 A real celebration of fans of all kinds of progrock will last two days this year. On July 15 and 16, Katowice's Spodek will host a festival with Nick Mason from Pink Floyd and Steve Hackett from Genesis as headliners.

Rock concerts in Poland are extremely popular events for music fans. More and more well-known and popular artists come to our country with performances, which is a treat for lovers of good music. Especially summer is a great time, during which many music events are organized. Long evenings encourage you to spend time outdoors until late hours, and air-conditioned halls give relief from hot weather. And although it is pleasantly cool inside, the audience, music and creators themselves create a hot atmosphere just like during Summer Fog Festival.
