David Guetta is set to make a grand return to Amsterdam’s Johan Cruijff ArenA for AMF 2026, bringing along his groundbreaking Monolith Show for its festival debut. Scheduled for October 24 during the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), this marks Guetta’s re-entry to the AMF stage after a six-year hiatus, setting the stage for a night that promises to be nothing short of spectacular.
The timing of Guetta’s highly anticipated return is not just coincidental.

Guetta’s Monolith Show is described as his most ambitious production to date, with a comprehensive stadium concept that promises a mesmerizing experience for all attendees.
So, what exactly can fans expect from The Monolith Show? This innovative production features a monumental vertical LED monolith at its core, expertly integrated with immersive 3D mapping and a sophisticated lighting system. The shows have already made waves across Europe, with Guetta performing three consecutive sold-out nights at the prestigious Stade de France, captivating approximately 60,000 fans each night. He has further dazzled audiences with a headline slot along Belgium’s stunning Zeebrugge beach. These shows demonstrate the awe-inspiring scale and technical brilliance of The Monolith, as stadiums are transformed into stunning audiovisual realms.
The Monolith Show is built around Guetta’s innovative ‘Future Rave’ sound. Attendees can expect a high-energy, cinematic experience that pushes the envelope of live music performance. This ambitious production signifies a pivotal development for AMF, continuing its evolution under Insomniac Europe’s vision. The festival is placing greater emphasis on large-scale and immersive concepts, solidifying its status as the world’s largest nightclub.
