You’ve waited, you’ve asked, you’ve speculated — and we’ve remained silent… until now.
After months of intense preparations, the moment has finally arrived: we’re unveiling the full line-up for the 31st Pol’and’Rock Festival! From 31 July to 2 August, the former airport in Czaplinek-Broczyno will once again echo with freedom, joy, and a wild mix of musical rhythms. We’re dropping everything at once — because you deserve the full rush of excitement and a proper punch of energy. Here are the artists who’ll be lighting up your summer!
Main Stage – 25 Acts. One wild ride.
Babylon Circus
The explosive French collective returns! Melding ska, reggae, swing, chanson and dub, their energy is unforgettable. Festival-goers from 2006 still remember the madness. Get ready for a high-octane kick-off that’ll turn the field upside down!
The Scratch
No one blends Irish folk, metal, and rock 'n' roll spirit quite like them. Back from Dublin after their killer set on the Second Stage during the 29th edition of Pol’and’Rock Festival. Prepare for raw power and a love of music that knows no limits!
Walls of Jericho
Metalcore veterans from the U.S., born from the Detroit hardcore scene in 1998. They've shared studio time with Slipknot’s Corey Taylor, and now they're ready to shake our stage to its core.
Spiderbait
Legends of Australian rock with 36 years under their belts. If "Black Betty" from Need for Speed: Underground 2 or their cover of "Ghost Riders in the Sky" rings a bell — you know what's coming. Buckle up for a nostalgic riot.
Nocny Kochanek
Polish heavy metal with a massive sense of humour. They’re back on the Main Stage for a special 10th anniversary show. Expect fierce riffs, good times, and classic metal at its best.
Saxon
Heavy metal royalty. One of the original heroes of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, finally storming Pol’and’Rock! Still sharp, still loud, still iconic.
Osees
Garage rock chaos from California led by the unstoppable John Dwyer. With 20+ albums over 28 years, their wild live shows have earned legendary status. Time to experience it ourselves during the upcoming edition of the Most Beautiful Festival in the World!
Mrozu
Singer, composer, and producer, first appeared at our festival during the 21st Woodstock Festival Poland. His platinum album Złote Bloki brought home 5 Fryderyks, including the once in the “Artist of the Year” category. This summer we will dive into his sleek blend of pop, R&B, and soul.
Dope
Hard-hitting industrial metal from the U.S., active since 1997. Get ready for pure sonic mayhem under the stage lights.

FISZ EMADE TWORZYWO
25 years since Polepione Dźwięki, the Waglewski brothers return with 25 — a retrospective and a genre-defying journey through electronica, rock, and rap. Let’s embark on this musical adventure together! Starting point: Pol’and’Rock Festival Main Stage.
Static-X
Pioneers of “evil disco” — a blazing mix of industrial, nu-metal, and electronics. Their debut Wisconsin Death Trip went platinum. If you know “Push It,” you already know what’s coming: chaos, volume, and unforgettable energy.
Burning Spear
Reggae royalty from Jamaica. Two-time Grammy winner and one of the genre’s true legends. Prepare for a wave of positivity, roots rhythm, and reflection.
Wolfmother
Grammy-winning Australian rockers resurrecting the spirit of ‘70s hard rock. Think: thunderous riffs, howling vocals, and a soul-stirring performance in the vein of Led Zeppelin. Are you ready for what’s coming, Pol’and’rockers?
Paradise Lost
UK doom metal pioneers whose sound shaped a genre. Their set promises a deep, heavy, emotional journey into the shadows. Bring your dark side to this year’s edition of the Most Beautiful Festival in the World! It will be taken care of!
Zenek Kupatasa
The mind behind the legendary band Kabanos, now rocking the solo stage without losing his signature mix of heavy riffs and a sharp sense of humour. A true friend of the WOŚP Foundation and the Most Beautiful Festival in the World, Zenek narrowly missed winning the Golden Spinning Top vote — just 61 votes behind Ich Troje! So we’re doing what feels right: both acts are coming. Zenek will open the Main Stage on Saturday, 2 August, with a special set to remember.
Ich Troje
One of Poland’s most iconic pop-rock groups. They played the Second Stage last year and — despite the controversies — pulled one of the biggest crowds in the festival’s history. Loved by the audience and winners of the Polish band category in the Golden Spinning Top vote, Ich Troje now make their grand return to the Main Stage. Michał Wiśniewski will also be a guest of this year’s Academy of the Finest Arts.
Fear Factory
Absolute legends. The American titans of industrial metal, known for their razor-sharp riffs and dystopian sound, are coming to Pol’and’Rock! You’ve heard their tracks in Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil — now brace yourselves for a live set full of precision, fury, and futuristic grit.
Hunter & Kantata Choir
Hunter are back — long-time friends of the Festival and now celebrating 40 years on stage! Masters of heavy rock and metal fused with classical elements, their lyrics tackle war, violence, and intolerance. Expect a haunting atmosphere, unique instruments, and a show crafted down to the last detail. This time, they’ll be joined by the Kantata Choir from their hometown of Szczytno, making this performance even more special.
Wednesday 13
Calling all horror punk fans! Hailing from North Carolina, Wednesday 13’s live shows are pure theatrical mayhem — think horror movies, black comedy, and vintage '80s vibes all wrapped into one. One for the night owls and the brave!
Zeal & Ardor
A truly unique act from Switzerland, blending gospel, blues, soul, electronica, and black metal into something daring and powerful. Their lyrics dive deep into rebellion, identity, faith, and pain — and their live sets? Emotionally charged, artistically brilliant, and unforgettable.
Palaye Royale
A Canadian-American band formed by three brothers, blending glam rock, art rock and punk. Their shows are full-on spectacles — imagine theatrical flair, high energy, and striking visuals. The British press crowned them “Hottest Band of 2018,” and they’ve only gotten bolder since.
Royal Republic
Sweden’s high-voltage rock’n’roll machine is back! After stealing hearts of Pol’and’rockers at the 29th edition and winning the international category of the Golden Spinning Top vote — beating Bullet For My Valentine and Epica — they’re ready to tear up the Main Stage again. Prepare for pure rock joy.
Piotr Bukartyk – official closing concert
It wouldn’t be Pol’and’Rock without him. The festival’s cherished tradition continues as Piotr Bukartyk, beloved songwriter, guitarist and vocalist, closes the event with his band and participants from his legendary festival workshops. Together, they’ll perform the anthem “Z tylu chmur” and bring the curtain down in perfect harmony.
Second Stage. Only by name! & Nighttime ASP

The music kicks off Wednesday night — and we’re starting strong. First up: a dose of laughter from stand-up act Nietykalni, followed by Nighttime ASP performances featuring the ever-charismatic Waldemar Malicki and Małgorzata Krzyżanowicz, then the poetic voice of Michał Bajor and the jazz-infused brilliance of the Hania Derej Quintet (who dazzled the judges during the Emerging Bands Competition). And who’s hitting the Second Stage?
Hanabie.
All the way from Tokyo — a full-female line-up with a decade of experience and sound to prove it. Hanabie fuse crushing metal with the vibrant energy of Japanese pop culture, pairing Harajuku fashion flair with breakneck riffs and wildly inventive videos. Chaos? Absolutely. And we love it.
Wirefall
Winners of Antyfest Antyradio, our long-time rock partner, and proud holders of the Second Stage opener slot on festival Saturday. Expect nu-metal meets hip-hop, delivered with passion, grit, and stage charisma that’s hard to ignore.
Heľenine Oči
This seven-piece Slovak band defies categorisation — and that's the point. Since 1999, they’ve been mashing up ska, rock, metal, folk, reggae and more into one unstoppable party machine. Bring your dancing shoes.
Dirty Shirt
A Pol’and’Rock favourite! Romania’s genre-blending powerhouse returns with their unmistakable fusion of metal, Slavic folk, and world music grooves. Explosive, passionate, and totally unforgettable.

He’s back! Arek Jakubik and his band return to the Most Beautiful Festival in the World for another round of raw, no-holds-barred rock’n’roll. Warning: you’re never too old for a proper mosh.
Bum Bum Orkestar
Boom! A Balkan, klezmer, and Polish folk whirlwind from this explosive Polish group. Since 2014, they’ve been turning every gig into a wild, emotional, high-octane celebration. Don’t stand still — it’s impossible.
The Allergies Live
Straight from the UK, The Allergies bring a sweet mix of funk, hip-hop and soul with sunny vibes and rhythms made for moving. The soundtrack to your festival groove.
The Analogs
Punk’s not dead — and The Analogs are living proof. This Szczecin street punk crew is bringing pure energy and attitude to the Second Stage once again. You’ve been warned.
