Pol'and'RockFestival (previously known in PL as Woodstock). If you have never been cordially invited. The festival has been taking place in Kostrzyn on the Oder for a long time, so I have very close. You can not take advantage of it! At Woodstock, I'm probably the eighth time. (with accommodation at the campsite will be from 3, I add because Woodstock without a field is a bit of a cheated visit;)) It is really worth it. The fact that they play one of the best bands in the world is the first part. And the second is that nowhere else in the world you will meet so many people with a positive attitude to life as there. Do not believe the media that this is a convention of pathology. This is untruth created by people who did not even bother going there. It's just beautiful, it's positive, it's wonderful. Freedom love and music. It is known, incidents happen but with so many people it is inevitable. As I remember correctly, there was something more than 1,000,000 people during the Prodigy concert. By the way, one of the weakest in the history of this festival. In previous years, they performed, among others Prodigy, Shaggy, The Qemists, Archive, House of Pain, The Rums, Decapitated, Congo Natty, Shaka Ponk, CARRANTUOHILL & ELEONOR MCEVOY, Ky-Mani Marley,, Enter Shikari, Ugly Kid Joe, Anthrax, Damian Marley, Papa Roach and also Polish stars such as Nocny Kochanek, Lao Che, Łąki Łan, Dżem, Enej (before appearing in talentshow), Leszek Możdżer, Jelonek, Hunter, Budka Suflera or Electric Guitars and Poparzeni Kawą Trzy. I exchanged a few bands playing on the main stage and this year there were five scenes I remember correctly. It is amazing that the music at this festival is mixed up, you will see representatives of various music genres there, even Jazz as a special project by Wojtek Mazolewski with guests this year. Music defends itself but in reality the climate is created by people. Invariably wonderfully focused on the other person like nowhere else. You can easily use the phrase friendship's festival. And do not get me wrong this is not a rally of people from the LGBT community (of course I do not offend anyone and these people are also welcome). You just have to see it and feel it for yourself. I forgot to add that this event is completely free! The prices of beer or food are also very favorable. This is a event for us and not for making money. Respect for the creator - Jurek Owsiak.

Do not worry about the garbage, the appropriate services try to embrace the topic on a regular basis but due to the number of people there are slight delays. Every year after the party there is a big cleaning and the garbage goes where they belong. A few weeks and the place looks like nothing was happening there. It's hard to describe everything, there is also a tent of the Academy of Fine Arts where there are meetings of Polish stars from various fields but also politicians (including the President of Poland and Germany met one year). Since recently, the Academy has also hosted theatrical performances. Photos from two days of festival. But the second part was supposed to be something else. The first day I went to the field normally and on Saturday I managed to get there by bike. In the end, 100 burst, of which I am extremely happy. The return was difficult but I managed! The route was quite just a temperature of 33 ° C. It gave a burn. Literally. Hmm, what will be the next challenge?
