Their collaboration with Anjunadeep will take you through waves of sound, keeping things smooth and powerful. You can expect a dedicated crowd and a night where the beats flow and the emotions run high.

Into The Woods
ADE’s only outdoor festival, Into The Woods, feels like a breath of fresh air in the middle of all the chaos. Taking place at NDSM Wharf, the festival seamlessly mixes the industrial and the creative with an array of sounds across eight stages. It’s not just about the music; it’s the art installations, the vibe and the opportunity to immerse yourself in something totally new and fresh. The atmosphere of this place is relaxed, but the crowd still has that vibe to keep you going, which is a great mix for anyone looking for something different from their ADE experience.
