First Woodstock Poland band announced


Can't wait to see them take the Main Stage at the Most Beautiful Festival in the World! We'll meet each-other at Woodstock on 2-3-4  August 2018. 

LAO CHE is a Polish rock back formed in 1999. It is difficult to pin down their music style to one particular genre - their music occupies a vibrant area between rock, alternative rock,  punk rock, ska, ambient and folk-inspired numbers. Their career took off after their highly acclaimed concept album 'Powstanie Warszawskie' (Warsaw Uprising), their second album release in 2005. Their albums sum up the feelings of an entire generation - thoughtful lyrics combined with melodic, upbeat music.

Their latest release - an album titled 'WOS' is a clever play on the very popular 80s nostalgia. Even though the music is strongly inspired by the anthems of the 1980s, the ingenious musicians put their own very unique spin on the well-known tunes. Lyrics on the album are very interesting - they touch upon important, existential matters such as dreams and reality of life as a citizen of Poland, Earth. The musicians try to answer how it is to be a human being in the modern age.

The band is very familiar with the stages and audience of the Most Beautiful Festival of the Word - they have played at Woodstock 4 times before and they have won the appreciation of the audience, which is proven by their Golden Spinning Top win! 

Woodstock Festival Poland is a massive, free music festival which takes place in Kostrzyn nad Odrą in western Poland. The event is a non-commercial festival, promoting the ideals of tolerance, friendship, and advocating for social and community involvement and global responsibility. The annual event attracts huge crowds of music fans, who can enjoy a vibrant mix of Polish and international bands.
