In 2016 the Amsterdam Music Festival organizers decided to expand the event to eight events on five evenings in three different venues: Amsterdam ArenA, Heineken Music Hall, and Ziggo Dome. With an opening night, a closing night and two ArenA shows, the fourth edition of the AMF was the biggest festival during the Amsterdam Dance Event.
