DGTL Expands Its ADE 2026 Run Across Two Amsterdam Venues
From Thursday, October 22 to Sunday, October 25, DGTL returns to Amsterdam Dance Event with a rich program featuring eight shows at two vibrant locations: the NDSM Warehouse and the Kromhouthal. This year’s DGTL ADE 2026 promises to enhance the festival experience with an expanded Amsterdam edition that provides a seamless blend of daytime showcases and late-night events.
Two Dynamic Venues
The addition of the Kromhouthal marks a strategic move to diversify the experience for attendees. This venue will host two special daytime shows apart from the main NDSM Warehouse events. On Saturday, October 24, Lane 8 presents “This Never Happened”, gracing the former industrial hall along the IJ river with an array of notable artists. Joining Lane 8 will be Yotto, Mees Salomé, Sultan + Shepard, Kasbo, and Ashibah, offering a midday showcase that’s themed around melodic house and progressive vibes. This concept is reinforced by the no-phone policy that allows attendees to fully immerse in the music and atmosphere.
On Sunday, Folamour will take center stage in Kromhouthal for his “All Day Long” show. This exclusive performance will span genres like disco, house, funk, and soul, creating a vibrant tapestry of sounds for festival-goers to enjoy in an extended set.
A Packed Lineup
The NDSM Warehouse will be bustling with activity, showcasing a schedule closely aligned with DGTL’s core identity. Kicking off with the DGTL Opening Day on Thursday, the energy builds through to Friday with Tinlicker’s anticipated live show. That same evening, the venue transitions into a progressive house and melodic techno atmosphere featuring Joris Voorn, Kevin de Vries, Miss Monique, Nicky Elisabeth, and NTO, setting the stage for an unforgettable night.
Saturday brings a distinctly curated experience with Shimza in charge for his first DGTL curation. He’ll headline a lineup featuring Âme DJ, Desiree, Bedouin, Arodes, and Stoffela. Later that night, the Novah & Friends set ushers in a vibrant mix with performers such as Ciara Cuvé and Øtta, infusing elements of hard techno, trance, bounce, and rave influences.
Generator and Frequency: The Event Identity
One of the unique features of DGTL ADE 2026 is the incorporation of the Generator stage into the daytime lineup. This festival-style setup brings a fresh identity to the ADE offerings, establishing a clear connection to the DGTL Festival’s ethos where music, art, sustainability, and social safety converge. In contrast, the Frequency stage will feature the late-night performances, further enhancing the appeal of the event.
This thoughtful segmentation of the event spaces not only shares the vibrant diversity of electronic music but also promotes a strong, recognizable brand for DGTL within the larger ADE landscape. The collaboration with powerful partners such as Monumental, known for their extensive work with the Awakenings brand, signals a dedication to sustainable practices and ecological awareness in the context of electronic music events.
