From Japanese folk to industrial sounds, from jazz improvisations to psychedelic trance, from indie rock to meditative folk journeys — these are just a few of the musical paths you’ll be able to follow during this year’s edition of the Different Sounds Festival, taking place in Lublin from July 3–6, 2025.
This year marks the 18th edition of Lublin’s Different Sounds and the 12th as part of East of Culture: a project by the National Centre for Culture, funded by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, linking the eastern Polish cities of Lublin, Białystok, and Rzeszów
The core philosophy of Different Sounds has always been a deep dive into cross-genre exploration, showcasing artists who fearlessly push musical boundaries. In line with this philosophy, this year’s festival welcomes bold and brilliant acts such as Zamilska, Raphael Rogiński & Iztok Koren, Ivo Shandor & The Gozer Worshipers, Mitsune, MaidaVale, and Emmeluth’s Amoeba
