They all played in Poland for the first time here. Since 2006, Tauron Nowa Muzyka Katowice has been spotting artists before they hit the mainstream – and inviting them to one of the most iconic festival locations in Europe.
It all started with a group of friends from the Hipnoza club.
The first edition. The disused Wilson mine shaft. DJ Krush, Swayzak, and Cristian Vogel on stage. The recipe proved simple. Sounds bordering on jazz, electronica, and dance rhythms. Consistently ignoring mainstream playlists. An audience that was exactly what they were looking for.
A festival that combines an industrial past with futuristic sound.
Stages set between the mine halls, the NOSPR concert hall, and the basement of the Silesian Museum. Avant-garde electronics resonate off the brick walls and steel structures.
This combination defines Katowice – a city that has transformed its industrial history into cultural energy.
The leading music event in Poland.
Every year, the most interesting newcomers and the greatest classics of contemporary electronica are featured. But also jazz, rock, and hip-hop artists. Representatives of contemporary and avant-garde music. Because TNMK attracts a specific audience. Conscious. Curious. Hungry for musical discovery. Anyone who comes here usually returns.
Three-time winner of Best Small Festival in Europe
Since 2006, Tauron Nowa Muzyka Katowice has been combining futuristic sounds with the post-industrial heritage of Upper Silesia – and this combination proved to be a recipe for success, appreciated by the European Festival Awards in 2010, 2012, and 2014.
