THE CHICAGO CONNECTION

Celebrating 30 Years of Amsterdam Dance Event

Wednesday, October 21, 2026 | 5PM–10PM BLEND XL | Amsterdam

The Legendary MARSHALL JEFFERSON joins forces with Fun With Dick & Jayne to kick off ADE’s 30th Anniversary in true House Music fashion and he’s personally inviting YOU to be part of a night that promises to be nothing short of historic!

This is more than a party. This is a musical journey through the birth, evolution, and future of House Music.

Travel back to the Chicago clubs, dance floors, and underground sounds that gave birth to a global movement. Experience the music through the artists who helped build the foundation of House Music and continue to shape its future today. Marshall Jefferson will be joined by some of his legendary House Music pioneering friends and architects.

From the early Chicago House sound to the soulful, deep, jackin’, and uplifting rhythms that have traveled around the world, The Chicago Connection brings the story to life through the people who were there and the music that started it all.

As Amsterdam Dance Event celebrates 30 years of bringing the global electronic music community together, there is no better way to begin the anniversary than by honoring the city where House Music was born and the pioneers who helped carry its sound across the globe.

ONE CITY. ONE SOUND. ONE GLOBAL MOVEMENT.

Chicago connected Amsterdam to the sound of House Music and now, for one unforgettable ADE night, the connection comes full circle. Come experience the history. Feel the energy. Celebrate the pioneers. Dance to the music that changed the world.

THIS IS THE CHICAGO CONNECTION.
THIS IS HOUSE MUSIC.
THIS IS WHERE YOUR ADE 30TH ANNIVERSARY BEGINS.
DON’T JUST HEAR THE HISTORY. EXPERIENCE IT.
