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.

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.
