ADE Lab has divided its offering into two programmes, including a free Discovery strand. According to We Rave You, it runs at Lab Village in Westerpark and includes the Gear Test Lab at Het Ketelhuis.
The programme allows visitors to explore DJ equipment, instruments and production tools, with demonstrations and product presentations alongside testing opportunities. The reported free access applies to this part of the programme. It should not be read as free entry to every ADE event or to the separate Lab offering.
