The Hells Bells Festival will take place in Szczecin on June 26 and 27!
Punk rock and metal stars will perform at Łasztownia, in the atmospheric harbor area where the city’s heart beats this summer. The organizers have invited true legends such as Udo Dirkschneider, UK Subs, Pro-Pain, Possessed, Grave Digger, and Discharge. The top acts of the Polish scene will also be there, including Vader, Dezerter, Furia, and The Analogs. In addition to the genre’s classics, we’ll also see the best representatives of the younger generation—including bands like Pretensje, My Own Abyss, and Seks W Czasach Wojny.
The Hells Bells Festival is taking place for the first time, but it has already captured the attention of audiences and critics from all over Poland. The intriguing, powerful lineup not only blends the best of metal and punk rock but also reaches further—featuring, among others, horrorcore rapper Słoń and the atmospheric project Drowned In Silver. The concerts will take place on two outdoor stages and a third indoor stage at CKE Stara Rzeźnia. The event has a great visual identity—Rafał “Too Mamy Skulls” Wechterowicz is responsible for the design and logo.
The Szczecin festival is located on Łasztownia, specifically at Plac Gryfitów—a square best known for its Paprykarz monument. This waterfront area is accessible via beautiful boulevards, and visitors will also have easy access to the Holiday Park amusement park and the beach on Grodzka Island. The festival grounds will feature a restaurant with a substantial menu (including pork chops and paprykarz) as well as food trucks. There will be plenty of additional attractions, such as a tattoo zone and a merch market.
VIP tickets are still available, which, in addition to gifts, provide access to the VIP area with a separate bar and VIP restrooms. It’s also worth noting the family pass option and discounted tickets for minors.
