A place where post-industrial stopped being an aesthetic and became an address.

You get off the train, walk 15 minutes, and you're at the festival. On the way: modernism, brutalism, Art Nouveau, a mine shaft, and Spodek. This is the location of TNMK — the Culture Zone in Katowice, in the very heart of the 2-million-strong Metropolis GZM.

  • Culture Zone

    Four buildings, one gravitational field. NOSPR with acoustics that engineers from all over the world come to measure. The International Congress Centre with a roof that looks as if someone had cut the building with a knife. The Silesian Museum buried in the former Katowice coal mine — underground exhibitions, the "Warszawa" hoisting shaft as the central point.

  • Through the green roof

    Psst — if you look closely, the green roof of the ICC looks like a trace left by a skidding UFO. Like the Spodek (Saucer).

    This is where we set up the festival. Between concrete and grass, between modernism and post-industry. Short distances, a stage design that cannot be built — because it's already there.

  • Katowice

    A city that turned coal into culture and didn't make a marketing slogan out of it — it just did it. UNESCO City of Music. The Culture Zone, where the festival takes place, was established on the site of the liquidated Katowice mine.

Metropolis GZM

2.1 million people, 41 municipalities, one organism. The Metropolis GZM (Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowska Metropolia) is the largest polycentric agglomeration in Poland — Katowice, Gliwice, Zabrze, Bytom, Sosnowiec, Tychy, Chorzów. City boundaries blur on the tram.
