Creating history right before our eyes, we take a wider look at the key events and highlights that will make ADE 2025 the best edition yet.

Taking place from the 22nd till the 26th of October, 2025, ADE can only be described as the “world’s largest and most influential club-based festival and conference for electronic music,” and with no signs of slowing down, organisers have this time round outdone themselves to the max, and in doing so, will be providing attendees with an experience that quite like it has yet to be seen. The ultimate celebration of electronic dance music, these are the key events and highlights that will make ADE 2025 one for the history books;
