Tauron Nowa Muzyka Katowice 2026 Katowice, Poland
Overview
Tauron Nowa Muzyka Katowice is one of the most acclaimed music events in Europe, held annually in the unique setting of the Culture Zone (Strefa Kultury). This festival is famous for blending the post-industrial heritage of Silesia with the most modern sounds of electronic music, jazz, hip-hop, and pop. The event has repeatedly won the award for the Best Small Festival in Europe, confirming its exceptional character and dedication to the highest artistic and organizational quality.
The 2026 edition promises to continue the mission of discovering new trends, featuring both global stars and niche artists who define the future direction of music. This event is not limited to concerts; it is a platform for exchanging ideas, a place for art installations, and a meeting hub in the heart of modern Katowice. Located in a former coal mine that has become a symbol of revitalization, participants can feel the incredible energy of a city that has transformed from an industrial center into a prestigious UNESCO City of Music.

FAQ's
Is there a food court area with vegetarian options available at the festival?
Yes, the festival offers a very wide selection of food in the Food Court area, featuring food trucks with cuisine from all over the world. The organizers ensure diversity, so you will easily find numerous vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes. The food prices are affordable, and the quality of the meals served is usually significantly higher than at standard mass outdoor events.
How are payments handled for food and drinks on the festival grounds?
The festival has focused on modern solutions for years, so a completely cashless payment system is in effect throughout the site. You can pay directly with your payment card, phone, or watch at every catering point and bar. This keeps queues shorter and ensures that participants do not have to worry about carrying cash or special festival tokens.
Can minors participate in the festival?
Minors who have not reached the age of 16 can stay on the festival grounds only under the care of an adult and at their sole responsibility. Youth aged 16 to 18 can participate in the event independently, provided they have written consent from a legal guardian. For children up to the age of 10, entry to the festival is usually free, but a document confirming the child's age is required.
Does the festival have its own campsite for participants?
Tauron Nowa Muzyka is an urban festival and does not have its own campsite in the immediate vicinity of the stages in the Culture Zone. Most participants use the rich hotel and hostel base of Katowice, which offers accommodation for every budget. For those looking for a camping vibe, the campsite in the Valley of Three Ponds (Dolina Trzech Stawów) is recommended, from where access to the festival center takes about 10-15 minutes.
What happens in case of rain during the concerts?
Most of the main stages of the festival are located indoors or inside huge tent halls, which guarantees comfort regardless of the weather. Only some smaller stages or relaxation zones are fully open, but the location within modern buildings provides shelter in case of a downpour. However, it is recommended to have a light rain jacket for the time spent moving between the Silesian Museum buildings and the outdoor stages.
