ADE 2026 Events by Venue: What’s On Where, Night by Night
ADE 2026 runs 21 to 25 October. We sorted all 378 club nights by venue and RSVPs: Jeff Mills at WestWeelde, Klockworks at TILLATEC, Awakenings, DGTL, Loveland and more.
Amsterdam Dance Event turns 30 this week, and from Wednesday 21 to Sunday 25 October the programme spreads across more venues than most cities have clubs. We went through all 378 club nights listed in and around Amsterdam for ADE week, sorted them by venue and counted RSVPs, so you can see where the crowds are heading before you choose a door.
The short version: Jeff Mills at WestWeelde on Friday is the most-RSVP’d night of the week, Klockworks turning 20 at TILLATEC owns Wednesday, and three venues, WestWeelde, Het Sieraad and Bajes Amsterdam, each draw more interest across the week than any single festival brand.
The busiest night of each ADE day
| Day | Night | Venue | RSVPs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wed 21 Oct | LASTER presents Klockworks 20 Years | TILLATEC | 1,258 |
| Thu 22 Oct | Miss Monique presents Siona | Het Sieraad | 990 |
| Fri 23 Oct | fabric x Loud-Contact: Jeff Mills, FJAAK (live), Marcel Dettmann, Helena Hauff | WestWeelde | 1,737 |
| Sat 24 Oct | Sasha b2b Patrice Bäumel, 6 hours | Het Sieraad | 937 |
| Sun 25 Oct | Lost Miracle with Sébastien Léger and Roy Rosenfeld | Ijver | 779 |
Friday is the peak of the week with 107 listed nights, followed by Saturday with 94 and Thursday with 77. Wednesday (48) and Sunday (52) are quieter, which makes them the easiest days to get into the bigger rooms.

Planning around the listings
Day parties start early: Into the Woods, Kompakt and the 909 day party all begin between 12:00 and 15:00, so a Friday or Saturday can easily hold a day event and a night event. Two venues sit outside the city: Sugarfactory is in Halfweg and Hemkade 48 is in Zaandam, so check the last train before you plan an after-party there.
Line-ups and sold-out notices change daily during ADE week. We keep every club night in and around Amsterdam for the week in the Club nights view of the Techno Airlines app, where you can filter by day or search an artist across all listings (iOS, Android). For passes and the conference side, see our ADE pass guide, and for a shorter pick of shows, our ADE 2026 tip list. Everything else is on the Amsterdam Dance Event 2026 page.
