Mystic Festival

Mystic Festival is all about music. Some of the biggest stars in and around metal have already performed under this banner, including Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Slayer, King Diamond, Slipknot, Nightwish and Celtic Frost. We host both living legends and the hottest phenomena of the season. Mystic Festival is also a unique space in the Gdansk Shipyard. We have five music stages – open-air and indoor – as well as a cinema, exhibitions, and a venue for meetings and debates. There is also a foodtrack, craft beer and entertainment zone where you can relax in between concerts. Mystic Coalition is an alliance of companies with rich experience in the concert, festival and publishing industries, comprising Knock Out Productions, Mystic Production, and B90.
