Tauron Nowa Muzyka Katowice 2023
The Tauron Nowa Muzyka festival has been transformed from a one-day niche musical event taking place in the former Wilson mine shaft into a four-day music festival organized in the heart of Katowice.
The history of the "Nowa Muzyka" festival began in 2006 in Katowice, when a group of friends connected with the Hipnoza music club decided to organize their own music festival. DJ Krush, Swayzak, and Cristian Vogel performed during the first edition of the festival held in the defunct Wilson shaft of the Wieczorek coal mine.
The next two editions took place in Cieszyn. Since 2009, the festival has returned to Katowice for good. At first, the festival was held at the site of the inactive Katowice coal mine, and in 2012-2013 - in the Valley of Three Ponds.
Since 2014, the festival has been held at the Katowice Culture Zone which was created on the site of the closed and later revitalized Katowice coal mine in the Bogucice district.
The Tauron Nowa Muzyka Festival in Katowice was the first to offer the public the opportunity to dance and have fun in post-industrial mining sites.
