ADE 2026 venues grouped by area, with the main events in each and how to reach them.
ADE 2026 spreads over more than 300 venues, from the NDSM wharf to a sugar factory outside the city. The smartest plan is one area per night. This guide groups the main venues by area and says how to get there.
For the full overview, start with the ADE 2026 guide.
Facts checked on 22 October 2026. Line-ups, sold-out status and transport plans change daily, so confirm on the organiser page before you go.
The NDSM wharf hosts DGTL ADE at the Scheepsbouwloods (Thursday to Sunday), Into the Woods ADE and Pllek. Near the A'DAM Tower, Shelter (Overhoeksplein 3) runs its ADE programme, and the A'DAM Toren hosts a Wednesday event. Reach Noord with the free ferries behind Centraal; for ADE the Buiksloterweg ferry runs more often and the NDSM ferry sails all night on Saturday and Sunday nights, according to NH Nieuws.

West is the warehouse side of ADE: Het Sieraad, LOFI, BRET, Thuishaven and Warehouse Elementenstraat, plus listed events at WestWeelde, TILLATEC and RAWFACTORY. BRET is a short walk from Sloterdijk station. Read Amsterdam West nightlife.
Paradiso and Melkweg Club are both a short walk from the Leidseplein tram stop. Melkweg hosts Dave Clarke's 30 Years of ADE night on Friday; Paradiso lists Speedy J and Donato Dozzy. Read Amsterdam centre nightlife.
The big arenas: the Johan Cruijff ArenA (AMF on Saturday), Ziggo Dome (Black Coffee, KI/KI) and AFAS Live. They share the Bijlmer ArenA station area, served by trains and by metro lines 50 and 54. See AMF 2026.
The ADE Lab Village is in Westerpark (Cultural Park Westergas), and Gashouder is on the same grounds. The ADE Pro conference is mainly at Felix Meritis, with Business Hubs at Felix Meritis and the Andaz Hotel.
The Sugarfactory is at Kristalpromenade 7, 1165 PD Halfweg. Halfweg-Zwanenburg station is directly opposite, with four Sprinter trains an hour and a journey of about 10 minutes from Amsterdam Centraal. The venue has parking next to it. Check the last train home before you go, because Awakenings runs late.
Several listed venues, such as Mediahaven, Havenpark, Ijver, Klaproos and Bajes, are not on NightFind yet. Check each organiser's page for the address.

The Sugarfactory in Halfweg, where Awakenings holds eight events during ADE 2026.

Far enough to plan one area per night. Noord, West, the centre and Zuidoost are different parts of the city.
