ADE Still Preparing for 2020 Event As Netherlands Calls for COVID-19 Vaccine

Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) is hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.

The annual dance conference and music festival is set to take place this October 21 – 25 and organizers are still preparing for the event. However, with the Netherlands’ recent decision to banlarge-scale music events until there is a vaccine to fight the coronavirus (COVID-19), the reality is ADE may or may not happen as planned.

“The Amsterdam Dance Event will look different this year than usual,†according to a spokesperson. â€œHow exactly, we can’t say that yet. So much is changing so fast right now.â€

Last year, ADE reportedly attracted 400,000 visitors from 146 countries, which falls under the category of â€œmassive events with a national appearance.†Moving forward, Minister Hugo de Jonge will only allow such an event to take place if there is a vaccine against COVID-19, more on that here.

Fingers crossed ADE will still take place in some capacity in 2020 — but safety first, of course.
