The story

Up To Date Festival Bialystok in Bialystok

Up To Date Festival is Bialystok's flagship music event, launched in 2009 by the Stowarzyszenie Pogotowie Kulturalno-Spoleczne cultural association. Focused on electronic, bass and hip-hop music alongside ambient and contemporary classical sets, it has grown from a former military warehouse into venues across the city, drawing over 10,000 visitors annually.

In 2007, a group in Bialystok formed the Stowarzyszenie Pogotowie Kulturalno-Spoleczne, a cultural association aimed at supporting artistic initiatives and social-cultural development in the Podlaskie region.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Founded by DJ Dtekk, whose real name is Jedrzej Dondzilo, and organized by the association he leads, the festival built its identity around three distinct stages: Pozdro Techno for techno, Centralny Salon Ambientu for ambient sets, and Beats for hip-hop and bass music, giving each genre its own dedicated space rather than blending everything onto one lineup

02

The mystery stays covered

It started in a repurposed former military warehouse, building number 10 on Weglowa Street, before expanding to include the Opera and Podlasie Philharmonic, the Branicki Palace grounds, and the Municipal Stadium as it grew

03

The city starts moving

By its 10th anniversary in 2019, the festival had become, in local description, Bialystok's flagship music event, backed by both the city hall and the Podlaskie regional government
