Decibel Outdoor was founded in 2002, making this its 24th year.
The festival is part of b2s's portfolio of electronic music events.
Livestream history
Decibel Outdoor has only run a true concurrent livestream once, in August 2020, when the postponed festival was replaced by a free seven-hour STAY LOUD broadcast on live.b2s.nl. In normal years the festival does not stream the event live. Instead b2s records the mainstage and releases full sets for free on its official YouTube channel and SoundCloud, dripping them out over the weeks and months after the festival. That archive is deep, covering recent editions from 2017 through 2025, including anthem shows and bespoke endshows, but it is on demand rather than live. There is no paid or ticketed stream and no confirmed concurrent live broadcast for the 2026 edition.
