The story

Krakow Live Festival in Krakow

Krakow Live Festival is a Krakow music festival that began in 2006 as the Coke Live Music Festival, hosting major international acts before rebranding, and its current status is uncertain after cancellations in 2020, 2021, 2023, and 2024.

Krakow Live Festival's story begins in 2006 as the Coke Live Music Festival, a single-day event held on a side pitch belonging to the Wisla Krakow football club, headlined that first year by Jay-Z and Shaggy, with a planned Sugababes appearance cancelled at the last minute for personal reasons.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

In its earliest years as the Coke Live Music Festival, the event punched well above the usual weight of a Central European festival, booking headliners including Jay-Z, Rihanna, The Prodigy, Timbaland, Missy Elliott, and Sean Paul between 2006 and 2013, a roster more typical of major Western European festivals than a single-city Polish event

02

The mystery stays covered

After losing its Coca-Cola sponsorship, the festival was reborn in partnership with the City of Krakow under its current name, but its recent history has been marked by repeated cancellations, making its ongoing viability genuinely uncertain
