ADE 2022 – Best Amsterdam Dance Event Venues

If you are a festival veteran, you might already know that Amsterdam Dance Event is that bad boy who spreads its tentacles to over 200 venues in the Dutch capital. 

Since it is physically impossible to get a taste of each and every party destination, we’ve rounded up the ADE 2022 venues that are worth a visit. From the larger-than-life Johan Cruijff ArenA to historically rich nightlife hubs like Panama, we have them all covered for you.

Nestled on the 18th floor of an eponymous commercial and business tower in Overhoeks north Amsterdam, A’dam & Co. is a members-only creative space with many inquisitive art devotees. 

The club boasts 360° views of the city and waters, welcoming festival-goers to towering heights in this ADE 2022 edition. A’dam & Co. has an undeniable ritzy vibe, accentuated by gold-draped interior and breathtaking – pun intended – terrace.

Thuishaven will be home to partiers in this year’s ADE madness, delivering a massive ground (with a capacity of 3,000+) which lends itself to many activities in Amsterdam’s west. Though the venue has an earthy feel, it is surrounded by industrial plants overlooking streams.

What makes Thuishaven an ideal choice for ADE events is its dynamic space which transforms and adapts for the festival mammoth. Bars, stages, and tent spots make Thuishaven a music-fuelled labyrinth open for exploration.

Pllek is for the festival-goers seeking breezy dance nights amid the music chaos in north Amsterdam.

The ADE 2022 venue is an intimate entertainment complex embodying a restaurant, spacious terrace, and music venue on NDSM, a former harbor wharf. Its industrial setting, with a capacity of over 800, suits ADE shenanigans and hits the spot for laid-back ravers seeking to admire the starry Amsterdam sky.

The iconic, grungy, and effortlessly hedonistic Hemkade 48 – AKA North Sea Venue – will welcome ADE festival-hoppers in this 2022 edition for the ‘it’ partying session. Hemkade 48 is a former factory with sweeping views of the North Sea Canal.

The industrial and raw venue is a maze with five rooms and an outdoor area, creating the ultimate rave experience for those who want to get lost in sound and space. If you want a party with over 3,000 electro-heads, Amsterdam Dance Event and Hemkade 48 are happy to comply.

In the ADE 2022 edition, you can witness how Johan Cruijff ArenA turns into a mega-club. The south Amsterdam stadium and concert venue – home to Ajax FC – will bear witness to one of ADE’s core events as its 55,000 capacity wows partiers.

With a history of hosting music legends like Mick Jagger, you should prepare for a mind-blowing ADE event.

The 52-year-old art and nightlife hub Melkweg is a much-awaited pit stop for ADE pleasure seekers.

Nestled in central Amsterdam’s renowned Leidseplein neighborhood, Melkweg is a former milk factory that harmoniously blends a misty ambiance with an industrial vibe. Over 1000 ADE attendees are expected to turn up and get turnt up in Melkweg’s many rooms.

Jazz it up this ADE 2022 edition at Bimhuis, a jazz club loaning its space to Amsterdam’s largest festival. The club is difficult to miss as it stands majestically in a black, spacious, futuristic structure right by the water.

The ADE 2022 venue is in northeast Amsterdam and is part of Muziekgebouw, the city’s most famous concert hall for classical music.

Unparalleled acoustics in a palatial setting? Count us in. Het Concertgebouw is one of the world’s most respected concert halls, standing gloriously since 1888.

The ADE 2022 venue fittingly resides in southwest Amsterdam’s Museumkwartier, just a stone’s throw away from The Van Gogh Museum. Among many electronic gods, Nicolas Jaar has performed at the Amsterdam Dance Event venue.

What used to be a storage tank is now an awe-inspiring techno temple in central Amsterdam.

Located in Westergas northwest of Amsterdam, Gashouder is an event space that found shelter within the walls of a former factory. What best characterizes it is the iron-clad and uber spacious interior. You can join the ranks of over 6,000 electronic devotees in this ADE 2022 edition at Gashouder.

NDSM is joining this ADE 2022 edition as a lusted-after Amsterdam venue. The former harbor wharf holds many nightlife attractions, such as the Faralda Crane Hotel, and sits right by Amsterdam’s north waterfront.

The space is enormous and usually used for commercial purposes, but ADE 2022 will take over NDSM’s Plein 58, a warehouse dedicated to the rowdiest raves.

The long-standing Panama club is an unmissable ADE 2022 stop.

Dedicated to electronic beats and industrial feels, this clubbing destination resides in a century-old warehouse overlooking the stream. Over the years, Panama has hosted an army of international and local talents, etching a name for itself in Amsterdam’s nightlife.

The music mecca is no stranger to the ADE festival, as its accommodating two-leveled interior hosted multiple ADE events over the years.

A multi-sensory affair awaits this ADE 2022 edition as Supperclub takes over the spotlight. This theater-hall-turned-club in central Amsterdam features many levels and spacious rooms, leaving room for ravers to show off their dance moves in a monumental and elegant spot.

Supperclub usually hosts avant-garde events which usually translate into acrobatic shows and burlesque dancers – so keep it in your nightlife roster.

Music heroes such as Celine Dion and Dave Chappelle are just two of the artists that rocked Ziggo Dome’s jaw-dropping stage. The ADE 2022 venue is highly revered and fully equipped, as it can host over 15,000 festival-goers.
