Dawid Podsiadło has officially announced the launch of his new festival, Zorza, set to make waves across Poland starting in 2025. The festival promises to blend music with various arts, offering fans not just concerts but interactive cultural experiences. With its first iteration scheduled for the summer of 2025, Zorza aims to engage audiences through premiering new music, collaborations, and performances from some of Poland’s top artists.
The Zorza Festival will take place over two days in six major Polish cities: Poznań, Wrocław, Warsaw, Kraków, Gdańsk, and Katowice. Fans can expect to enjoy unique performances, interactive art experiences, and the chance to catch upcoming singles live. "We want to give them new experiences. Above all – to inspire, provide a platform, and support the emergence of new phenomena in culture," said Podsiadło, emphasizing his intent for the festival to serve as more than just entertainment but as a cultural movement.
Ticket sales for Zorza officially began on February 12, 2025, with advance sales for Allegro Smart! members. General ticket sales opened on February 13 at noon. The pricing structure is set at 249 PLN for single-day tickets and 449 PLN for two-day passes, plus service fees. This pricing is competitive and reflects Podsiadło’s aim to make the festival accessible. Following the tradition of popular Polish festivals, Zorza will have its events strategically located outdoors, surrounded by greenery, enhancing the overall experience.
Dawid Podsiadło's return to the spotlight follows his record-breaking stadium tour and production of his documentary film, "Dokumentalny," released at the end of 2024. With Zorza, he steps forward with ambitious plans, stating, "We are entering a completely new stage with this festival. This is our chance to create something new, different, and at times even a bit crazy." The festival is set to be held on select dates throughout the summer, with detailed performances planned for each city.
The festival will kick off its tour with events scheduled for Poznań on June 6-7, 2025, followed by Wrocław on June 27-28, Warsaw on July 11-12, Kraków on July 25-26, Gdańsk on August 15-16, and concluding at Katowice on August 29-30. Each event will feature unique musical experiences, with Podsiadło himself performing several times and presenting different musical configurations on stage.
With the Zorza Festival, Podsiadło is not just celebrating music but creating a unique platform for cultural dialogue and artistic expression. His collaborations aim to showcase not only mainstream music but also newer, innovative artistic forms, potentially redefining how music festivals interact with their audiences. The lineup is set to include performances from various artists, promising discussions and performances tied to broader cultural themes.
Fans will have the opportunity to experience freshly crafted songs and artistic expressions, closely following the festival's mission to resonate with local communities. The festival's reach is anticipated to create significant buzz as it brings together various elements of the art scene, including educational workshops and visual arts alongside the anticipated music performances.
Podsiadło’s vision is to turn Zorza Festival events not only to concerts but also to community-beacons—spaces where art and music intersect, prompting thought, emotion, and community engagement. With high expectations from both the audience and the artists, the upcoming festival sets the stage for something truly special. Dawid Podsiadło’s commitment to this artistic endeavor demonstrates the importance of recreative and cultural expressions through music.
With the momentum building behind the Zorza Festival, there’s palpable excitement surrounding the forthcoming summer of 2025, as fans look forward to immersing themselves not just musically but culturally at one of the year's most anticipated events.
