Across Friday 23 through Sunday 25 October, Skatecafé offers a useful way to read the final stretch of Amsterdam Dance Event: follow the rooms, then follow the communities that inhabit them. The programme moves from PIP’s annual gathering on Friday to Patta x Keep Hush’s RIDDIMBOX on Saturday and FSTM’s all-day takeover on Sunday. Each date treats the building as a small campus instead of a single dancefloor. Skatecafe Karin & Yvonne sits at Gedempt Hamerkanaal 42 in Amsterdam-Noord, while Café Dick & Dick operates at the same address. That split matters during ADE, when a venue’s character can reside as much in the passage between rooms as in a headline slot.[1][2][3][4][5]

Skatecafé has developed this multi-room identity in public. An ADE feature from late 2025 described a three-room takeover amid a graffiti-lined corridor, a half-pipe in the main room, a photo booth and other improvised-looking details. The point for this coming weekend is less décor than circulation: separate hosts can establish their own tempo, while the venue keeps them within reach of one another. Friday’s PIP event spreads its lineup through Skatecafe, Dick & Dick, Club1900 and the Plein; Saturday’s RIDDIMBOX again assigns hosts to distinct rooms. The result is an ADE address with a legible internal geography.[2][3][4]

Friday 23 October: PIP’s annual home game

PIP GOES SKATECAFE begins at 16:00 on Friday. Its annual ADE meeting starts with an interclub football tournament, whose proceeds support Hope Foundation and De Regenboog Groep, before the music programme moves through the building. The official listing places Buba the Freak, Itz3bby, David Vunk, Jetti and Marsman in Skatecafe; B/V8, BRU’s Golden Era live set, and Chuckie & Jeans in Dick & Dick; and Jire Spiel, Jelly & KI/IP, plus Lamberghini & Floyd in Club1900. That allocation makes the event feel like a host exchange with distinct local stations, held together by PIP’s deliberately loose social frame. Online presales are sold out, with a limited number of door tickets listed.[3]

Saturday 24 October: Patta x Keep Hush redraws the rooms

Saturday’s RIDDIMBOX starts at 21:00 and is the weekend’s most detailed demonstration of Skatecafé’s booking architecture. Patta x Keep Hush host the Skatecafe room, Sankofa Archives takes Dick & Dick, and Mosaiko x Studio Strip programme Club1900. The bill includes EYCEE b2b CHALE, Passion DEEZ, Rotational and Tida Kamara in the first room; Mondesir & Jarreau Vandal live, Rickinzi and YŮSU in the second; and Fendi in Club1900. Organisers frame the wider sound field through grime, dubstep, bubbling, UK bass, jungle, baile funk, gqom, kuduro, Jersey club, dancehall, Afrobeats, amapiano, R&B, hip-hop and house. It is an expansive brief, yet its room-by-room hosting gives the night a concrete shape.[4]

The Saturday listing also gives the practical reality plainly: online tickets are sold out, some door tickets are planned, and early arrival is advised. It identifies 18+ entry and says the event will be recorded and broadcast. Those details suit the broader character of the date, where live music, DJs and several Amsterdam-based cultural operators share a single site without flattening into one generic ADE bill.[4]

Sunday 25 October: FSTM slows the route into a full day

FSTM closes Skatecafé’s selected run on Sunday from 13:00, after the clock change, with a programme that takes over two areas for a full day. The lineup places Blasha & Allatt, Call Super b2b Ryan Elliott, DJ Masda, Eris Drew, Helena Hauff b2b Quest, Mad Miran, Hannecart, Laura Meester, Rey Colino and Tommy Chikara inside a compact framework of rare pairings and long-form room time. FSTM describes its own approach as creating spaces where music facilitates connection, and its Skatecafé page foregrounds discovery alongside those back-to-backs. In the context of Friday and Saturday, Sunday works as the venue’s final change of scale: fewer host collectives named on the poster, yet a wider day in which to settle into the rooms.[5]

Planning the Skatecafé route

Treat the three dates as separate events with separate entry arrangements. Friday begins at 16:00, Saturday at 21:00, and Sunday at 13:00; Sunday uses Central European Time after the overnight clock change. Skatecafe Karin & Yvonne lists its address as Gedempt Hamerkanaal 42, 1021KM Amsterdam. Check each official event page before leaving for door-ticket availability, set times, room allocations, entry conditions and any late programme changes.[1][3][4][5]
