Decibel Festival 2008 – Sept. 25 – 28

The fifth annual Decibel Festival will again submerse Seattle in the broad spectrum of electronic music and its surrounding cultural elements.

Since its inception in 2003, Decibel has booked over 400 acts, culminating in the biggest edition yet this fall. Following the success and critical acclaim of previous editions, the festival will once again assemble a diverse selection of international talent designed to stimulate its audience on multiple levels.

The lineup will feature artists at the forefront of electronic music production, alongside exciting visual art performances, multimedia installations, workshops and panel discussions. With this landmark anniversary, Decibel will feature several debut performances as well as some return favorites.

The four-day annual Decibel International Festival of Electronic Music Performance, Visual Art and New Media will happen this September 25-28.
