Amelie Lens to headline DJ Mag’s afternoon ADE party at Skatecafé

DJ Mag Presents is returning to Amsterdam’s Skatecafé on Thursday 22nd October for an ADE 2026 party headlined by Amelie Lens. Greek DJ ANNĒ and local duo DRKNGHTS complete the bill, according to the announcement

The event is scheduled to run from 4pm to 8.30pm CET. Last entry is at 6.30pm, so the booking starts in the afternoon but continues into the evening.

Lens is one of DJ Mag’s current cover stars and the headline act for the Skatecafé party. The announcement places her at the centre of a bill that also gives space to two supporting names.

ANNĒ is a Greek DJ, while DRKNGHTS are described as a fast-rising local duo. Their inclusion offers ADE visitors a chance to look beyond the headliner while staying within a single event.

For Electric’s audience, that mix is part of the appeal: an established headline name alongside artists listeners may want to discover. An afternoon start also gives the party a distinct place in a festival schedule that stretches well beyond late-night club dates.

Amsterdam Dance Event’s 30th anniversary edition runs from 21st to 25th October. DJ Mag reports that the programme features more than 1,500 artists across hundreds of parties, talks, panels and workshops.

The Skatecafé event follows DJ Mag Presents’ sold-out ADE party in 2025, which was headlined by Jyoty. That provides context for the returning format, without indicating how this year’s tickets will sell.

DJ Mag says tickets for the Amelie Lens party are available. The 6.30pm last-entry time is worth factoring into plans for anyone considering the event.
