📋About
Decibel Open Air 2026: a hardstyle high mass in a Renaissance park in Florence
The contrast is striking: every early September, one of Florence's oldest parks — the roughly 160-hectare Parco delle Cascine — turns into an open-air cathedral for fans of hard electronic music. Launched in 2017, Decibel Open Air has risen, according to specialist press, among Europe's most popular electronic gatherings, blending techno, house and above all hardstyle. The 2026 edition takes place on 5 and 6 September.
The 2026 line-up is a hardstyle and hardcore who's who. It features Coone, hardcore queen Korsakoff, the duo D-Block & S-te-Fan, Ran-D and Ukraine's Miss K8, rounded out by Sub Zero Project, Frontliner and Atmozfears.
Between hardstyle, hardcore and techno, the festival raises its walls of sound across several stages, in one of the most spectacular urban settings on the European electronic circuit.
See you on 5 and 6 September 2026 at Parco delle Cascine, Florence (Italy). Tickets via the official box office.
