In 2012 The Robodock festival came back to it's birthplace, the ADM, where it had started in 1998

For this edition the (former) office building was transformed to be the main stage, so the building received a much needed make-over

The entrance / facade of the (former) office building, the bar extension (with new toilets) and the metal tree sculpture on top, called Ygdrassil, are all reminiscent of this excellent edition

====================

The Cultural Free-haven ADMamsterdam is currently seriously threatened with eviction by the owners of the terrain (Amstellimo BV and Chidda vastgoed BV) owned by the heirs of the infamous and mafia related real-estate speculator, Bertus Lüske

They claim to have signed a lease with Koole Maritime BV, which starts out on October 1st. 2015

They summoned us to leave before August 1st. 2015 (and to take everything with us!), or face a fine of 50.000 euro's for every day after this date

Three (!) separate legal procedures have been started against us, as of yet

Around 130 residents, ranging from 0 to 80, are currently living between hope and fear

For almost 18 years we've been creating a sustainable community, turning an abandoned and derelict shipbuilding-yard on the outskirts of Amsterdam, into a life laboratory and oasis for the free-spirited and thinkers, in co-operation with the nature around us, by our own means, and with no single cent of subsidy

All over the terrain there are various protected bird species, mammals and wild-flowers to be found, (So far officially established: natterjacks, bats, owls and orchids)

We've hosted around 900 concerts, 100 benefit-events for 3rd. parties, 40 festivals, 10 WinterGames, 7 Bakbrommer-races, 5 Robodocks, 3 SleazeFests and countless other public events

We also support and perform at various other festivals and events in the Netherlands, Europe and the world.

From Oerol to Fusion (DE) and BurningMan (USA) and from RollendeKeukens to TerraMadre(IT) and Macau (HongKong)

Support us by signing our petition that urges the mayor of Amsterdam to intervene

There's no (main-stream)culture without sub-culture!

Stop the speculation with the ADM-terrain!

The ADM belongs to the people!
