OFF Festival Katowice is an alternative and indie music festival founded in 2006 by musician Artur Rojek, held each summer in the Dolina Trzech Stawow park. Known for a deliberately non-mainstream lineup spanning indie rock, electronic and experimental acts, it has built a reputation as one of Poland's most respected curated festivals.
OFF Festival's reputation rests on curatorial identity rather than headline-chasing bookings: founder Artur Rojek, formerly the frontman of the Polish band Myslovitz, built the festival specifically around artists operating outside commercial mainstream radio and streaming charts, favoring critically acclaimed indie, alternative and experimental acts over guaranteed ticket-selling names
Its setting in Dolina Trzech Stawow, the Valley of Three Ponds park in Katowice, gives the festival a green, lake-adjacent site distinct from the industrial-heritage venues used by some of the city's other major festivals
Not tied to an older folk custom
