ALDA and Insomniac have unveiled the first acts on the monumental line-up for the 2023 edition of AMF. Amsterdam Dance Event’s biggest event will see performances of several familiar faces, including Afrojack, Armin van Buuren, and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike.
Interestingly though, going into its second decade of existence, the brand is diversifying its line up with the addition of James Hype, Meduza, and Purple Disco Machine as well as an unannounced headliner, slated for a debut AMF performance. Rounding out the line-up are Dutch heavy hitters Headhunterz and Israeli duo Vini Vici. Tickets for the flagship event will go on sale on May 24th, starting at €89,00.
Also making their AMF debuts will be British DJ James Hype and Italian hit-making trio Meduza. After gaining notoriety as a viral DJ, James Hype shot to stardom with his mega-hit Ferrari. This was one of the biggest songs of 2022 and took over the charts all over the globe, cementing James Hype as one of the artists to watch. Meduza has been a mainstay in the global pop charts ever since their break-out single Piece Of Your Heart, which was followed up by the subsequently successful Lose Control and Paradise. Collectively the trio’s biggest tracks have raked in billions of streams across platforms.
Through otherworldly stage design, boundless lighting rigs, and superstar line-ups, AMF has managed to position itself as the must-see dance spectacle taking place during Amsterdam Dance Event. The event generally sells out months in advance and welcomes people from dozens of nationalities, transforming the iconic Johan Cruijff ArenA into a sea of flags.
Back in 2022, 40.000 people gathered in a sold-out ArenA in Amsterdam to celebrate the legendary brand’s tenth anniversary. Over a ten-year span, AMF has brought together some of Amsterdam Dance Event’s most coveted line-ups and hosted stadium shows like no other. Now at the dawn of a new decade, AMF is showing the first signs of what’s to come in the future. By broadening the spectrum of artists on its line-up, AMF is growing with the times and taking note of the rapidly growing popularity of new sounds within the scene. AMF is ready to embrace a new era in dance music and is proud to offer a platform of this size to the next generation of artists.
For this year’s edition, AMF has set up radio partnerships across Western Europe. Long-time Dutch collaborator Radio 538, Belgian Studio Brussel, the German 1LIVE, and French station Fun Radio are all part of the massive pan-European promotional campaign.
