Is ADE worth it?
Hi,
I was planning a trip to NL in Oct from India. I have just booked roundtrip flight tickets from 2nd-15th Oct (to/from Amsterdam).
I was wondering if I should cancel my tickets and postpone to attend ADE too? The thing is my visa expires on 20th Oct and I don't want to stay till the last day.
Would be parties in just the week earlier to ADE be as vibesy? I've heard that the city starts getting active a week before and some clubs still have really good music.
So I need help to decide if I should really stay for ADE or there would be enough techno music for me in Amsterdam?
About me: I like hard and melodic techno and really like to dance. I would obviously like lesser crowds but underground artists playing too. If I do attend ADE, I would at maximum be doing 1/2 parties a day and maybe an afters for just 2-3 days. I don't really want to attend any day events too.
Edit:
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I cancelled my flights from 2-15 Oct and rebooked for 11-20 Oct. I think I’ll be directly going to the airport from a club. There’s a lot of FOMO for not being able to attend Ratherlost @ Lofi or even Raum on Sunday since my flight is at 10am Sunday. Wish I had a longer visa, but next time 🤞
Here’s my ADE:
Wed: Funk Assault Thu: Vault Sessions @ Radion Fri: Chill day Sat Morning: BFC @ Radion Sat Night: Raum
I don’t think I’ll buy any more tickets. This is it. Although it’s my first ADE, probably bigger venues are for another time. I like underground.
