Bittersweet Festival sees sold-out crowds amid 2027 scheduling conflict

The Bittersweet Festival in Poznań has seen significant success, with its recent edition selling out well in advance. On a single day, the event hosted approximately 40,000 attendees at the Poznań Citadel. The festival featured multiple stages and performances from artists including Sophia Stel, Becky Hill, Jessie J, and Lorde.

During her performance, Jessie J shared that she had been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer but is currently cancer-free. The festival's lineup also included a headline performance by Lorde.

Looking ahead to 2027, a scheduling conflict has emerged between Bittersweet Festival and the Orange Warsaw Festival. While Bittersweet is set to take place from August 12–14, 2027, Orange Warsaw Festival has announced it will move its dates to August 13–14, 2027. This shift places the two major events on the same weekend in different cities, creating direct competition for sponsors, headliners, and audiences.
