ADE Pro has announced a major new wave of artists, executives and global music companies joining its 30 YEARS ADE Conference programme, with the majority of this year’s line-up now revealed. The conference takes place in Amsterdam, Netherlands from 21 to 25 October 2026.

Among the latest ADE additions are Marcel Dettmann, Tinie Tempah, Nastia, Thys, Lady Starlight, Kikelomo, BT and Sofia Kourtesis, alongside leading figures from SoundCloud, Google DeepMind, Warner Music, Believe and Venice Music. The programme will explore some of the key issues shaping electronic music and the wider music industry, from AI and artist ownership to independent talent, investment and the future of live music.

One of the ADE highlights will see Luciano in conversation with Marcel Dettmann, bringing together two artists whose careers span several decades of electronic music. Dettmann, closely associated with Berlin, Hard Wax and Berghain, has worked across techno, house, electro and industrial music for more than 30 years.

Technology and AI will be another ADE major theme. Lady Starlight will join Jean-Michel Jarre for a discussion on the relationship between artists and technology, while Grammy-nominated producer and technologist BT will take part in panels focused on AI, music technology and the future of music production. Google DeepMind’s Jeff Chang will also discuss how emerging AI models and agents could change the way music is created.

The business programme features SoundCloud, which will examine how independent artists can break through today using the career of Silva Bumpa as a case study; Warner Music on the future shape of the music industry; Believe CEO Denis Ladegaillerie on the digital transformation of music; and Troy Carter, who will discuss artist ownership and the industry he wants to help build through Venice Music.

Other sessions include Tinie Tempah discussing investment and the changing live industry, Nastia and Thys exploring the links between techno and drum & bass, and Sofia Kourtesis offering insights into the South American music market.

With its combination of artists, technology, business and culture, ADE Pro continues to position the Amsterdam Dance Event as a key meeting point for the global electronic music industry, particularly as ADE celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.
