We now know the first artists who will perform in July at the 4th edition of the Łódź Summer Festival. Following a record-breaking 2025, the three-day, free festival returns with an even bigger program, a stronger lineup, and its trusted main partner—mBank. At Łódź Błonia, we’ll see stars of the Polish and international music scene, listened to by millions of music fans.
The Łódź Summer Festival 2026 will take place July 24–26, 2026, at Łódzkie Błonia, and admission will remain free.
The first headliner announced is Bastille, a British pop-rock supergroup. Their biggest hits, “Pompeii” and “Happier,” have racked up billions of streams on Spotify. The platinum-selling, BRIT Award-winning band has performed at Europe’s biggest and most prestigious festivals. They will headline the evening on Friday, July 24, 2026, and have announced that their concert in Łódź will be one of the most elaborate shows of their summer tour.
In addition to Bastille, the organizers of ŁSF have announced a total of ten artists representing various genres and generations of the music scene. They are: White 2115, Tede, DRE$$CODE, Justyna Steczkowska, Kacperczyk, Chivas, happysad, and Nocny Kochanek. This is also the most extensive and stylistically diverse first announcement in the history of the Łódź Summer Festival.
– Łódź is once again hosting the best summer music festival in Poland. After a record attendance of nearly half a million people in 2025, we’re not slowing down. We’re announcing ten artists, each of whom each brings a different level of experience, popularity, and stage presence to the lineup. In early 2026, we’ll surprise our audience with more big names from Poland and abroad. We already know the first headliner—Bastille—and we promise more big names to come! – says Hanna Zdanowska, Mayor of Łódź.
The festival’s carefully curated lineup brings together up-and-coming artists, young stars breaking streaming records, and performers with nearly thirty years of stage experience. It’s an offering for audiences of all ages—from young alternative music listeners to fans of classic rock, metal, and pop.
The Łódź Summer Festival continues to grow thanks to its collaboration with partners whose commitment helps maintain the event’s open format, expand its infrastructure, and produce high-quality concerts. In 2026, mBank will once again serve as the festival’s main partner, continuing the partnership that has been in place since the first edition.
At mBank, we support projects that bring real value to residents’ lives and help build a modern urban identity. The Łódź Summer Festival is one such project—a broad, diverse event designed to be accessible to everyone. We are proud to be part of an event of this scale and energy. We invite everyone to the festival, and especially mBank customers, for whom we have prepared additional surprises. – emphasizes Mateusz Żelechowski, Director of the Retail Banking Marketing Department at mBank
Once again, Łódź’s Błonia Park will transform into a large, full-scale festival village—featuring three stages, extensive food courts, technical infrastructure, partner zones, and a wide range of attractions and amenities for attendees. In 2026, nearly 30 performers will take the stage at the Łódź Summer Festival will feature nearly 30 performers, and the organizers emphasize that they want to create a space where many of them will present the biggest concerts of their careers to date.
– The success of the Łódź Summer Festival 2025 confirmed that Łódzkie Błonia is a venue capable of combining the scale of Europe’s largest festivals with an open, urban format accessible to all residents and visitors. In 2026, we are expanding this concept by focusing on an even bigger program, more extensive facilities, and collaboration with partners – says Tomasz Piotrowski, Deputy Mayor of Łódź and the festival’s founder.
The year 2025 brought the Łódź Summer Festival an important industry award. The festival won the the LOCAL SOME’25 Unicorn Event Golden Like during the 4th Local Government Congress on the Internet and Social Media—the only conference in Poland entirely dedicated to local government communication. The award was granted for the most engaging promotion of a city event on social media, recognizing both the scale of its reach and the consistently developed strategy for the festival’s online presence.
The organizers say this is just the beginning. Future announcements will reveal additional performers, including international artists, intended to reinforce the program’s international character.
