DGTL unveils full ade 2026 program across eight events in amsterdam
Amsterdam’s DGTL has revealed its complete program for ADE 2026, returning from October 22–25 with eight events spread across the NDSM Warehouse and Kromhouthal.
Blending large-scale live productions, curated showcases and club-focused programming, this year’s edition reflects the breadth of contemporary electronic music, from UK bass culture and progressive sounds to Afro house, melodic techno and modern rave.
One of the major additions for 2026 sees DGTL bringing its iconic Generator stage into the ADE daytime program for the first time, while the nighttime events will take place inside the festival’s Frequency concept.
The opening day on October 22 focuses on a new generation of artists pushing beyond traditional genre boundaries. Benwal, Helena Lauwaert, LAMMER, Paige Tomlinson and Olive Anguz headline the Generator stage, while DJ EZ, Dr Dubplate & Locky and MPH lead a Frequency takeover rooted in UK garage, bass and soundsystem culture.
Friday sees Dutch duo Tinlicker present a special live show featuring guests yet to be announced. Later that night, Joris Voorn, Kevin de Vries, Miss Monique, Nicky Elisabeth and NTO (live) take over the NDSM Warehouse with a program centred around melodic house, progressive sounds and cinematic techno.
Saturday marks Shimza’s first full DGTL curation. The South African artist brings together Âme DJ, Desiree, Bedouin, Arodes and Stoffela for a showcase exploring the growing global influence of Afro house and cross-cultural electronic music.
As night falls, Belgian rising star Novah takes control with a high-energy lineup featuring Ciara Cuvé, Ueberrest, EMILIJA, Faster Horses, Øtta and additional guests, delivering a program focused on hard techno, trance-infused rave energy and contemporary club culture.
Alongside the NDSM Warehouse events, DGTL will also host two special daytime concepts at Amsterdam’s Kromhouthal. On Saturday, Lane 8 brings his globally recognised This Never Happened concept to the city, joined by Yotto, Mees Salomé, Sultan + Shepard, Kasbo and Ashibah. The event continues the project’s signature no-phone philosophy and focus on immersive melodic house experiences.
The ADE weekend concludes on Sunday with Folamour All Day Long. Known for his ability to weave together house, disco, funk and soul across extended performances, the French artist will close the festival with an exclusive marathon set.
Tickets for DGTL ADE 2026 go on presale on June 24 at 16:00 CEST, with general sale beginning June 25 at 16:00 CEST via DGTL’s official channels.
DGTL ADE 2026 takes place October 22–25 at the NDSM Warehouse and Kromhouthal in Amsterdam.
