Location:Polsat Plus Arena,Gdańsk
Date:15-16/08/2025Zorza is a space where music, art, and people come together in a one-of-a-kind moment. These are the artists you already know, but here, you’ll discover them anew through groundbreaking collaborations and specially created performances that will never happen anywhere else.
Supported by T-Mobile, Zorza is a bold and innovative format that is not your typical music festival. It is a living platform where music intersects with film, literature, design, and community. The festival introduces projects prepared especially for this occasion, creating a space where artists experiment, audiences engage, and creativity unfolds without limits.
In the summer of 2025, Zorza will travel across six cities in Poland as part of the Zorza initiative. In each city, it will bring a two-day celebration featuring unique reinterpretations of familiar sounds and visuals. The event in Gdańsk, taking place on August 15 and 16 at the Polsat Plus Arena, promises to be a showcase of surprise pairings and unexpected artistic reinvention. Alongside the live events, Zorza will also exist online throughout the year, offering a stream of new releases, music videos, live sessions, and digital premieres that extend the festival’s creative energy beyond the stage.
On Friday, August 15, Dawid Podsiadło and Kaśka Sochacka will perform together – but a little different, as they debut newly recorded songs made specifically for Zorza. Sokół, Fisz, and Emade will unite on stage, blending their styles in a performance no one saw coming. Paulina Przybysz will present her take on the legendary band Bajm, offering a personal and contemporary reinterpretation.
Saturday, August 16 continues this thread of artistic fusion. Dawid Podsiadło returns, this time with Artur Rojek, to revisit the songs that shaped Dawid’s youth and Artur’s early days as the voice of Myslovitz. Kacperczyk and Kukon will take the stage together, channeling the spirit of a generation caught between nostalgia and upheaval. Kortez will re-emerge with his project “Boomerang”, marking his first major return in a decade.
Beyond the main stage, Zorza will also feature a collaboration with one of Poland’s most renowned electronic music festivals: Audioriver. Together with T-Mobile Electronic Beats, the Audioriver stage will host a curated selection of artists that push the limits of electronic sound. From minimalist techno to avant-pop, these performances will blur the lines between genres and eras.
On Friday, the electronic stage will feature a live performance by A_GIM and DEAS, followed by the collaborative energy of Catz ‘n Dogz & Friends, and the nostalgic futurism of IKARVS: Polish Euphoria 2000. Saturday will bring sets from Flirtini 2012 FM, a DJ performance by Brodka, the futuristic flair of ROSALIE.2K88, and a reimagined take on Bass Astral under the Remixed PL banner.

I have a feeling that by starting this festival, we are entering a completely new stage. On the one hand – as always – music. We will present unique projects, most of which are created from scratch with our event in mind. We are grateful and proud that such fantastic artists liked our idea and accepted the invitation. It’s an opportunity for all of us to catch a fresh musical breath and create something new, different, and sometimes even a bit crazy – with a pinch of salt. Maybe even something we always wanted to do, but so far there were no opportunities? And all this will happen in our country for the first time – and only once – in this form. On the other hand, we are opening up to travel in completely new directions. We want to be more than just a music festival. Already today, the community that has been accompanying us at concerts for years – these several hundred thousand people – is actually with us all year round. We want to give them a new experience. And above all – to inspire, share the platform and support the emergence of new phenomena in culture – says Dawid Podsiadło.
