Nearly 100 artists, more than a dozen stages in the city center, and three days of concerts, events, and musical surprises. Great September kicks off today, Thursday, September 10. The lineup includes Zalewski, Julia Wieniawa, and Andrzej Piaseczny, as well as special Secret Shows by Igor Herbut, Michał Wiśniewski, and vgtbl.pl.
Igor Herbut in a premiere performance in an intimate setting
Igor Herbut will be the headliner of one of the Secret Shows. During an intimate solo performance, the artist will premiere songs from his upcoming album, *Żeremie*. The event will mark the release of the single “Jak Ci jest?” and will include a brief conversation with the artist. The audience will be among the first to hear the new material live and get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Igor Herbut’s next album.
Eventim is a partner of the event.
What happens when Cherry meets the Vegetables?
At Great September, there are no musical boundaries, and one of this year’s most unexpected collaborations is set to take place today. Michał Wiśniewski and vgtbl.pl will join forces
behind the turntables for a joint DJ set. This one-of-a-kind performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. at Larum. The organizers promise that it might be a bit strange, but it’s sure to be a hit, and you’ll only get to see it once—right here in Łódź and only at Great September. Admission to the DJ set is open to all festival attendees with wristbands. As with the other concerts, the number of spots
at the club is limited.

Michał Wiśniewski will also be a guest at the conference portion of the event. The frontman of Ich Troje will meet with the creators of Podcastex to discuss the band’s phenomenon, the behind-the-scenes story of its peak popularity, and the changes that have taken place in Polish music over the past three decades, all in celebration of the band’s 30th anniversary. The heart of the festival’s conference portion will be the Pinokio Theater at
75/77 Sienkiewicza St. Concerts will take place at venues including the Łódź Event Center, the Grand Hotel, Teatr Club, Wooltur, 6. Dzielnica, Łódź Kaliska, Prywatka, Iron Horse Pub, Cabaret Club, and the House of Literature. The mBank ON TOUR mobile stage will be set up in Schiller Passage.
