DGTL has revealed its full program for Amsterdam Dance Event 2026, returning from October 22-25 with four days of electronic music spread across the NDSM Warehouse and Kromhouthal in Amsterdam-Noord.
This year’s edition will feature eight separate events, ranging from large-scale live performances and artist-curated showcases to intimate daytime gatherings and late-night club experiences. The lineup reflects the broad spectrum of today’s electronic music scene, bringing together established headliners, emerging talent, and genre-defying artists from around the world.
One of the biggest additions to the ADE program is the arrival of DGTL’s iconic Generator stage. A longtime favorite at DGTL Festival, Generator will make its ADE debut as the centerpiece of the daytime events, while the nighttime shows will take place in the equally impressive Frequency space.
The weekend opens on Thursday, October 22, with a spotlight on a new wave of artists blurring the lines between genres. Acts including Benwal, Helena Lauwaert, Lammer, Paige Tomlinson, and Olive Anguz will bring together elements of trance, hard house, eurodance, and progressive club music in a program focused on high energy and emotional connection.
Meanwhile, the Frequency stage will lean into UK club culture with appearances from DJ EZ, Dr Dubplate & Locky, and MPH. Drawing from garage, bass music, and sound system traditions, the lineup showcases sounds that continue to influence dance floors around the globe.
Friday sees Dutch duo Tinlicker take over the NDSM Warehouse for a special live performance. Over the past decade, Tinlicker has evolved from underground favorites into one of electronic music’s most respected live acts, known for blending melodic storytelling with powerful dance floor moments. The ADE show will feature special guests, with additional names to be announced in the coming months.
Later that night, the focus shifts toward melodic house and techno with a lineup featuring Joris Voorn, Kevin de Vries, Miss Monique, Nicky Elisabeth, and NTO performing live. Each artist brings a distinct approach to building atmosphere and tension, creating a night designed for fans of deep melodies, soaring synths, and immersive club journeys.
Saturday’s daytime program belongs to Shimza, who has been given the opportunity to curate an entire DGTL event for the first time. The South African DJ and producer has assembled a lineup that reflects the increasingly global reach of Afro house and melodic electronic music, featuring Âme DJ & Desiree, Bedouin, Arodes, and Stoffela. The result is a program that draws influence from multiple continents while highlighting the growing international appeal of the genre.
Additional performances throughout the day will come from artists including JAMIIE & Meera, NIOMII, and NOVA, adding even more variety to an already expansive lineup.
As the sun goes down, Belgian techno star Novah takes over with Novah & Friends, a night dedicated to fast-paced techno, trance, and rave culture. Joined by Ciara Cuvé & Ueberrest, EMILIJA & Faster Horses, Øtta and a special guest, plus STAFFY, Novah’s showcase promises one of the weekend’s most energetic and uncompromising dance floors.
Away from the NDSM Warehouse, DGTL will also host two special daytime events at the Kromhouthal, each built around a single artist’s vision.
On Saturday, Lane 8 brings his globally successful This Never Happened concept to Amsterdam. Known for its no-phone policy and emphasis on living in the moment, the brand has grown from a series of intimate events into a worldwide community. Joined by Yotto, Mees Salomé, Sultan + Shepard, Kasbo, and Ashibah, Lane 8 will deliver a day of melodic house and progressive sounds designed to be experienced rather than documented.
The weekend comes to a close on Sunday with a special All Day Long performance from Folamour. The French favorite has built a devoted following thanks to his ability to effortlessly blend disco, house, funk, and soul into joyful, uplifting sets. His extended closing performance promises a fitting finale to four days of music, community, and celebration.
With a program that spans everything from melodic house and Afro house to UK bass, hard techno, trance, and live electronic performances, DGTL’s ADE 2026 schedule once again highlights why the event remains one of the most anticipated destinations during Amsterdam Dance Event. Whether you’re looking for intimate daytime discoveries or unforgettable late-night moments, DGTL is offering something for every corner of the electronic music spectrum.
