Free parking is available at the Metropolitan Station (Dworzec Metropolitalny) and Lublin G\u0142\u00f3wny Railway Station (Dworzec PKP Lublin G\u0142\u00f3wny), both approximately a 10-minute walk from the festival area in the People\u2019s Park.<\/p>\n Paid parking is available at Arena Lublin and at Targi Lublin, both approximately a 5-minute walk from the festival area in the People\u2019s Park.<\/p>\n Parking around the Old Town is located in a paid parking zone from Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 18:00.

There, you can relax on comfortable deckchairs and pallet seating, buy festival merchandise, take part in the Indie Labels\u2019 Fair, and get a sneak peek at rehearsals of the bands performing in the evening.

Hot weather is expected. You can bring your own water bottle to the festival, but drinks will also be available for purchase on site.<\/p>\n Your non-musical cravings will be satisfied in the festival Food Truck Zone! In the People\u2019s Park, you\u2019ll find a carefully selected lineup of food trucks that will meet your culinary needs. We\u2019ve chosen only the most delicious options.<\/p>\n For the fourth time, our sponsor is Browar Zak\u0142adowy<\/strong><\/a>! In their zone, you\u2019ll find as many as THREE places where you can buy tokens. You go to the cashier, buy as many tokens as you like, and then exchange them for your favourite drink! One token equals one bottle, can, or cup filled with a refreshing beverage. You can pay for tokens by card.<\/p>\n Browar Zak\u0142adowy has long since given up single-use plastic. You\u2019ll receive your drink in colourful Zak\u0142adowy eco-cups<\/strong>. They are reusable, dishwasher-safe, and you can take them to a party or to your allotment garden. The deposit is 10 PLN. If you wish, you can return the cup and get your 10 PLN back. If not, nothing happens \u2013 and you\u2019ll have a nice festival souvenir.<\/p>\n Browar Zak\u0142adowy hasn\u2019t forgotten about those who enjoy alcohol-free beer this time either. You\u2019ll find two flavours of non-alcoholic beer there!<\/p>\n Our festival is also accessible to people with sensory sensitivities. Noise-cancelling earmuffs for both adults and children will be available to rent at the Festival Shop in the People\u2019s Park for a refundable deposit of 100 PLN<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In our festival shop, you can also buy Different Sounds earplugs!<\/p>\n For anyone who would like to take a break from the festival crowds and sensory stimulation, we have prepared a dedicated Zone of Quiet and Relaxation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n You can find information about very loud concerts and possibly triggering visuals in the programme:<\/p>\n July 2 | Thursday<\/strong> July 3 | Friday<\/strong> July 4 | Saturday<\/strong> July 5 | Sunday<\/strong> Every festival day brings a powerful dose of sound that affects not only our ears but our whole bodies. To help restore balance, we invite you to experience a unique sound reset<\/strong> \u2013 a meditative, collective immersion in the sounds of the natural world, while discovering the work of Polish field recording artists. Check the programme HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n We also have five tips on how to take care of your hearing<\/strong>. You can read them HERE<\/strong><\/a>. You can also book your appointment for free hearing tests with Audika<\/strong><\/a> to find out whether you\u2019ll be able to catch all the different sounds we\u2019ll be bringing to the festival!<\/p>\n The East of Culture \u2013 Different Sounds festival is accessible to sensory-sensitive, blind, and visually or hearing-impaired individuals. We encourage you to read the accessibility guide for the festival in PDF format \u2013 the document is available at this link<\/strong><\/a> (in Polish language).<\/p>\n You will find general information about the festival, instructions on how to proceed in case of emergencies, and information about assistance, the medical point, and information points. The document also includes detailed information about the venues where the festival takes place, including descriptions of their architectural accessibility.<\/p>\n I\u2019M COMING TO THE FESTIVAL WITH A CHILD. WHAT SHOULD I KNOW?<\/strong><\/p>\n To ensure the safety of the youngest Different Sounds attendees, a special wristband for children will be available at the festival Information Point in the People\u2019s Park. The wristband includes space to write down a parent\u2019s phone number. It will help reunite children with their guardians in case they lose sight of each other. If needed, please go to the Information Point, where we will be happy to help.<\/p>\n All concerts and exhibitions during the festival are open to all ages, and we have dedicated a selection of workshops specifically for our younger audience. Check out the Little Different Sounds<\/strong><\/a> programme!<\/p>\n Calm, non-aggressive pets are welcome at the festival, but for their comfort, well-being, and safety, we kindly encourage you to leave them at home. The event draws thousands of people, with loud sounds, bright lights, and a flurry of stimuli \u2013 all of which can overwhelm even the most socialized pets. The combination of all these factors creates a highly stressful environment, which can frighten even pets accustomed to such situations. We leave our four-legged friends at home.<\/p>\n The East of Culture \u2013 Different Sounds<\/strong><\/a> festival is a tribute to musicians who choose authenticity over popularity built on artistic compromise. At a time when culture is increasingly becoming a luxury commodity, Different Sounds serves as a reminder that quality should never be a privilege. It is an event for those who believe that music can be a space for encounter, reflection, and a sense of community\u2014not merely consumption. For seekers who understand that the greatest revelations emerge where there are no ready-made answers. In a world where everything seems to have a price, Different Sounds offers something beyond value: a moment when sound becomes a language of communication and the audience becomes a co-creator of the experience.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s line-up features Backengrillen<\/strong>, Therapy?<\/strong>, Sun Ra Arkestra<\/strong>, Dead Bob<\/strong>, Kap Bambino<\/strong>, D\u00e4lek<\/strong>, Tramhaus<\/strong>, Leila Bordreuil & Drew McDowall<\/strong>, Mats Gustafsson & Kimmo Pohjonen<\/strong>, Drank<\/strong>, Furia Plays Cinema<\/strong>, Marcin Masecki & Boleros<\/strong>, YANA<\/strong>, Hinode Tapes<\/strong>, Only Mess & Guests<\/strong>, Grupa Torpedo<\/strong>, AcidSitter<\/strong>, Nina Eba<\/strong>, Heinali & Andriana\u2014Yaroslava Saienko<\/strong>, and The B17<\/strong>. The organisers will also host the renowned Vienna-based record label Trost Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The East of Culture \u2013 Different Sounds festival is not only about music. It is also a meeting place for some of the most compelling voices in contemporary Central and Eastern European literature. These encounters will take place within the Eastern Express<\/strong> series, featuring conversations with authors, translators, and literary professionals, as well as presentations of the latest releases published by Workshops of Culture Publishing House.<\/p>\n The programme will also include exhibitions, talks, music workshops for children, and the return of last year\u2019s audience favourite\u2013the Sound Resets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n As always, admission to all festival events is free of charge, with more announcements coming soon.<\/p>\n More information about the festival can be found at innebrzmienia.eu<\/strong><\/a> and nck.pl\/projekty-kulturalne\/projekty\/wschod-kultury<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n East of Culture \u2013 Different Sounds<\/strong> Organizers:<\/strong> Ministerstwo Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego, Narodowe Centrum Kultury, the City of Lublin, Workshops of Culture in Lublin<\/p>\n Sponsors:<\/strong> Browar Zak\u0142adowy, Strabag, Audika<\/p>\n Partners:<\/strong> Keychange, Teatr Stary w Lublinie, Gardzienice, Bus Bonus, Stowarzyszenie \u201eNigdy Wi\u0119cej\u201d<\/p>\n The event is held under the Honorary Patronage of Krzysztof \u017buk, Mayor of the City of Lublin.<\/strong><\/p>\n Media patronage:<\/strong> Polityka, Tr\u00f3jka \u2013 Program Trzeci Polskiego Radia, Onet, Gazeta Wyborcza, TVP Kultura, TVP ABC, TVP3 Lublin, Polskie Radio Lublin, Kultura Enter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" About The East of Culture \u2013 Different Sounds festival will […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":12840,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[186,101,105,215],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-festival","category-about-festival","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nTIME AND LOCATION<\/h2>\n
