Electronic music legend Paul van Dyk is set to return to Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) with an anticipated open-to-close performance at Melkweg’s iconic Rabozaal. Taking place on October 24th, this special event promises an immersive, all-night journey through sound, curated by one of the most influential figures in global dance music.

A titan of electronic music and a visionary sound architect, Paul van Dyk has long been celebrated for his ability to craft emotionally resonant, high-energy sets that connect deeply with audiences worldwide. This year’s performance marks the fifth consecutive ADE appearance at Melkweg, with each edition having sold out and leaving an enduring impression on fans.

“I’m incredibly excited to make my return to ADE this October at one of Amsterdam’s most iconic music venues. Each year, I feel a deeper connection to the city, the crowd, and the energy inside that room. It’s always an unforgettable experience, and I can’t wait to take listeners on a journey across the full spectrum of my music.”

The open-to-close format offers a rare opportunity for attendees to experience the full spectrum of Paul van Dyk’s musical universe, from deep, melodic explorations to euphoric peak-time moments. With complete artistic control from start to finish, the night will unfold as a carefully curated narrative, guided solely by his vision and connection with the crowd.

Attendees can also expect an abundance of new and unreleased material, including exclusive previews from upcoming projects and fresh releases from the VANDIT Records label group. This makes the event not only a celebration of his legacy but also a glimpse into the future of his sound.
