How to survive... Decibel outdoor The Weekend

Lauren Bekker - 13 August 2019

Decibel outdoor, the loudest festival on earth is just around the corner. With the expansions of the festival, three days of Decibel outdoor fun awaits us, two of which are full festival days! On site you will not only find the best of hardstyle, hardcore and harder, but also many activities that will make this weekend festival unforgettable. From foam parties in the toilet to attractions and after parties until early in the morning. Yet, a camping-weekend is not all about roses (not even on Decibel). So we have put together some tips and tricks to survive this weekend from start to finish. How to survive Decibel outdoor The Weekend!

1. Think carefully about packing your suitcase

Packing your things is still quite a thing because you obviously don't want to forget anything. With this packing list you will survive Decibel outdoor to a large extent.

2. Get out of bed a little earlier on Friday morning to conquer the ideal camping spot

You’ve been through it before: on Thursday evening you're far too enthusiastic that it is difficult to sleep because of the nerves, because tomorrow is the day. You are still tired when your alarm clock goes off and you prefer to snooze one more time. However, our tip is to leave early for the Decibel outdoor campsite, because the later you leave, the worse your camping spot will be. If you conquer a good spot, you will benefit from it all weekend. Unless of course you like a nice walk

3. Explore the terrain when you are fully installed

After you’ve been busy setting up your ideal camping spot, it is handy to explore the campsite to discover the best hotspots. This way you can enjoy everything that b2s has arranged for visitors’ best way possible.

4. Shower during the night, not in the morning

While partying and being at a campsite you’ll sweat and you get dirty faster. So it's time to take a nice shower. The tip is to do this at night because it is less crowded then. There is often a long line in the morning. So you have more time to party! When you really didn’t have time to take a shower or you have just gotten dirty, it is handy to take refreshment wipes with you so that you can still freshen up in your tent. And oh yes, don't forget your bath slippers and a towel!

5. Take enough (long shelf life) food and drinks with you

It saves a lot of money if you bring your own food and drink. However, you must keep in mind that your food and drink does not require refrigeration. Think of sausages with for example a small tube of mayonnaise (easy to take with a bag of buns to put the sausage in, then you immediately have a good base). You can bring a gas stove to heat the sausages. Canned fruit is also very useful for supplementing the vitamins, because it will not be a very healthy weekend.

It is also useful to take 1 empty bottle with you to refill (wait until you’re on the campsite, this saves lugging). Furthermore, a pack of fruit juice is always tasty, so that you get some sugar.

6. Visit as many activities as possible

The Decibel campsite is all about the activities, so don't shy away from some craziness on the campsite and especially visit the pop-up parties or the Ravers Paradise. And you shouldn't miss the afterparty where the biggest artists continue the party with you.

7. Sleep with earplugs and an eye mask

Sleeping at a campsite is of course not ideal. Let alone at a festival campsite. It certainly doesn't make it ideal when your neighbors go on with the afterparty or if you are simply not tired yet. To make this situation a little easier it is useful to buy earplugs in advance against the loud music and an eye mask against the light. Sleep tight!

With these handy tips and tricks, it is definite that your Decibel weekend will go well, although that will not be very difficult at such a gigantic festival. Tickets are still available here. You can also check the line-up of Decibel outdoor 2019 here. Have fun!
