Martin Garrix’s record label STMPD RCRDS is preparing an unusual celebration for Amsterdam Dance Event 2026. On October 21, the Dutch imprint will collaborate with Amsterdam Airport Schiphol to host an exclusive electronic music event at a secret location within the airport, featuring Julian Jordan, Brooks, Citadelle and Nova Blue. The event forms part of the label’s 10th-anniversary celebrations.

Amsterdam Dance Event is preparing to transform more than just the city’s nightclubs.

Martin Garrix’s record label STMPD RCRDS has officially announced a collaboration with Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, introducing a special electronic music experience during ADE 2026.

The event will take place on Wednesday, October 21, at an exclusive location within the international airport.

Unlike conventional festival events, attendance will be limited to selected participants, with opportunities to gain access through promotional activities organized by Schiphol and STMPD RCRDS.

The announcement represents another creative development in the label’s 10th-anniversary celebrations.

Electronic Music Takes Over Schiphol Airport

The project aims to bring the atmosphere of Amsterdam Dance Event to one of the Netherlands’ busiest international transport hubs.

Every October, Schiphol welcomes thousands of visitors travelling to Amsterdam for electronic music events, conferences and industry meetings.

For many international visitors, the airport is their first introduction to the city.

Through the new collaboration, Schiphol and STMPD RCRDS want to transform that arrival experience into something more closely connected to Amsterdam’s electronic music culture.

The initiative will include unexpected music experiences for selected passengers travelling through the airport on October 21.

Among them will be a surprise appearance from Dutch DJ and producer Justin Mylo.

The project will continue later that evening with an exclusive event dedicated to the STMPD RCRDS sound.

Julian Jordan, Brooks, Citadelle and Nova Blue Confirmed

The private airport event is scheduled to run from 20:00 until 23:00.

Four artists have been officially announced.

Julian Jordan, a longstanding collaborator of Martin Garrix and a recognizable name within the STMPD RCRDS catalogue, will be among the performers.

The Dutch producer has developed his musical identity through energetic electronic music productions and international festival performances.

Brooks will also participate, bringing his distinctive combination of house rhythms and festival-oriented electronic production.

The lineup additionally features Citadelle and Nova Blue, two projects connected to the label’s evolving musical direction.

Together, the artists will introduce a selection of electronic music to an environment rarely associated with exclusive DJ events.

Organizers have not revealed the exact area of the airport where the performance will take place.

The secrecy forms part of the event’s concept, with access details reserved for selected participants.

Can Fans Attend the Secret Airport Party?

Unlike most events during Amsterdam Dance Event, the airport celebration does not have a conventional public ticket sale.

According to Schiphol’s official announcement, fans will have opportunities to attend through the social media channels of the airport and STMPD RCRDS.

The organizers have not yet provided a complete public breakdown of the selection process.

Interested audiences are therefore encouraged to follow official announcements for participation details.

The airport has also confirmed that some travellers may encounter unexpected musical performances during the day.

These activities are separate from the evening’s exclusive showcase.

Martin Garrix founded STMPD RCRDS and is closely connected to the anniversary celebrations, but he has not been announced as one of the performers at the October 21 airport event.

STMPD RCRDS Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary

The announcement forms part of a wider milestone for STMPD RCRDS.

Founded by Martin Garrix in 2016, the label has developed into an internationally recognized platform for electronic music.

Over the past decade, it has supported artists working across several areas of contemporary dance music.

Its catalogue includes productions associated with progressive house, electro house, future house and other electronic styles.

The label has also established a strong international presence through festival stages and curated events.

Its anniversary activities have already included celebrations in North America, South America and Asia.

The Amsterdam events will bring those celebrations back to the city where the label was founded.

Martin Garrix Will Headline the Anniversary Event at AFAS Live

The airport celebration will be followed by another major STMPD RCRDS event during ADE.

On Thursday, October 22, the label will host its 10th-anniversary showcase at AFAS Live in Amsterdam.

Unlike the secret airport party, this event will feature Martin Garrix himself.

The extensive lineup brings together artists from different periods of the label’s history.

Confirmed names include Martin Garrix, Julian Jordan, DubVision, Matisse & Sadko, Justin Mylo, Mesto, R3HAB, Third Party, Curbi, Lavern, Citadelle and Nova Blue.

Additional performers include Merow, Nome, Skytech and Vluarr.

The event is scheduled to begin at 17:00 and continue until midnight.

For STMPD RCRDS, the celebration represents an opportunity to bring together artists who have contributed to its development throughout the past decade.

The anniversary program also reflects the continuing relationship between Martin Garrix, his label and Amsterdam Dance Event.

Amsterdam Dance Event Turns 30

The timing of the STMPD RCRDS celebrations coincides with the 30th anniversary of Amsterdam Dance Event.

ADE 2026 takes place from October 21 to 25, transforming the city into an international meeting point for electronic music.

Its program brings together club performances, festivals, industry conferences, networking events and cultural activities.

The festival attracts international DJs, producers, promoters, record labels and audiences from around the world.

This year’s anniversary edition is expected to be particularly significant, with thousands of artists performing across hundreds of venues.

The Schiphol collaboration introduces another dimension to ADE, extending the event’s atmosphere beyond established nightlife locations.

For STMPD RCRDS, the airport showcase provides a creative way to celebrate electronic music within a space directly connected to international travel and cultural exchange.

A Different Way to Begin Amsterdam Dance Event

With two distinct events planned across October 21 and 22, STMPD RCRDS is preparing an eventful anniversary week.

The airport party will introduce electronic music to an unexpected location, while the AFAS Live showcase will bring together a broader selection of artists for a large-scale celebration.

Together, the events reflect the label’s ambition to connect electronic music with different environments and audiences.

They also highlight the role Amsterdam Dance Event plays in encouraging creative collaborations beyond conventional clubs and festivals.

The STMPD RCRDS x Schiphol Airport event takes place October 21, 2026, from 20:00 to 23:00, featuring Julian Jordan, Brooks, Citadelle and Nova Blue. Martin Garrix will perform the following day at the label’s 10th-anniversary celebration at AFAS Live.
