The Polish Mystic Festival has a lengthy tradition as it first launched in 1999. It suffered an over a decade-long break and came back with a proper bang in 2019. Then, unfortunately, promoters were forced by the pandemic to pause their efforts. MysticFestival came back in 2022 and showed that Gdańsk, Poland, is soon to become a new destination on the festival map of Europe. One to be reckoned with and worth putting your tabs on. This year, Mystic Festival was celebrating its 25th anniversary and invited a plethora of eclectic artists, both international and domestic, to honor the occasion. The festival’s final day concluded with bands like GHØSTKID, OWLS WOODS GRAVES, UNTIL I WAKE, LORD OF THE LOST, BEWITCHED, Kerry King, DARK FUNERAL, ENTER SHIKARI, ASPHYX, SATYRICON, BRING ME THE HORIZON, and CHELSEA WOLFE.
