Over the course of four days we are presenting international acts from Belgium, Germany, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the U.K. and of course the U.S while still keeping a focus on Pacific Northwest artists. This year Decibel also expanded the Showcases to offer even more diverse talent, visual art and activities including the 1st Annual DB-Conference and 1st Annual OPTICAL Multimedia Showcase.
