ADE 2026 Parties Day by Day: Times, Prices and What Is Sold Out, Wednesday to Monday

The best ADE 2026 parties you can still buy are fabric x Loud-Contact at WestWeelde on Friday 23 October, with Jeff Mills, FJAAK live, Marcel Dettmann and Helena Hauff on an extra release at EUR 69.75, and Adriatique all night long at Awakenings on Saturday 24 October, where the duo still play five and a half hours although the clocks go back. Both were on sale at the time of writing (mid October 2026). ADE declared the 30 YEARS ADE programme complete on Tuesday 6 October at 3,600+ artists, 1,300+ events and 300+ venues. This page cuts that to one table per day, Wednesday 21 to Monday 26 October, with programme times, the cheapest ticket and what is gone. For what ADE is and how it works, read our full ADE 2026 guide.

ADE 2026 parties at a glance

• Wednesday 21 October: LASTER presents Klockworks 20 Years, TILLATEC, from 23:00, on sale at the time of writing (mid October 2026), like every pick below.
• Thursday 22 October: Defected, Thuishaven, from 23:00, on sale.
• Friday 23 October: fabric x Loud-Contact, WestWeelde, from 22:00, on sale (extra release only).
• Saturday 24 October: Adriatique All Night Long, Awakenings at Sugarfactory, from 23:00, on sale (final release, flagged almost sold out).
• Sunday 25 October: Lost Miracle with Sébastien Léger and Roy Rosenfeld, IJver Amsterdam NDSM, from 14:00, on sale (final 300 tickets).
• Monday 26 October: VBX x fabric x Loud-Contact, TILLATEC, from 09:00, on sale in time slots.
• Already gone: Jean-Michel Jarre, every Gashouder show except Eric Prydz and AMF general admission are sold out at the time of writing (mid October 2026). Skepta's Más Tiempo is resale only on its promoter's page, though RA showed its EUR 77.80 tier as buyable again on 15 October. Every status here was checked on 12 and 13 October and again on Thursday 15 October.

Times are ADE programme times, Amsterdam time, or RA's for events outside the programme. "Price from" is the cheapest ticket on sale or, if sold out, the cheapest price that was listed; Resident Advisor (RA) prices include its booking fee. Status comes from the venue, the promoter's shop or RA, because ADE's own sold-out flags can lag: on 13 October ADE still showed Skepta's Más Tiempo as available. A Pro Pass is no shortcut: venues run a "full-for-now" policy, and whether the Pro Pass is worth it has its own page.

ADE Wednesday 21 October 2026: the parties

The big opening shows are sold out at the time of writing (mid October 2026): Jean-Michel Jarre at AFAS Live, KYBBA with the Metropole Orkest at Melkweg and Armin van Buuren with Benwal at Gashouder. MOJO's timetable, subject to change, has Jarre on from 21:00 to about 22:30, after Weval at 19:40. One trap: gashouder.nl's tiles show Armin at 21:00. That is UTC. The ADE programme and the ticket shop both say 23:00, and every Gashouder tile this week runs two hours early (one hour on Sunday, after the clocks change).

I would book Klockworks: Ben Klock's label turns 20 with DVS1 and Laia across nine hours, still EUR 38.65 on 13 October. The rest of the techno is in ADE 2026 techno and hard techno parties. The house option is by day: Chris Stassy, who changed the spelling of his name in August, goes back to back with Job Jobse in the former Bajes prison. Last entry is 19:00, and the ADE page still had no ticket link on 13 October.

ADE Thursday 22 October 2026: the parties

Thursday leans British: Defected and Glitterbox at Thuishaven and The Warehouse Project's 20th at Shelter. Louie Vega plays a boat. Eric Prydz is the one Gashouder show still on sale at the time of writing, done by 22:00, so you can add a club. KI/KI's Ziggo Dome nights are the open question: on 13 October MOJO's page showed a live buy button and no sold-out flag for both nights, but Ticketmaster could not be checked, so confirm there before you travel. Drumcode at Awakenings is sold out, and so are four more of its eight ADE shows; our Awakenings ADE 2026 guide has the timetables.

My pick is Defected: TSHA, Sam Divine and RUZE for EUR 29.95, less than half the price of KI/KI the same night.

ADE Friday 23 October 2026: the parties

Friday is the deepest night. fabric x Loud-Contact has the most RA interest of any Amsterdam event in ADE week, 1,700 people at the time of writing (mid October 2026); tiers one to seven and the final release are gone, and an extra release at EUR 69.75 was still on sale on 15 October. Mochakk's CALLING at Gashouder, with MPH, is sold out. Dave Clarke keeps Melkweg open to 07:30 on ADE's listing (RA says 08:00, Melkweg's own event data 06:30), with Daniel Avery b2b Richard Fearless and Luke Slater b2b Rene Wise (EUR 49 on the door). For bass, SHERELLE and Anz play BRET; the rest of the British sound is in ADE 2026 UK garage parties and London brands.

If the budget is gone by Friday, ADE free events 2026 lists the free strand.

ADE Saturday 24 October 2026: the parties

Saturday night has an extra hour. At 03:00 on Sunday 25 October the clocks go back to 02:00. Promoters use it differently: AMF's 20:00 to 06:00 summer-time slot ends at 05:00 on the new clock, and Awakenings closes at 06:00 instead of 07:00 while Adriatique still play five and a half hours. A party that ends at a fixed clock time runs an hour longer. UK clocks change the same night, so Amsterdam stays one hour ahead of London.

Sammy Virji Curates is sold out. Skepta's Más Tiempo had sold its only RA tier by 13 October and its promoter links only to TicketSwap resale, but on 15 October RA showed that EUR 77.80 tier as buyable again, with RA resale on; RA does not say whether these are resold tickets. AMF, with David Guetta's Monolith show, is down to VIP tickets, with general admission only through AMF's waiting list; see our AMF 2026 guide.

I would take Adriatique: five and a half hours from one act, and the EUR 69.95 final release was still on sale on 13 October. Sugarfactory is in Halfweg, across from Halfweg-Zwanenburg station; ADE from London covers getting there. To stay in town, Pan-Pot is the night buy and Ewan McVicar's Club Knuckles the day one.

ADE Sunday 25 October 2026: the parties and afters

Sunday is for afters and day parties, starting with Adriatique b2b Cloonee at The Loft at 07:00, which The Loft lists as sold out. Lost Miracle has the most RA interest of any party starting on Sunday and was still on sale at the time of writing; Josh Baker at Gashouder and Interplanetary Criminal at Bajes are sold out. London's FUSE takes the NDSM Warehouse with Enzo Siragusa, Luke Dean and Max Dean. At night, Prospa's Prophecy is sold out; Apollonia's VBX at Shelter runs to 09:00 on Monday and was still on sale.

ADE boat parties. The 11 listings tagged Boat Parties run Thursday to Saturday (two, five and four), none flagged sold out in the programme on 13 October. Untagged listings add more sailings, including a Wednesday afternoon canal cruise and one on Sunday. Nothing sails on Monday. The ones worth knowing:

• Thursday 22: Jackie's with Louie Vega, SUPPER Cruise, 19:30 to 00:00 (in the programme, not tagged).
• Friday 23: Ritter Butzke x Casa, SUPPER Cruise, 14:00 to 21:00; Nora En Pure presents Purified, Oceandiva Original, 15:00 to 22:00.
• Saturday 24: Deep Dish ADE Boat Party, Oceandiva Original, 15:00 to 23:00, with Sébastien Léger as special guest; a hard dance and techno boat closing, Eivissa Event Ship, 22:00 to 04:00.
• Last sailing: Amani Tribe x Sunny Groove Records, SUPPER Cruise, Sunday 17:00 to 22:00 (in the programme, not tagged).

ADE Monday 26 October 2026: the afters and closing parties

ADE ends on Sunday on paper. The programme still lists two Monday events, the ADE Closing Party at The Loft (line-up TBA) and Urge To Dance x Reconsider at Bar Feijoa. The bigger draws are not in the ADE programme: Más Tiempo by Skepta at The Loft from 07:00 (21+ on RA, line-up TBA, no tickets published on 13 October) and VBX x fabric x Loud-Contact at TILLATEC, sold in time slots from a 09:00 to 11:00 early-access ticket, so you can fit a slot in before a Monday flight.

For anything sold out, use official resale only; ADE 2026 resale tickets has every route.

FAQ

What are the best ADE parties in 2026?

The best still on sale at the time of writing (mid October 2026) are fabric x Loud-Contact at WestWeelde on Friday 23 October and Adriatique All Night Long at Awakenings on Saturday 24 October. The other days: Klockworks 20 Years (Wednesday), Defected (Thursday), Lost Miracle (Sunday) and VBX x fabric x Loud-Contact (Monday).

How many ADE events are on Friday and Saturday?

About 440 programme listings fall on Friday 23 October and about 380 on Saturday 24 October, counting daytime and arts events. On Friday, fabric x Loud-Contact, Dave Clarke at Melkweg, Avalon Emerson at Bajes and SHERELLE at BRET were all still on sale on 15 October.

What is on at ADE tonight?

Find today's table above: programme time, cheapest ticket and status for each night. Club nights selling on Resident Advisor are the easiest same-day buy on a phone. Every Gashouder show except Eric Prydz now sells only through Gashouder's official resale, and AMF general admission only through AMF's waiting list.

Is there an ADE afterparty on Sunday or Monday?

Yes. Sunday starts with Adriatique b2b Cloonee at The Loft at 07:00 (sold out), and Sunday night runs into Monday at Shelter (to 09:00), Bajes (to 07:00) and RADION (to 15:00, sold out, RA resale). On Monday, Más Tiempo by Skepta is at The Loft from 07:00, VBX x fabric x Loud-Contact runs at TILLATEC from 09:00 and the official ADE Closing Party starts at The Loft at 15:00.

Are there ADE boat parties in 2026?

Yes. The programme tags 11, all Thursday to Saturday, and lists untagged sailings too, including Jackie's Louie Vega cruise on Thursday, a Wednesday afternoon canal cruise and Amani Tribe x Sunny Groove Records on the SUPPER Cruise on Sunday (17:00 to 22:00). The biggest names are Louie Vega (Thursday), Nora En Pure (Friday) and Deep Dish (Saturday from 15:00), the last two on the Oceandiva Original. Nothing sails on Monday.

Is Dekmantel at ADE 2026?

No. There is no Dekmantel event in the official ADE 2026 programme, checked on 13 October 2026. Dekmantel's own festival ran from 29 July to 2 August 2026, with its main weekend in the Amsterdamse Bos.

Are Afterlife, Keinemusik or Circoloco at ADE 2026?

Not in the official programme. A search of the ADE listings on 13 October 2026 found no Afterlife, Keinemusik, Circoloco, KNTXT, ANTS, Hï Ibiza, Music On, Cercle, Boiler Room or Solid Grooves event. Drumcode, Defected and Glitterbox are on, all on Thursday 22 October.

Why does gashouder.nl show different times from ADE?

The tiles on gashouder.nl display UTC. Armin van Buuren and Benwal shows 21:00; the real start is 23:00 Amsterdam time, as the ADE programme and ticket shop give. After the clocks go back the gap is one hour, so Josh Baker's tile says 13:30 for a 14:30 start.

Does the clock change affect ADE parties?

Yes, on Saturday night. At 03:00 on Sunday 25 October the clocks go back to 02:00. AMF ends at 05:00 on the new clock and Awakenings at 06:00 instead of 07:00, but a party with a fixed clock finish gives you an extra hour.
