After releasing a subset a few weeks ago, the Decibel Festival organizers have released the full lineup for this year’s edition, to be held September 20th-23rd. Scaling back didn’t happen in the slightest, with Decibel even finding new collaborators in Death of the Party (nice work on both sides for that one). They’ve managed to build a lineup that avoids the overlap you find in the rest of the festival circuit, setting this festival apart from its peers. So here’s the list (emphasis my own):

Simian Mobile Disco, Speedy J, Harold Budd & Robin Guthrie, Diplo, Biosphere, Switch, Robert Babicz aka Rob Acid, Guns N’ Bombs, 3 Channels, Bender aka Byetone, Motor, Claude VonStroke, DJ Heather, Chris de Luca vs. phon.o, Jeff Samuel, Frivolous, Kangding Ray, Mike Shannon, Lusine, Mikael Stavostrand, Monty Luke, Max Volume aka Jerry Abstract, Alland Byallo, Truckasaurus, Jacob London, Wolf + Lamb, Drumcell, Strategy, Rafael Anton Irisarri, Derek Plaslaiko, Acid Circus, Scott Pagano (Visuals), Caro, Taal Mala, Jon McMillion, Lissome, Overcast, Papa Slang Bass, Kristina Childs, Mat Anderson, Pretty Titty, Kris Moon, fourcolorzack, CHiKA (Visuals), Novatron, Nordic Soul, Ramiro, ndCv, Mori, KillingFrenzy, Logic Probe, Scott Sunn (Visuals), Hakea, Seiche, Electrosect, Scott K. James

Time to go buy a pass (only a limited number, so you won’t want to wait on that).

Full press release after the jump.
