Following up on recent news about Intercell and the MATANGI / MAYA / M.I.A. premiere, we bring you a fresh breath musical air with the first confirmed artists for ADE LIVE 2018.

For the past three years, live music has had an important position within the ADE festival program through ADE LIVE. Paradiso, Melkweg and Sugar Factory joined forces again this year during the two-day program, allowing visitors to discover the latest electronic live acts and honour established names.

Last year, renowned artists like Fatima Yamaha, Hercules & Love Affair and Marian Hill played next to (then) emerging acts such as Nambyar, Phlake showed that electronic live music deserves a prominent place within ADE’s fering.

This year’s program will leave an even bigger mark on our festival program, thanks to the queen nu-disco: Róisín Murphy. Ever since her Moloko days, the Irish vocalist has been able to innovate and surprise us with her unusual pop music. Together with the synth-heavy electro music Agar Agar, the punky techno Red Axes live] and the dreamscapes Eefje de Visser, the third edition ADE LIVE promises yet again to fer a wide range musical talent. ADE LIVE is accessible for ADE Pass holders (limited capacity) and single ticket holders. The ADE Pass is available , single tickets are available .
