Our roundup brings together official lineup confirmations from venues like Shelter, De School, and Melkweg alongside underground showcases that fly under the radar.
What you get
You access curated lineup information organized by venue, day, and genre preference. Our editors pull together verified artist appearances from official announcements, promotional materials, and direct venue confirmations. Each entry includes the performing artist name, set time when available, and venue location so you can plan your night without jumping between dozens of sources.
How to find artists and parties fast
Search functionality lets you filter by artist name or jump directly to specific days. We organize entries chronologically within each day, starting from afternoon showcases through late-night sessions that run past dawn. You can scan headliners first, then dig into supporting acts as you build your personal schedule.
The best ADE experiences happen when you balance must-see headliners with unexpected discoveries at smaller venues.
How to cross-check times and venues
Each lineup entry links back to official venue pages where you can verify door times and ticket availability. We update information as schedule changes roll in, which happens frequently during ADE week. You should always confirm final details with the venue directly before heading out, especially for smaller parties that might adjust capacity limits.
