Mery Spolsky will present a unique project, "Mery Spolsky gra Kontrolฤ W. i Kosmetyki Mrs. Pinki," offering her interpretation of new wave music associated with the festival's 1980s scene. Additionally, the influential reggae band Bakshish, which began its history at the festival in 1983, returns with its signature roots reggae sound. The lineup also features emerging artist Jacko Brango and heavier acts like Okrรผtnik and Sick Saints.
This is the most musical Jarocin of this century.
