Pol’and’Rock Festival 2026, Czaplinek-Broczyno, Poland
Overview
Pol’and’Rock Festival, formerly known as Woodstock Festival Poland, is one of the largest free open-air music festivals in the world. Organized by the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOSP), this massive event is a grand gesture of thanks to the volunteers and supporters of the foundation’s medical charity work. Held at the Czaplinek-Broczyno Airfield, the festival is a unique “cultural Woodstock” that promotes the values of love, friendship, music, and peace, drawing hundreds of thousands of attendees from across Europe in a spirit of total freedom and mutual respect.
The 2026 edition continues to offer a staggering variety of musical genres across multiple stages, ranging from heavy metal and punk to folk, reggae, and electronic music. Beyond the massive wall of sound, the festival is famous for the Academy of the Finest Arts (ASP), a space where participants engage in meetings with prominent politicians, artists, and journalists. With its vibrant tent cities, mud baths, and unparalleled sense of community, Pol’and’Rock is not just a concert series but a social phenomenon that celebrates the power of the human spirit through the universal language of rock and roll.

FAQ's
Is the festival really free to attend for everyone?
Yes, the Pol’and’Rock Festival is completely free to enter and does not require a ticket for the main concerts or the Academy of the Finest Arts. The festival is a gift to the public from the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity for their support throughout the year. However, you should bring money for your own food, beverages, and any festival merchandise you might wish to purchase at the official store.
What is the "Rock Camp" and how does it differ from regular camping?
The regular camping fields are free and open to everyone, but they offer very basic facilities and can be quite crowded and loud. Rock Camp is a paid, fenced area that provides higher standards of security, cleaner toilets, and professional shower facilities for a set fee. If you prefer a bit more order and easier access to hygiene during the three-day event, booking a spot at the Rock Camp in advance is highly recommended.
Are there any rules regarding alcohol consumption on the festival grounds?
Alcohol is allowed in the camping areas, but there are strict regulations regarding the sale and consumption of alcohol in the immediate vicinity of the stages. Usually, only light beer is sold in designated catering zones to ensure the safety and sobriety of the crowd during performances. The festival prides itself on being a safe environment, and aggressive behavior caused by intoxication is not tolerated by the Peace Patrol security team.
What is the "Peace Patrol" and how do I find them if I need help?
The Peace Patrol is a group of trained volunteers wearing characteristic red or yellow t-shirts who handle security, information, and medical assistance. They are the heart of the festival's organization and are stationed every few hundred meters throughout the airfield and campsite. If you lose your belongings, feel unwell, or have any questions, you can approach any Peace Patrol member for friendly and professional help.
Can I bring my own food and cooking equipment to the campsite?
You are allowed to bring your own food and small portable gas stoves to the camping areas, provided they are used safely and away from flammable materials. However, open campfires are strictly prohibited on the airfield due to fire safety regulations and the risk of dry grass catching fire. There is a massive "Lidl" field supermarket and dozens of food stalls on-site, so many participants choose to buy fresh supplies daily rather than bringing everything.
