If you’ve been waiting for your big break, stop waiting and start applying. NEXT FEST is rolling back into Poznań this April — and this isn’t your average local jam session. This is where next-gen artists meet the industry heavyweights — and if you play your cards (and chords) right, it could be your ticket out of your bedroom studio and onto Poland’s biggest stages.
Applications are open until the end of January, so if you’ve got the sound, the energy, and at least one friend who can hold a camera steady for your promo clip — now’s the time.
From day one, NEXT FEST has been all about music trends, real connections, and equal chances — giving fresh talent the mic next to Poland’s top players. The idea? To bridge the gap between dreamers, doers, and the music biz — because who knows, your next DM could be from a record label instead of your cousin asking for a guest list spot.
This three-day takeover of Poznań is going full volume next April — think 100+ concerts, wild afterparties, unexpected collabs, and spontaneous stories that’ll live longer than your hangover.
It’s not just about performing either — there’ll be industry talks, panels, and networking moments where you can casually bump into producers, managers, or someone who’s “just in publishing” but actually runs half the Polish charts.
To jump in, all you need to do is hit NextFest.pl, fill out the form, and wait for the magic email that says you’re in.
NEXT FEST is where debutants become discoveries — and this year, that discovery could be you.
So plug in, polish those demos, and get ready to turn your next step into a full-blown next era.
Deadline: End of January
