The Energy of Culture Gala, an awards ceremony organized by Toya TV and Klub Wytwórnia, took place on February 20 and was attended by representatives of cultural institutions, the entertainment industry, and city officials. Among the nominees was Carlos Santana’s concert, organized by Live Nation at Atlas Arena, which the artist performed at the Łódź venue on June 9, 2025.
A unique concert among the year's most significant events
Carlos Santana’s concert at Atlas Arena kicked off the European leg of the “Oneness Tour” and was the legendary guitarist’s only performance in Poland that year. The artist performed a selection of songs spanning his more than 50-year career, and the event drew a huge crowd; Atlas Arena was completely sold out.
