Polish music festivals Audioriver and Summer Dying Loud launch 2026

The Audioriver electronic music festival opened in Łódź on July 10, drawing thousands of fans from Poland and abroad. Headliners included The Prodigy, Disclosure and techno veteran Ben Klock, while the site featured multiple stages, relaxation zones and food areas. The three‑day event runs until July 12.

In the nearby town of Aleksandrów Łódzki, the Summer Dying Loud metal festival announced its 2026 lineup for September 3‑5. New acts such as the retro‑metal band Lucifer, Italy’s doom‑black project Ponte del Diavolo, and the Nordic folk‑post‑rock collective Helga were added to a roster that already features dozens of international metal groups.

Both festivals highlight the growing diversity of Poland’s live‑music scene, attracting audiences for electronic, heavy and experimental genres.
