the best rates on the market, only ever increasing in time the closer ADE gets. You can book your flights through ADE here. The same goes for accommodation, do you want the best spot in the city? Or even the best deal on a hotel? Getting a room sorted earlier will mean better location and cheaper prices.
