If anything, metal music is niche. Don´t agree? Then you should definitely go to this festival. This is for the acolytes of the dark genre. Originating in Kraków in 1999, Mystic Festival had a number of other hosts before finding itself in Gdańsk on the stormy Baltic coast in 2021. Finding itself once again in the historic shipyards in 2024, the ever-reliable heavy-weight lineup features headliners Bring Me The Horizon, Megadeth, and Machine Head, in addition to a score of other Polish and international artists:
