Three days, three distinct sounds and dance floors filled with people from around the world.
Amsterdam Dance Event brought Wavy x NEXUP, No Art and GOLFOS to TAETS, with each event giving our spaces a different character.
From back-to-back sets to a colourful outdoor main stage, here’s how our ADE programme unfolded.
Wavy x NEXUP opened our ADE programme with a line-up packed with rising stars. NEXUP founder Max Dean was joined by DJs including Luke Dean, TEEDEE and Locky, bringing the next wave of UK house to TAETS.
With a programme built almost entirely around back-to-back sets, collaboration was at the heart of the night. DJs shared the booth, traded tracks and brought their individual sounds together, while an international crowd gathered on the dance floor.
Even Skepta joined the crowd as Wavy x NEXUP set the tone for the days ahead.
For our second day of ADE, No Art transformed TAETS with its recognisable colourful aesthetic.
Across two stages, the event offered contrasting settings: a tent in our outdoor area housed the main stage, while the Black Box provided a darker, more intimate atmosphere.
Chris Stussy returned to familiar ground after his 10-hour set at TAETS on August 15. Toman also took to the outdoor main stage, while Brunello added his own take on house to the programme.
A last-minute addition to the line-up, Prospa stepped in for Job Jobse and did not disappoint.
The duo brought the sound that has been winning over dance floors around the world, with “Think of You” providing a moment to remember.
Amsterdam duo ANOTR closed the day in style, delivering the final set on the outdoor main stage and rounding off a day that brought No Art’s music, community and visual identity together.
Our third and final day belonged to GOLFOS, with PAWSA and Dennis Cruz taking over at TAETS. Bringing the two artists together, the event gave our ADE programme another distinct musical direction.
Their shared focus on groove kept the dance floor at the centre of the experience.
After Wavy x NEXUP’s back-to-back energy and No Art’s colourful takeover, GOLFOS brought the weekend to a close with a sound and atmosphere of its own.
Across the three days, ADE showed how differently TAETS can take shape. Each organisation brought its own audience, production and musical identity, turning the same grounds into three individual experiences.
Thank you to the organisers, artists, production teams and everyone who joined us on the dance floor. You made this ADE one to remember.
