TANK recommends: the best ADE parties by day

As ADE is about to take over Amsterdam for the next week, TANK sifts through the program to find the best parties for every night.

Wednesday

PIP x RRFM @ Radio Radio

What better way to start your ADE than at Radio Radio. This local favorite is hidden in Amsterdam's Westergas area (which is a must-visit in itself) and boasts a nice restaurant, a sunny terrace, and a small inside bar hosting a plethora of local DJ talent. The Hague's PIP starts ADE off in style at Radio Radio, so make sure to hop by or join in on their live stream.

Thursday

Ransom Note at Borisov

Ransom Note (one of our favorite music platforms), knows how to please a Dutch crowd by throwing a free party on Thursday. The line-up is pure gold, featuring Aleksa Aleksa and Timothy Clerkin. It's all happening at new Amsterdam hotspot Borisov, just above the Westerpark.

Friday

Bordello A Parigi - 10 Years Anniversary @ Noorderlicht

Combine our favorite recordstore in Amsterdam with some of the biggest names in Dutch Italo at Noorderlicht and you will get one hell of a party. We can't imagine a better way to celebrate 10 years of Bordello A Parigi. Our congratulations to them and keep it coming for another 10 years!

Brighter Days @ Doka

Hosted in the basement of a former newspaper's office, Doka is a renown favorite of the Amsterdam crowd. Boasting an amazing sound system in a nice intimate space, this is an amazing place to see local stalwarts Kamma & Masalo host an evening.

DJ Bone's Homeless Homies @ Radion

DJ Bone gathers a mouth-watering line-up in Radion for a benefit festival. If you want to see some nice big names and support a good cause, look no further.

Saturday

Radio TNP presents @ Cinetol

This is the type of small-scale event we love at ADE. With an impressive line-up cramming three stages in the cozy Cinetol, you're sure to have a good time here. Barbara Boeing helms a line-up consisting mostly of local talent, so get your disco vibes on!

Into The Woods ADE Festival 2021

The Dutch Festival Summer was a disappointment, but we are pretty sure that the ADE edition of Into The Woods Festival will make all of that go away! Over 8 stages, the creativity of the Kultlab organization, and many big names on the line-up will make this definitely the biggest festival of the ADE week.

Sunday

Breakfast Club @ Radion

Yes, they actually serve breakfast at this party. Also, their Sunday edition has one of the best line-ups of the whole ADE, combining Ben UFO, Marcel Dettmann and Laurine.

Festimi @ De Werf

The North of Amsterdam boasts a lot of amazing spaces, but De Werf is arguably one the coolest of them. This run down factory provides a dystopian background to Festimi's not so dystopian line-up featuring Hunee and Byron Yeates among others. Make sure to stop by on of their neighboring breweries Oedipus or Walhalla for a warm-up beer.
