After recents announcements on Martin Garrix who will move his STMPD studio to DeLaMar Theater and ADE Sound Lab’s evening program, it is time for news about ADE Dance & Brands.
Dance & Brands, the result of a collaboration between ADE and First Day of Spring, exists because brands spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year sponsoring music acts, music events and music-based content for websites and streaming services. This highly focused one-day event is the place where the realities of a fruitful relationship between music acts and consumer brands takes centre stage.
