Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE 2025) begins differently this year as P.ADE.L Returns for its Third Edition. On Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025, P.ADE.L powered by HEAD makes its official return. After two successful years, the tournament returns for its third edition, offering ADE a sporty and surprising kick-off before the week of music begins.
This unique event blends music and sports, where world-renowned DJs face off in a friendly but competitive padel tournament. The action happens in collaboration with Padel Next in Amsterdam, turning the court into ADE’s most unexpected stage.
Forget the decks. Instead, picture Lucas & Steve, Mike Williams, DubVision, Mesto, Firebeatz, Moksi, and Jay Hardway trading beats for rackets. The 2025 lineup also includes Plastik Funk, MOTi, Steff Da Campo, Tom & Jame, RSCL, and Marco Nobel. Fans can expect Jake Tarry, Alpharock, Vluarr, Cinimin, Roc Dubloc, Maniba, Damante, and El Khatib pushing their competitive side too.
DJs Off Duty, Fans Courtside
The lineup continues with Nome, Andrew Mathers, Dante Klein, Ruthless, Leandro Da Silva, Jody Bernal, and Hatim El Khatib. Add in Faulhaber, Dastic, Axim, Jesper Ace, Greg Rock, With U, Robbie Mendez, and Mateq Vivès, and the roster feels like a festival flyer.
For fans, it’s a rare opportunity. Only 25 limited viewing tickets will be available, giving access to the matches live. Those lucky enough to attend may even manage a quick picture with their favorite DJ off-duty. This chance to see global names in a casual, competitive setting while playing padel makes the tournament a 2025 highlight prior to ADE opening.
Powered by HEAD and Built to Grow
This year marks the first official edition as P.ADE.L powered by HEAD, reflecting its growing recognition. With HEAD leading and partners like STMNT, Parfumado, Asics, Strictly Tourmanagement, Earth Water, Solit, Juicebrothers, and Hyperice, the event merges sport and lifestyle seamlessly.
Previous editions saw stars like Nicky Romero join the competition, building credibility within the scene. The ambition remains clear: to grow into ADE’s official recurring sporty kick-off event for DJs. Backed by The Artist Perspective and Triangle Music Agency, P.ADE.L is becoming a tradition. By the time official ADE showcases start, these DJs will already have battled on court. The tournament proves ADE’s surprises don’t only happen at night—they can begin with a morning serve.
P.ADE.L powered by HEAD takes place Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025, 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM at Padel Next, Willem de Zwijgerlaan 338C, Amsterdam. For tickets and info, visit trianglemusicagency.com/padel.
