A new festival on the map of Poland. Will BITTERSWEET Festival fill the gap left by the FEST Festival?

Last year, the musical summer in Poland lost its flavor and intensity. Everyone who attends the FEST Festival in Chorzów feels it (check) was an obvious highlight on the calendar. The domestic scene needs greater diversity among festival formats, and western Poland needs a large-scale musical event that will become its international showcase.

The Poznań-based concert agency Good Taste Production, which has been creating the music scene in Poland for 10 years, decided to face these challenges by announcing the creation of a new festival brand.

BITTERSWEET Festival will take place on August 14-16, 2025 in the green heart of Poznań. There will be stages in the Cytadela Park where foreign headliners and local stars will perform – providing a mix of musical flavors and emotions. The strategic partner of the event is Eventim.

BITTERSWEET Festival will be an impulse for the community, an inspiration and a response to the need for close, authentic experiences. A wealth of experiences will be guaranteed by numerous zones, an artistic and workshop program, social campaigns, involvement of partners, as well as the location of the festival town itself – in the largest park in Poznań.

Good Taste Production emphasizes its Poznań origins and announces that BITTERSWEET Festival is the fulfillment of their dream of organizing a summer festival of this scale “at home”.

“Our thoughts have long revolved around creating an international festival on such a scale. Today we have the experience to make this dream come true and create a long-awaited summer event in Poznań that will permeate the fabric of the city. We know that a festival is not only about music. It is, above all, people and emotions, their experiences and experiences, experiences and sentiments, bittersweet separations and returns. BITTERSWEET Festival is intended to stimulate the senses and create memories. And in the long run, it will become a permanent point on the festival map of Poland,” the organizers announce.

New information will soon appear on the event's social media.
