In a culture collaboration with El Tony Mate. After their sold-out debut at ADE 2025, XTC: The Electronic Musical - the first techno musical theatre show in Amsterdam - comes back to celebrate ADE’s 30 year milestone in the renowned Het Sieraad.

XTC: The Electronic Musical keeps the feeling of nightlife at the heart and seamlessly blends professional musical theater with original music that pays tribute to various electronic music genres.

The actors will move and perform around you while a live camera follows. You’ll have the chance to view the show as theatre or on the screen as cinema.

The show was written by Vicu Bazan Szelest and incorporates her personal experiences in nightlife and her journey through sobriety.

You’ll be immersed in a one-of-a-kind experience that merges nightlife and theatre. The show has been in esteemed arts festivals such as Boring Festival Haarlem and in clubs such as Der Hintergarten and Doka.

The event begins with a 30-minute DJ set to warm up and set the mood, followed by 1-hour immersive theatre show.
