EN.D.E has performed at such diverse festivals as Stockholm Early Music Festival, Geiger Festival, Göteborg Art Sounds Festival of Contemporary and Electronic Music in Gothenburg and Örebro Contemporary Chamber Music Festival. They have also performed within the worldwide concert series Café de Concert as well as regular concerts within Scandinavia.

During 2010, EN.D.E have amongst other things performed in the USA, collaborated with Italian composer Maurizio Pisati and launched the project YouHero which contains reprogrammed Guitar Hero guitars and a specially designed program for PC that transforms the Guitar Hero guitar into a musical instrument. EN.D.E has also commissioned music by swedish female composers and searched for music by 18th century italian female composers at the Biblioteca del Conservatorio ”Benedetto Marcello” in Venice as a part of their most recent project: “Italian Elegance and Swedish determination”
