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. Mystic Festival 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.
This day was slightly plagued with coastal weather, as Gdańsk is located by the Baltic Sea, featuring spotty conditions. Not that it would stop a metalhead from enjoying their favorite bands, but it made it slightly challenging. Check our gallery of the festival’s first day here…
