New names Open'er Festival 2025

Poland’s Open’er Festival is shaping up to be one of the hottest events this summer! Open’er once again reaffirms its status as one of the most unmissable music events in the world, announcing Jorja Smith, J Balvin, Schoolboy Q, Peso Pluma, Arca, Bambi, Dean Lewis, Wunderhorse, Fcukers, A. G. Cook, Zaho de Sagazan, Neil Frances present Club NF and Samara Cyn today.

British singer-songwriter Jorja Smith makes a triumphant return to Open’er, bringing her powerful, soulful voice and poignant songwriting to the Tent Stage on July 2. From her acclaimed 2018 debut Lost & Found to her 2023 follow-up Falling or Flying, which earned a 2024 BRIT nomination for Best R&B, Jorja has collaborated with icons like Kendrick Lamar, Kali Uchis, Drake, Stormzy, Burna Boy, and Childish Gambino. She continues to flourish artistically, and we’re thrilled to welcome her back to Gdynia.

Described by Billboard as “the biggest breakout act the Latin music industry has seen in many years,” Colombian global superstar J Balvin will light up the Tent Stage on July 3. Known for hits with Beyoncé, J Lo, Shakira, and Skrillex, and for leading a new wave of Latin Urban music, Balvin recently released his sixth studio album Rayo in 2024, further cementing his role as a genre-defying hitmaker.

A cultural icon and one of the most exciting new voices in global music, Peso Pluma will bring his groundbreaking sound to the Orange Main Stage on July 4. His 2023 album GÉNESIS smashed records and earned him a Grammy, while his 2024 release ÉXODO climbed to #5 on the Billboard 200. With collaborations featuring Karol G, Becky G, Anitta, and DJ Snake, Peso Pluma’s Open’er debut is not to be missed.

After five years away from the spotlight, hip-hop heavyweight ScHoolboy Q returns with his introspective new album Blue Lips (2024)—his most personal and sharpest project to date. Known for Oxymoron, Blank Face, and Grammy-nominated hits, Q will perform on the Tent Stage on July 2, bringing gritty energy and lyrical depth to the festival.

Visionary artist and producer Arca defies definition. A trans, nonbinary innovator whose work spans music, tech, art, and fashion, Arca has produced for Björk and FKA twigs, DJed for Frank Ocean, and developed custom technologies to remix her own music live. Her Grammy-nominated KiCK i project and boundary-pushing performances make her one of the most fascinating figures in modern music. Experience her at Open’er this summer.

Polish sensation Bambi takes the Orange Main Stage on July 4. Blending rap, trap, and pop, she’s become a household name with her breakout debut in real life and 2024 follow-up TRAP OR DIE, which landed in Spotify’s global top debut rankings. Bambi’s raw energy and originality are sure to captivate her hometown crowd.

Australian singer-songwriter Dean Lewis brings his heartfelt anthems to the Alter Stage on July 4. With over 12 billion global streams and hits like “Be Alright,” Dean has collaborated with Kygo and Martin Garrix, and his 2024 album The Epilogue continues his emotional storytelling legacy.

One of France’s most compelling new voices, Zaho de Sagazan blends chanson, electro, and darkwave with poetic depth. A winner of four French Music Awards and a Cannes and Olympics performer, she will make her Polish debut on the Alter Stage, July 3.

British alt-rockers Wunderhorse will perform on Alter Stage, July 2, bringing their raw energy and powerful songwriting to Gdynia. Known for standout live shows and support slots with Pixies and Sam Fender, the band is one of the UK’s fastest-rising acts.

New York’s own Fcukers are a genre-melting force of house, trip-hop, and indie rock, igniting dancefloors from Paris to Tokyo. With their debut EP Baggy$$ making waves, they’ll hit Alter Stage on July 2 with their high-octane, unpredictable performance.

The boundary-pushing producer behind Charli xcx’s evolution and recent co-writer for Beyoncé, A. G. Cook brings his inventive sounds to the Alter Stage on July 4. With the release of his third album Britpop, Cook continues to blur the lines of pop, club, and the experimental.

L.A. duo Neil Frances reimagine their sound through CLUB NF, a euphoric dance-forward live set inspired by rave culture and packed with seamless grooves. Catch them at the Flow Stage on July 4.

Genre-bending rapper and singer Samara Cyn hits the Flow Stage on July 5. Her debut album The Drive Home and recent single “Pop n Olive” showcase her lyrical honesty and smooth vocal style, solidifying her place as a rising force in R&B and hip-hop.

These new additions join previously announced stars Linkin Park, Massive Attack, Nine Inch Nails, Doechii, Gracie Abrams, Tyla, St. Vincent, Caribou, FKA Twigs, Jpegmafia, and Lola Young to name a few, with more surprises still to come.

Taking place in Gdynia between July 2nd–5th, 2025, Open’er Festival, which was crowned Best Major Festival at the European Festival Awards 2024 during Eurosonic Noorderslag (ESNS), is a must-attend experience that never fails to deliver world-class talent and an unforgettable atmosphere. Set against the stunning backdrop of Poland’s Baltic coast, this legendary festival attracts over 100,000 music lovers from around the globe each year.

From its humble beginnings in Warsaw in 2002, Open’er has grown into one of Europe’s most internationally acclaimed music festivals. Since 2006, its home has been the unique and expansive grounds of a former military airfield, adding to the festival’s raw, electric atmosphere. With multiple stages, immersive art installations, film screenings, and food from across the globe, Open’er is much more than a music festival—it’s a celebration of culture, creativity, and connection.

With world-class talent, unforgettable vibes, and a setting like no other, Open’er Festival 2025 is shaping up to be one for the history books.
