Everything happens at Havenpark, in Amsterdam. Amsterdam · 0 km · about 0 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site.
Dockyard Festival ADE keeps the same calendar slot each year: October 2026 for this edition, opening on a Saturday and closing on a Saturday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Amsterdam are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

- 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Dockyard Festival ADE are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
- 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
- 3Reserve 2 nights rather than 1: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
- 4Follow Dockyard Festival ADE on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
