Unofficial ADE Week Guide 2025:
October 21–26, 2025 | Amsterdam
The only way to fight the machine is to use its fuel.
ADE week floods Amsterdam with sponsorships, inflated lineups, and industry gloss.
But the city still belongs to the independent curators, collectives, and communities who build meaning out of chaos.
The real underground does not disappear during ADE. It reorganizes.
We use their spotlight and turn it toward the greater good.
Here are Unmixed’s picks for unofficial ADE week 2025, where collective action becomes culture again.
