Florence is about to get a serious wake-up call this spring. As the Tuscan capital prepares for the return ofDecibel Easter 2026, the Nelson Mandela Forum is warming up its amps in preparation for a three-day unmissable date for the European techno community. Running from April 4th to April 6th, the festival is doubling down on its reputation with one of the most explosive line-ups yet.
The three days are split into two identities; Saturday and Monday lean into the Resonance drill, delivering the hard techno range at full force. Whilst Sunday boards Decibel, showcasing the most respected signature names in techno.
Leading the charge is a name that needs no introduction. Carl Cox is touching down for one of his 3-hour journeys, delivering a masterclass in tech-house and techno with the kind of seasoned energy only a veteran can command. On the flip side of the intensity scale, I Hate Models brings his trademark emotional chaos and industrial grains to your ears. The roster continues to flex with Fantasm stepping in with his own 3-hour marathon. And for those who lean into the fierce and industrial, you’ve also got Holy Priest and the Italian hard-techno ambassador Luca Agnelli set to keep the tension high, alongside other hard-hitters like the queen who’s taking over worldwide, Novah.
The weekend also leans into B2B energy, featuring the likes of Vieze Asbak b2b Kruelty, Klofama b2b Karah, and Jazzy b2b Jowi, delivering performances that promise to thrive on speed and the type of chemistry that’ll keep you dancing all evening.
With a lineup this thick and three days of programming, Decibel Easter 2026 is effectively claiming its territory as the season’s most essential gathering. Secure your spot and get ready for the ascent!
