Location: Ergo Arena, Gdańsk/Sopot
Date: 31/05/2026
Organizer: Knock Out Productions
What Knock Out Productions has lined up for 31 May at Ergo Arena is going to be huge. Four acts, one arena, zero filler. If you care about heavy music with actual ambition behind it, this is your Sunday evening sorted.
Let’s start at the top. Sabaton are, at this point, a phenomenon that operates well beyond the usual metal scene borders. The Swedes have spent over two decades turning military history into power metal anthems, and somehow it never gets old. Their latest album “Legends” confirms they are nowhere near coasting, and their live show is the kind of thing that makes you understand why 20,000-seat venues make sense. Pyrotechnics, a stage built like a war machine, and Joakim Brodén commanding the room like he was born to fill it. Poland loves Sabaton with a particular intensity, and Sabaton clearly loves Poland back. This is their first Tricity show in nearly a decade. That alone should be enough.
But the support bill here is doing serious heavy lifting. Floor Jansen is not just “the Nightwish singer doing a side thing”. She is a genuine solo force, threading symphonic bombast through an 80s pop sensibility that lands somewhere surprising and completely her own. Enormous voice, enormous presence. She will warm up this crowd properly.
Majestica bring something different again. The Swedish power metal outfit are relentlessly, almost aggressively joyful. These are songs engineered to make you grin and punch the air simultaneously, carrying enough melodic sharpness to cut through even the most fatigued festival brain. Good fun is underrated, and Majestica are very good at it.
Then there is Scardust, the Israeli progressive metal band who round out the evening and may well be the discovery of the night for many people in that room. Their music resists the easy category, weaving progressive ambition through power metal structures in a way that feels genuinely earned rather than merely technical. Not a band you walk away from with a shrug.
Doors open at 18:00, the show starts at 19:30. Tickets are available from 299 PLN.
Four bands, all operating at different frequencies, all worth your full attention. Ergo Arena on 31 May is going to be loud.
