From August 15 to 17, 2025, Decibel Outdoor Festival transformed Beekse Bergen (Netherlands) into the Loudest City on Earth—a haven for fans of Hardstyle, Rawstyle, Uptempo, Hardcore, and to some extent Frenchcore seeking brutal kicks, epic melodies, and a weekend of pure adrenaline.
A massive, diverse lineup
The 2025 edition is defined by a massive lineup: over 300 artists across 28 to 30 stages, covering all sub-genres of harder styles. Headliners include D-Block & S-Te-Fan, Sub Zero Project, Sound Rush, Sefa, Aversion, Regain, Warface, Dual Damage, Rejecta, The Purge, Gezellige Uptempo, Mutilator, D-Sturb, and more. Stages such as “Raw”, “Uptempo”, “Hardstyle Classics”, “Hardcore & Terror”, “Xtra Raw” allow each vibe to shine.
Highlights & standout moments
- Savage Sunday: an extreme Sunday, with an Uptempo marathon, RAW sets, mainstage Hardstyle full-on, and epic closing sessions.
- Saturday features the Hardstyle Classics stage, celebrating legendary tracks and the roots of the genre.
- Frenchcore lovers were catered to: some stages in the Hardcore / Frenchcore / Uptempo domains brought late-night punch and energy.
Experience & atmosphere
Between well-thought camping, spectacular visual effects, pyrotechnics, immersive décor, top sound quality, and a mix of young fans and scene veterans, Decibel 2025 offered total immersion. Despite minor logistical challenges (moving between stages, peak-time food), the overall energy remained through the roof.
