AMSTERDAM, NL — AMF has officially announced its 2026 lineup, transforming the Johan Cruijff ArenA into the world's largest indoor dancefloor on Saturday, October 24, 2026. Coinciding with the milestone 30 Years of ADE celebration, this year's edition features a high-concept production from David Guetta and the long-awaited return of Afrojack to the AMF stage for the first time since 2019.
Headliners and Special Productions
The 2026 edition is headlined by French superstar David Guetta, who will debut his "Monolith" show. This custom-built production features a massive vertical LED structure, 3D mapping, and a "Future Rave" audiovisual experience specifically designed for the arena's scale. Joining him is Armin van Buuren, an AMF mainstay, and Afrojack, whose return marks a major highlight for longtime fans of the event.
A Genre-Crossing Roster
Moving beyond traditional big-room house, the 2026 lineup reflects AMF's recent shift toward diverse electronic styles:
- Techno & Melodic: Underground leaders Amelie Lens, ARTBAT, and Korolova are set to bring harder and more melodic textures to the stadium.
- Hardstyle & Eurodance: Hardstyle veterans D-Block & S-te-Fan return to the lineup, alongside Marlon Hoffstadt, who continues to lead the global Eurodance and trance revival.
- Future Announcements: Organizers have confirmed that more artists, including potential "II=I" (Two Is One) back-to-back performances, are still to be announced.
Scale and Significance
As the centerpiece of the Amsterdam Dance Event, AMF 2026 expects to host approximately 40,000 fans. The event is integrated into the "30 Years of ADE" theme, which will include exclusive speakers and showcase the global evolution of electronic music scenes. Tickets are currently on sale, featuring tiers for Regular, VIP, and VIP Premium access.
