Enjoy eight spectacular events from October 22 to 25 at NDSM Warehouse and Kromhouthal, Amsterdam
From Thursday, October 22 to Sunday, October 25, DGTL returns to Amsterdam Dance Event with a program spanning eight events across two venues: NDSM Warehouse and Kromhouthal. Over the course of four days, DGTL will bring together different currents of electronic music, from large-scale live performances and carefully curated daytime programs to club concepts featuring both established artists and emerging talents. Guided by its own musical vision, each event will explore a different facet of electronic music.
For the first time, DGTL will bring its entire Generator stage concept to its ADE daytime program. This iconic stage has long been one of the most beloved areas of DGTL Festival. Meanwhile, the nighttime events will take place in Frequency, promising an equally impactful experience.
Thursday, October 22 – DGTL Opening Day
The opening day will be dedicated to a new generation of artists who move effortlessly between different currents of electronic music. In Generator, influences from trance, hard house, eurodance and progressive club music come together in sets focused on energy, emotion and movement.
With Benwal, Helena Lauwaert, Lammer, Paige Tomlinson and Olive Anguz, DGTL presents a selection of artists that reflects a growing trend within contemporary electronic music, where genre boundaries continue to blur and a new generation of clubbers is becoming less constrained by traditional labels.
In Frequency, the spotlight shifts to UK club culture with key artists such as DJ EZ, Dr Dubplate & Locky and MPH. Rooted in garage, bass music and sound system traditions, this line-up represents a side of electronic music that has had a major influence on dance floors far beyond the United Kingdom in recent years.
Friday, October 23 – Tinlicker & Special Guests
Friday night will be dedicated to Tinlicker. The Dutch duo will present an extensive live show at NDSM Warehouse, joined by several special guests whose names will be announced soon.
Tinlicker’s roots run deep within the underground scene, where they continue to enjoy a loyal following. However, over the past few years they have evolved into one of the most respected live acts in electronic music, seamlessly connecting concert halls, festivals and clubs around the world.
Their performances move between introspective moments and euphoric peaks, making them equally suited to attentive listening and packed dance floors. Their DGTL ADE special promises to be an evening where the line between concert and club night completely disappears.
Friday, October 23 – Friday Night
Later that evening, NDSM Warehouse will host a nighttime program centered around melody, progression and atmosphere.
With Joris Voorn, Kevin de Vries, Miss Monique, Nicky Elisabeth and NTO (live), DGTL presents a line-up of artists who each work in their own way with long-form musical development, layered productions and carefully crafted sets.
From NTO’s warm and emotional approach to Kevin de Vries’ large-scale productions, alongside the distinctive styles of Joris Voorn and Miss Monique, the night will journey through the worlds of progressive house, melodic techno and everything in between.
Saturday, October 24 – Shimza & Co
For the first time, South African DJ and producer Shimza will curate an entire DGTL event. Alongside artists such as Âme DJ & Desiree, Bedouin, Arodes and Stoffela, he will present a program where influences from different continents, scenes and musical traditions come together.
Shimza belongs to a generation of artists who have played a key role in bringing Afro house to a much wider audience in recent years while maintaining a strong connection to the genre’s South African roots. His curation reflects this evolution and brings together artists who, from their own cultural backgrounds, contribute to an increasingly international musical landscape.
In Frequency, DGTL will also present a complementary program featuring performances by JAMIIE & Meera, NIOMII and NOVA (Philou Louzolo & Cincity), among others.
Saturday, October 24 – Novah & Friends
As Saturday night falls, Novah takes control of a club night dedicated to speed, intensity and rave culture.
Over the past few years, the Belgian DJ has built a strong reputation through sets in which techno, trance and rave influences move at a relentless pace. With performances by Ciara Cuvé & Ueberrest, EMILIJA & Faster Horses, Øtta & Special Guest, STAFFY and Novah herself, the night promises an explosive meeting point between hard techno, bounce and rave energy.
DGTL ADE at Kromhouthal
In addition to the NDSM Warehouse program, ADE 2026 will also feature two daytime DGTL events at Kromhouthal in Amsterdam Noord.
This former industrial warehouse on the banks of the IJ River will host two concepts in which a single artist takes center stage and is given the opportunity to shape an entire day of programming.
On Saturday, Lane 8 will bring his This Never Happened concept to Kromhouthal, while Sunday will be entirely dedicated to Folamour All Day Long.
Saturday, October 24 – Lane 8 presents This Never Happened
Lane 8 brings his globally acclaimed This Never Happened concept to Amsterdam.
The name refers to the no-phone policy that has been an essential part of the concept since its inception. What began as a series of events has evolved into a record label, event platform and community with a clearly recognizable musical identity.
Together with Yotto, Mees Salomé, Sultan + Shepard, Kasbo and Ashibah, Lane 8 will present a daytime program focused on melodic house, progressive influences and carefully crafted sets.
Sunday, October 25 – Folamour All Day Long
French crowd favorite Folamour will close the weekend with an exclusive All Day Long performance.
Moving effortlessly between disco, house, funk and soul, Folamour is internationally recognized for his extended sets where multiple musical influences converge.
A warm, uplifting and celebratory finale filled with positive energy to bring DGTL ADE 2026 to a memorable close.
