  • Polish artist Piotr Rogucki is launching a three-year project titled "Rogucki x 30" to celebrate his 30th anniversary in the music industry.
  • The project, spanning 2026-2028, aims to explore new creative avenues through new music, albums, stage formats, and concerts, focusing on future artistic development rather than past achievements.
  • The anniversary will be marked by an autumn concert tour called "Transmutations" featuring Rogucki & Normalni Ludzie, presenting new arrangements of his solo and band work, alongside new material.

Piotr Rogucki, a prominent figure in Polish music, is embarking on an ambitious artistic endeavor, "Rogucki x 30," to commemorate three decades on stage. Far from a retrospective, this multi-year project, set to unfold between 2026 and 2028, is envisioned as a launchpad for new creative explorations. It promises a fresh look at Rogucki's extensive body of work through the creation of new songs, albums, original stage concepts, and concerts.

Rogucki describes the project as a "creative process" rather than a historical summary. He emphasizes that "Rogucki x 30" is built on experiences, memories, archives, and artistic quests, but its core focus remains firmly on the future. "Three decades on stage is a lot of emotions, memories, and experiences. It's hard to put into words," Rogucki stated. "I've learned that community brings the most satisfaction, that collective work and drawing on enthusiasm is most creative and inspiring. That's why I always strive for collective action and love to share."

The project aims to be a space for exchanging experiences with fans, collaborators, and loved ones. "In the 'Rogucki x 30' project, I share my experience and transformation, my own transmutations โ€“ with fans, with artists, with loved ones. It's a very creative and living process, through which I look to the future, not the past. 30 years is a new beginning," the artist highlighted.

The first phase of this initiative is the "Transmutations" concert tour, featuring Rogucki & Normalni Ludzie. This tour will delve into music from various stages of Rogucki's career, including his solo work and his contributions to the bands Coma and Karaล›/Rogucki. Familiar compositions will be reimagined with new arrangements by the Normalni Ludzie band, and the setlist will also include brand-new material. The concerts are designed to explore themes of transformation and the continuous search for new modes of expression, promising a multi-dimensional spectacle that blends music, theater, spoken word, and performance art.
