The story

Pol'and'Rock Festival in Czaplinek/Broczyno

Pol'and'Rock Festival is a free, multi-day open-air music festival organized by Poland's Wielka Orkiestra Swiatecznej Pomocy charitable foundation, led by Jerzy Owsiak. Formerly known as Przystanek Woodstock and held for over two decades in Kostrzyn nad Odra, it relocated to a former airfield near Czaplinek and Broczyno, drawing hundreds of thousands of attendees each summer to rock, metal and alternative stages alongside charity and discussion programming.

Pol'and'Rock Festival traces its roots to Przystanek Woodstock, the free open-air concert Jerzy Owsiak and the Wielka Orkiestra Swiatecznej Pomocy foundation began staging in the 1990s in Kostrzyn nad Odra as a thank-you to the volunteers who powered the foundation's annual winter fundraising drive for children's healthcare.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Pol'and'Rock's defining feature is that it is entirely free to attend, funded through the Wielka Orkiestra Swiatecznej Pomocy (Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity) foundation's fundraising and sponsorships rather than ticket sales, a model that has helped it grow into one of Europe's largest open-air festivals

02

The mystery stays covered

Its lineage runs back to Przystanek Woodstock, held annually in Kostrzyn nad Odra from the 1990s as a thank-you concert for volunteers of Owsiak's charity's winter fundraising drive, before rebranding and relocating to the Czaplinek and Broczyno area

03

The city starts moving

Beyond music, the festival runs an Academy of Life discussion program addressing social issues, a distinct electronic-music Ambush stage and a folk-and-world-music Yggdrasil stage, alongside a nightly ritual in which the crowd lights up phone torches during a signature song
