The Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) is a vibrant celebration of electronic music that transforms the city into a pulsating dance floor, from ornate churches to gritty industrial spaces. This year, the renowned DJ and producer Martin Garrix is set to amplify that experience by partnering with STMPD RCRDS to host a unique pop-up event within the confines of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Scheduled for Wednesday, October 21, from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM, this invitation-only event will welcome dance enthusiasts arriving from around the globe to the electric atmosphere of a live show, swapping out the mundane sounds of baggage claim for beats that invigorate the spirit of the ADE.
STMPD Heavy Hitters on Deck
While Martin Garrix will reserve his spectacular arena production for the main ADE event the following night, he is enlisting the help of his talented roster to turn the airport terminal into an exhilarating party space. The lineup features heavy hitters from the STMPD family, including Julian Jordan and Brooks, both known for their ability to energize crowds with their infectious electro-house tracks. Their years of experience in crafting catchy, bouncy tunes make them the perfect fit for this immersive airport dance experience.
Joining them are rising stars Citadelle, a French duo making waves with their innovative sound, and Nova Blue, whose fast-rising popularity in the EDM scene attests to their talent. Together, this dynamic lineup promises to deliver a range of pulsating beats, melding the familiar thump of house music with the acoustics of an airport terminal, creating an unforgettable auditory journey for attendees.
Part of a Massive 10th-Year Celebration
The pop-up event is not just another gig; it is part of a grand celebration for STMPD RCRDS as the label commemorates its 10th anniversary this year. Throughout 2026, the label has been unveiling a celebratory world tour featuring sold-out performances across the United States, Canada, Japan, and Brazil, solidifying its status as a powerhouse in the electronic music scene. This intimate airport event serves as an electrifying precursor to STMPD’s major label night on October 22 at AFAS Live, where Garrix will join artists such as DubVision, Third Party, and Matisse & Sadko to captivate a larger audience.
How to Get In
Due to the location’s active status as an international flight hub, access to this exclusive event is highly restricted. Invitations and access details will be available through STMPD RCRDS and Schiphol’s official social media platforms leading up to the date. For those arriving in Amsterdam during this time, the excitement doesn’t end with landing. Keep your notifications active—if luck is on your side, you might just step off the plane and into a spirited rave, marking an unforgettable beginning to your ADE experience.
