Orange Warsaw Festival

The Orange Warsaw Festival is the two-day festival at the Służewiec horse-racing track, in Warsaw. The title sponsor is Orange. Wikipedia leaves the organiser as Alter Art from 2016, and the start in 2008. The site, read on 28 September 2026, still sells a later weekend in mid-August and writes that they will see each other in a year. Those dates stay out. The address is kept.

The note from the Orange press office, on 18 April 2013, fixes the first edition on 6 September 2008, open and free, on Plac Defilad, with more than 35,000 people and six concerts. The first two editions were on that square. 2011 and 2012, at the Legia stadium. The 2013 one, at the National Stadium. The same note says the festival also passed through the Służewiec track, which is the place now. Onet, on 7 September 2008, names Kelly Rowland, Wyclef Jean, Apollo 440 and Teddybears, plus Jan Borysewicz in the tribute to Tadeusz Nalepa and the Cafe Fogg project, with Mika Urbaniak, Marysia Sadowska, Paulina Przybysz, Ola Nieśpielak, Sławek Uniatowski and Muzykoterapia. Wikipedia adds Pinnawela in that tribute to Mieczysław Fogg. There are no song titles in those notes. Orange writes that in 2008 and 2009 the Snap agency organised it, from 2010 to 2012 TVN, and in 2013 Rochstar Events. Wikipedia stretches Rochstar to 2015 and puts Alter Art from 2016. The Orange release about that partnership calls 2016 the ninth edition, the first weekend of June, and says the eight before it drew almost half a million people and more than 120 artists. Mikołaj Ziółkowski, of Alter Art, speaks.

Tymoteusz Hołysz, in Interia, walks Saturday 31 May 2025. CGM fixes Friday the 30th and Saturday the 31st at Służewiec, with more than 50,000 people, and says Saturday sold out. Hołysz opens with Szczyl and a live jazz group. He names Hiphopkryta, Anastazja, Byłaś Ze Mną Wczoraj, Promil, Jaraj and the preview piece Paranoję. Then Bladee. The bass hits and he runs across the stage, but for a good half of the slot the microphone is off. Hołysz still closes YUNG SHERMAN, I DONT LIKE PEOPLE, WODRAINER, Hero of My Story 3style3 and Be Nice 2 Me, the last one in a hardstyle arrangement.

On the Warsaw Stage, Margaret plays Tańcz głupia. The tent does not fit. From the stage she asks if they will let themselves be hired, and the crowd sings Dalej biegnę. At the end she cries. On the Orange Stage, Marina, no longer in diamonds and with a band, opens with Venus Fly Trap and goes on with Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land, How to Be a Heartbreaker, BUTTERFLY and CUNTISSIMO. Hołysz adds an uncensored song whose title talks about chewing gum, and he does not print the name. Charli XCX opens with 365 featuring shygirl. Behind her, a torn sheet with one word, BRAT. Von Dutch, Guess, Club Classics and Everything is romantic follow. On Apple she crosses the stage with a glass of wine. From further back: Unlock It, Vroom Vroom and Blame It On Your Love, danced under stage rain. On Saturday the weather is fine. She closes with I Love It. On the screens she asks people not to let brat summer die.

Hołysz ends in the Netflix zone of the show Rhythm + Flow. Sokół introduces Zippy Ogar. Po Mojemu Albo Po Mnie, Hałas and Gdyby Nie sound, and from the album JEDEN ORGANIZM with Bracki: POMIĘDZY, ZŁY DZIEŃ and NOWY WOKAL. K MAG, in the same zone, writes another show name, Nowe rozdanie, and another piece, W co ja się wjebałem. The two notes stay together. K MAG walks Friday's Chappell Roan and closes Hot To Go, Good Luck, Babe! and Pink Pony Club. Bambi closes the Tent Stage, with no loose title. CGM writes that Charli told a message from Chappell: You better be ready for this Warsaw crowd. Jamie xx opens the Orange Stage on Friday, with no loose title. Barry Can't Swim closes the Warsaw Stage, also with no title. CGM adds, with no loose title, Loreen and Michael Kiwanuka on that Saturday, and on the Polish side Kuban, Chivas, Hubert., Sara James, Coals and Lordofon. K MAG writes that on Friday, for Chappell, a castle rose, with visuals and costume changes.

The weight of that weekend falls on pop, rap and big-stage rock. Wikipedia adds indie, alternative rock and club electronics. Those last three have no closed song in Hołysz's review. The track is still the place the page shows. Orange is still in the name. Alter Art is still the organiser Wikipedia leaves from 2016.
