The Masquerade

The only place to find Claptone this ADE is at his own event, supported by the likes of Purple Disco Machine, Todd Terry and Wouter S.

Expect to be enveloped by unique visuals and sounds at this idiosyncratic event. An extraordinary atmosphere awaits with loads of masked faces and elaborate decoration creating an otherworldly clubbing experience. After festival hostings at Tomorrowland and Daydream Festival and a weekly residency in Pacha Ibiza – The Masquerade show has clearly been proven to be a hit and the ADE iteration is likely to sell out!

elrow goes to ADE 2019

Taking place on the Sunday of ADE week, elrow is the perfect way to finish your ADE experience. Known for their exuberant decor and themes, elrow is a one of a kind house party that you need to attend at least once. With their 2018 edition selling out, it wouldn’t be surprising to see this one follow in its footsteps. As the lineup is unknown as of yet, other than a crazy and unique party atmosphere, it’s hard to know what to expect artist wise!
