Our festivals

Letnie Brzmienia (Summer Sounds) was born out of the need to come together and experience music collectively during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Initially, it was a series of concerts held in major Polish cities during the summer on outdoor stages. Through collaboration with local institutions, Letnie Brzmienia activated urban spaces for four years already. 

In 2023, the summer tour evolved from individual concerts into a festival-like atmosphere with a series of weekend concerts. Since 2023, the positive vibes of Letnie Brzmienia have been supported by Santander Bank Polska as the title sponsor of the event and the main co-organizer of the festival. In 2026, as cooperation continued to develop, the festival adopted a new name – Erste Letnie Brzmienia.

For the past four years, Erste Letnie Brzmienia has created a musical, original project by the BABIE LATO (GIRLS’ SUMMER) collective, showcasing the diverse energy that women can bring. Each edition of the project is marked by the release of a collaborative song, which serves as the anthem of BABIE LATO. These original songs are always accompanied by the premiere of a music video. 

NEXT FEST Music Showcase & Conference in Poznań is a three-day music event, serving as the successor and inheritor of the Spring Break festival. The event is organized in collaboration with the This Way Foundation and is funded by the City of Poznań. The first edition took place in 2023 and was well received by both the audience and the industry. 

NEXT FEST features several clubs, outdoor stages, concerts, panel discussions, accompanying events, and workshops – transforming Poznań into the music capital of Poland for spring. It becomes a melting pot where music and people, emotions and knowledge, impressions and experiences converge. This is where the paths of the audience and delegates cross – artists, managers, journalists, record label representatives, and cultural institutions – thousands of people who love music. They form the foundation of NEXT FEST and make this event possible. 

After the success of the inaugural edition, it became clear that Poznań had longed for a fresh spring breeze of music, and the national music industry was reminded of the sounds of carefully selected debut music mixed with the tones of established brands. 

Jazz Around Festival is an extraordinary celebration where funk, groove, soul, and broadly defined jazz reign supreme. It is a musical meeting of youth with tradition, iconic creativity with bold sound, and innovation with avant-garde. The festival is designed to follow the “around” format, meaning it is always on the move. Each edition can take place in a different location within the country. 

International bookings and an innovative approach to curating the festival’s lineup create a unique jazz event on a national scale, something never before seen in Poland. Inspired by the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival and North Sea Jazz Festival, this event has opened a new chapter in the Polish music scene and has confidently made its mark on the map of European jazz festivals.
