Open'er Festival
Summer is coming. Have you already planned your holidays? Poland is offering you Open'er Festival which this year takes place between 28.06-01.07 in Gdynia - Kosakowo Airport.
"Open'er is one of the most amazing music experiences you can imagine. If you are in Poland at the time of the festival, it's a must for you to join this awesome event! I was there already twice - first time in 2011 for the concert of Coldplay and in 2016 for Florence and the Machine performance. And trust me... Once you start, you can never stop. You will fall in love with Gdynia and Open'er!", says one of the Open'er fans. Indeed, in 2016 Open'er was awarded "Promoter of the year" by European Festival Awards and is a member of Yourope and stating: "We are European festival promoters, bringing culture, music, art and design to millions of young people every year. Our events are a peaceful and joyful get together of many different people in a limited space over a limited time. Together with our audience we are a community through our passion for music, culture and through our love of festivals." (source: http://opener.pl/en/About/Yourope).
Since 2002 the festival has evolved into one of the most important music events in Poland and in Europe. It was Open'er which first introduced the system of festival wristbands. It features important artists who never visited Poland before, and often played there just once: Blur, Prince, Coldplay, The Strokes, Snoop Dogg, The White Stripes, Sigur Ros, Franz Ferdinand, Kanye West, Muse, Kings Of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, Justice, Mumford & Sons or Interpol.
