About

A home for the people, sounds and ideas that shape Amsterdam after dark.

From 22 to 24 October, Motie takes over Amsterdam City Hall during Amsterdam Dance Event.Inside the STOPERA, music, art, light and food come together with Amsterdam's creative ecosystem.

Artists, DJs, collectives, cooks, makers and curious minds meet under one roof — in a building better known for passports and paperwork than late nights.Motie is rooted in Amsterdam’s nightlife. The clubs, record stores, kitchens, studios, dance floors and communities that have shaped the city for generations.

During ADE, we bring some of that culture into the heart of the city — and give it room to meet, listen, eat, dance and look at things differently.Expect live concerts, DJ sets, listening sessions, performances, art and light installations, food from Amsterdam kitchens and programmes hosted by people from the city’s creative underground.
