Soundrive Festival, or in other words –  alternative music in Gdansk

Soundrive Festival 2022 is nearly 100 concerts from 9th to 13th August 2022, all on the premises of Gdansk Shipyard.

Who can you hear at the Soundrive Festival? First of all young, promising bands associated with soundrive.pl website. Although the organizers focus on a variety of music, most of the bands present broadly defined alternative music.

The history of the Festival dates back to 2012. Since then it has changed its location many times, still remaining in the Tri-City. Bands such as Tito and Tarantula, Iamamiwhoami and Austra have performed at Soundrive so far.

As Arkadiusz Hronowski – one of the event’s lead organizers – said in an interview for Top Guitar: “We don‘t want to be a big festival, like there are quite a few in Poland. We want to have our own world, space and music. We shortened the name to Soundrive Fest, we moved to the industrial spaces at the Gdańsk Shipyard and there we want to develop the event based on the existing infrastructure.”
