None other than D-Sturb is responsible for the Decibel outdoor anthem this year, which is finally allowed to take place again after 3 years. ‘Break Free’ already takes you to this gigantic weekend with more than 300 artists and 3 full festival days: “LIVE LOUD!”

D-Sturb has built up quite a reputation when it comes to anthems and this is evident in ‘Break Free’ – the Decibel outdoor anthem that got released today. The Loudest City On Earth has never been so huge: this year is even bigger than ever. This is also what D-Sturb said in the LIVE LOUD podcast yesterday, who has been added to an impressive list of anthem creators.

“An anthem always needs to sound huge in my opinion”, says D-Sturb about the track in collaboration with vocalist ATILAX (known for ‘Hurricane’ with Ran-D and ‘Man Of The Hour’ with Radical Redemption). On the Saturday of the festival, the anthem makers will hit that massive mainstage together for their Decibel track. And that’s not it, because D-Sturb has something new planned for the 2-hour set with Vertile on the new Battle-stage during SAVAGE SUNDAY: “We’re coming with a collab together.”

The music video has just been released and it shows the Decibel anthem at a glance. D-Sturb is trapped inside a box, from which he tries to escape. “The breathing at the beginning symbolises being trapped. The heartbeat goes increasingly faster. Those kinds of elements reinforce the concept of the ‘Break Free’ anthem.” Check out the anthem including videoclip below!

‘A Decibel weekend has never been so extensive’

Decibel outdoor will take place from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 August 2022 on perhaps the most beautiful terrain within the harder styles: the Beekse Bergen in Hilvarenbeek. For tickets and more information, visit the festival’s official website.
