Impact Days

The event showcases artists who make a powerful mark on the music scene. The previous four editions of the Impact Festival were held in Warsaw and Łódź – now it’s time for Kraków and Poland’s largest concert venue. On 15 June, Tauron Arena Kraków resounds with Linkin Park. The American musicians are touring their latest album One More Light, launched on 19 May by Warner Bros. The evening also features Krzysztof Zalewski and Machine Gun Kelly – rapper whose moniker is a nod to the prohibition era gangster.

The festival’s second day (17 June) is headlined by System of a Down. Three years ago, the Californian rockers gave a fantastic performance in Łódź. During their latest visit to Poland, Serj Tankian and Co. remind fans the true meaning of madness! Before they take the stage, the warmup acts are Royal Republic from Sweden and another American band, Red Sun Rising. Power, more power! (Artur Jackowski, "Karnet" magazine)
