We’re also heartbroken because their SpaceFest concert is among the cancelled ones. We’re sorry to communicate it as we were also looking forward to their gig. Hopefully, next year we’ll have more luck and invite them again. And in the meantime we’re looking for another band to step in and play a gig on 7 Dec.

Jest nas dużo, ale jeśli ktoś z Was gra na instrumentach dętych i chciałby się przyłączyć, to niech szybko pisze na love@spacefest.pl. Może rzutem na taśmę uda się jeszcze wejść do składu!
Popsysze (Nasiono Records) played at SpaceFest during the first editions accompanying such artists as Damo Suzuki or Lætitia Sadier, and this time they they will play their own material inspired by wild and mysterious nature. We’ll see what gods of Kashubian psychedelia will send us!
EYRE LLEW are conquering Asia a the moment but in December they will play in Gdansk at SpaceFest. We’re in for a treat of beautiful, ethereal sounds. If you’re fans of bands such as Sigur Rós or Mogwaii, this concert will move you deeply.
And here’s a taste of what’s to come: https://youtu.be/thjd8_8OJdE
We’re happy to announce that the 2018 edition of Pure Phase Ensemble will be curated by Will Carruthers who has played in 33 bands over thirty years, perhaps most notably in Spacemen3, Spiritualized, Spectrum, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Dead Skeletons. The effects of the band’s work will be presented live on 8 December on the SpaceFest! stage at B90 club. The entire set will be recorded and released on CD in 2019.

Here are the results of the competition. SpaceFest! 2018 line-up will be joined by Columbus Duo from Gdańsk (noise, minimal, drone, ambient, improv duo), XDZVØNX from Wroclaw (sacral noize/dark electro – weird psych experimental sounds). Special mention: Sunset Images from Mexico (guitar psych, experimental noize with shoegaze elements).
It’s going to be massive and hypnotizing (and sometimes strange)!
