Florence is setting the tone early this year. As the rest of Europe slowly thaws out, Decibel Easter Edition 2025 kicks off the season with two full days of high-impact at Nelson Mandela Forum. Taking place over Easter weekend, this special edition of Decibel Open Air is built around contrast: one day of feel-good house anthems, and one day deep in the world of hard techno.

On April 20th, the spotlight’s on a global icon—Fatboy Slim. With a legacy spanning three decades, Norman Cook’s genre-defying sets have shaped dance culture across generations. From Ibiza sunsets to stadium-size, expect a masterclass in groove, rhythm, and pure crowd control. Marco Faraone himself does not go unnoticed on this day either!

April 21st, takes a different path as I Hate Models headlines with his signature brand of explosive, emotional techno. Joining him is the fast-rising Fantasm, gaining serious attention for his uncompromising energy. Add Italy’s own Luca Agnelli to the mix—founder of Etruria Beat and a defining name in the Italian underground scene—and you’ve got a top lineup!

And if that’s not enough? The main Decibel Open Air 2025 lands this September at the iconic Cascine Park. It’s Decibel’s full-scale return: a massive season closer with a lineup still under wraps. Stay tuned for more!
