Event Details
What is Audioriver Festival?
The Audioriver Festival is one of the oldest and most established electronic and underground music festivals in Poland. Founded in 2005 on the beach in Płock, it has grown into one of the leading gatherings for techno, house and drum and bass fans in Central and Eastern Europe. Since 2024 the festival has taken place at Łódzkie Błonia, a large park in the Retkinia district of Łódź.
When does Audioriver Festival 2026 take place?
The twentieth anniversary edition runs from 10 to 12 July 2026, Friday through Sunday. Multiple stages keep the music going almost around the clock into the early morning hours. An official date for 2027 has not yet been confirmed by the organizers; based on previous editions, another July weekend is likely.
Where is the festival held and how do you get there?
The festival takes place at Łódzkie Błonia, ul. Konstantynowska 96 in Łódź. The site is an open park landscape with several main stages spaced far enough apart to avoid lineup clashes. From Warsaw, the train to Łódź takes around two and a half hours; from there a taxi or rideshare to the festival grounds is recommended. Camping is available but must be booked separately from the festival pass.
