straf_werk ADE (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2025

About

When night falls over Amsterdam on October 25, 2025, a seismic shift will ripple through the city’s north end — not from traffic or trams, but from the melodic power gathering at De Kromhouthal. As part of Amsterdam Dance Event, straf_werk ADE 2025 returns to take over this industrial cathedral for a full-throttle night of cutting-edge electronic music festival that transcends borders, genres, and expectations.

Running from 23:00 to 07:00, this year’s edition fuses raw warehouse energy with the emotional depth of melodic techno and house. The stacked lineup features standout talents like Colyn, whose euphoric sound has become a staple of Afterlife and Burning Man stages, and the legendary Stephan Bodzin (live), delivering an analog performance that blurs the line between concert and club experience. Joining them are Fideles, bringing their Italian-crafted intensity; Layla Benitez and Olympe, two rapidly rising selectors reshaping the underground scene; and Franc Fala, adding a darker, textured layer to the night’s soundscape.

Set inside the steel bones of one of Amsterdam’s most iconic ADE venues, straf_werk offers more than a party — it’s an audiovisual pilgrimage. Towering LED panels, kinetic lighting, and immersive sound design will drench every inch of the space, making it a true sensory deep dive. It’s not just music — it’s momentum, built moment by moment across eight relentless hours.

straf_werk ADE has become a rite of passage for those who chase transcendence on the dancefloor. With a mix of seasoned ravers, international pilgrims, and hometown heads coming together in sync, this is more than an event — it’s one of ADE’s most unmissable, transformative nights.
