Music Week Poland 2026

Music Week Poland returns to Warsaw from 6–10 May 2026, launching its second year with big ambitions, a major keynote, and a first-wave artist lineup that underlines Poland’s rapidly rising cultural influence across Europe.

Set against the striking backdrop of the Museum of Polish History, the interdisciplinary showcase and industry conference brings together artists and professionals from across the continent for five days of live music, talks, workshops and networking — positioning Poland firmly as a creative bridge between East and West.

Leading the conference programme is first keynote speaker Justin O’Connor, who will deliver a bold call to rethink culture as a vital force for democracy, imagination and change. The event is spearheaded by CEO Tamara Kamińska and Artistic Director Jarek Szubrycht, with the aim of creating meaningful connections across Europe’s fast-evolving music ecosystem.

The newly announced first-wave lineup spotlights cutting-edge talent from across the region, including Poland’s Ciśnienie, daltonists and Loveworms, Bulgaria’s sibling duo IVA, Slovenia’s Haiku Garden, Norway’s Mildfire, Czech favourites I Love You Honey Bunny, Romanian duo K not K, Estonia’s Echo Love and Finland’s Luna Kills — spanning indie-rock, jazz, nu-metal, afrobeats and beyond, with many more artists still to come.

Following a successful debut in 2025 featuring over 60 showcase performances, Music Week Poland 2026 promises an expanded programme of masterclasses and industry sessions alongside its live showcases, creating an open, forward-thinking space for artists, business leaders and cultural innovators to exchange ideas and explore new opportunities.

With Early Bird Pro Passes now on sale, Music Week Poland is shaping up to be one of Europe’s most exciting new music gatherings — a forward-looking meeting point for discovery, dialogue and collaboration. See you in Warsaw.
