Syndicate (stylisé SYNDICATE, pour « Syndicate Ambassadors in Harder Styles ») est un festival de musique électronique et l'un des plus grands festivals de la scène allemande. Ce sont principalement des DJ de la scène techno hardcore ou de la scène hardstyle qui jouent aux Westfalenhallen de Dortmund.
