The festival, which began on Thursday runs until Sunday, is a major cultural event, especially designed to promote the diverse art forms from Eastern Partnership countries and beyond.
It is organized by the National Centre for Culture in collaboration with the local governments of Lublin, Rzeszów and Białystok, highlighting cultural collaboration among these cities in eastern Poland and their Eastern European neighbours.
This year's event takes audiences on a musical journey beyond Poland’s eastern border to neighbouring Ukraine and Belarus, culminating in the Caucasus with a showcase of alternative music in its many forms.
The lineup includes Flower & Pines, a Belarusian post-rock collective based in the southwestern Polish city of Wrocław, billed as one of the most intriguing bands on today's post-rock scene.
Other acts include Georgian experimental techno artist Newa and Ukrainian electronic musician and composer Olesia Onykiienko, who performs under the stage name NFNR.
In addition to music, festivalgoers in Lublin can enjoy film screenings, visual art exhibitions, workshops, and literary events highlighting culture from beyond Poland’s eastern border.
Admission is free, underscoring the festival’s mission to promote alternative music and encourage cross-cultural exchange.
