The Lowdown
Summer in Poznań just got a serious upgrade. If you’ve been looking for the ultimate outdoor vibe, we’ve got three words for you: Scena nad Rusałką. Launched last year and already earning a rep as the place to be during the warmer months, this lakeside stage is bringing big energy, fresh beats, and chilled-out evenings back for 2025. And the best part? All 43 concerts are totally free. A big shout-out also to Zosia Blew for the amazing photos.
What Is Scena nad Rusałką?
Set right by the scenic Lake Rusałka, just outside the busy city center of Poznańn (short Uber ride) Scena nad Rusałką is a laid-back concert zone where music meets nature. Supported by the Poznań Civic Budget, this project has turned the lakeside into a cultural hotspot. Whether you’re into indie, hip-hop, electronic, or acoustic vibes, this stage has something for everyone.
We already spoke with the owners of the nearby Rusałka Restaurant (peep that interview [here]), and they promised 2025 would go even harder. Safe to say, they’re keeping that promise.
Concert Lineup You Don’t Want to Miss
The season kicks off May 1 with a killer 3-day opener:
