Following the initial announcement that David Guetta will bring his cutting-edge Monolith show, AMF — the biggest show of Amsterdam Dance Event — is once again set to take over the Johan Cruijff Arena, welcoming a dedicated crowd of 40,000 visitors.
AMF returns to the Johan Cruijff ArenA with a powerhouse line-up for 2026, bringing together Afrojack, Amelie Lens, Armin van Buuren, ARTBAT, D-Block & S-te-Fan, David Guetta, Korolova & Marlon Hoffstadt. Previously announced global icon David Guetta will return to the AMF stage with his highly anticipated Monolith concept, promising a next-level audiovisual experience.
From melodic techno to big room and underground sounds, AMF continues to reflect the evolving sound of today’s dance music scene.
Joining the line-up is the king of trance Armin van Buuren, who returns after last year’s special edition featuring KI/KI and the II=I performance, further reinforcing his long-standing connection with AMF. Also making a highly anticipated return is Afrojack, who will perform at AMF for the first time since 2019, marking a long-awaited return to one of the most iconic nights in electronic music. The lineup further expands with ARTBAT and Marlon Hoffstadt, whose presence highlights a broader musical progression across the night, blending melodic, underground, and more unconventional sounds rarely seen on stages of this scale. They are joined by Amelie Lens and Korolova, while Dutch hardstyle heavyweights D-Block & S-te-Fan bring the harder edge of the spectrum, closing the night with high-intensity energy.
Together, the 2026 edition reflects AMF’s wide-ranging musical journey, alongside a special 30 Years of ADE showcase marking a milestone moment for the global dance community.
Marlon Hoffstadt shares: “When I first played AMF two years ago, it was also my very first time performing in front of such a huge crowd, which made it an unforgettable moment for me. Amsterdam has always felt like coming home, so I’m really looking forward to being back and experiencing it all over again.”
Celebrating 30 years of ADE, this special edition will bring a unique, yet-to-be-revealed show element. Fans can also look forward to an exclusive early-access opening show by a surprise artist, alongside another standout moment still under wraps, both set to push AMF’s live experience to new heights. Keep an eye out for what’s coming.
As always, AMF will transform the Johan Cruijff ArenA into the world’s biggest nightclub during Amsterdam Dance Event, delivering an unforgettable night of music, energy, and spectacle for tens of thousands of fans from around the globe.
Returning as official radio partners, Radio 538 and Fun Radio will once again broadcast the entire show live, while Armin van Buuren will also be on-site in the studio during the event, where, in addition to his performance, he will host his own Dance Department show live from the Johan Cruijff Arena. More artists and show details will be announced soon.
