Time has played a trick on us again, and so, in just a moment – on January 10 and 11, 2025 – we will celebrate the 18th birthday of the Festival of Unlimited Creativity Zacieralia! Among the many attractions we are preparing for the anniversary, there will also be musical performances.
With incredible joy, we announce the Invasion of Finnish Disco in the rhythm of Humppa - after years, ELÄKELÄISET and TANSSIORKESTERI LOSSIMIES are returning to Poland especially for Zacieralia! The performances of these two legendary bands are not the end of the attractions waiting for us in January at Progresja.
On both days, the host of the event, ZACIER, will perform. On Saturday in the HEWI METAL version and probably with the participation of amazing special guests!
FRIDAY
On Friday, there will be an abundance of legendary and wonderful bands… The event will be opened - just like 18 years ago - by the non-existent GRUPA PIESEEK. After last year's dissatisfaction left by the performance of the combined forces of this band with the Man of the Phantom, this year we will see both bands separately. THE SYNTETIC will present material from their latest album, as well as old and evergreen hits, and black, black… he is invisible like a torch!
On the first day of the festival, we will also have two spectacular comebacks and two surprising debuts! After years, we will see again the one-man band, playing over 500 concerts a year and releasing around 15 full-length albums during that time. ZENEK KUPATASA is returning to Zacieralia!
The wonderful and uncompromising DR. HACKENBUSH is also returning to the Progresja stage.
From a completely different world, though not distant in terms of unlimited criteria, RAT KRU will arrive to present their work at Zacieralia for the first time in history.
On Friday, January 10, we will also hear another figure who has made significant contributions to the Festival, and that is Olaf Deriglasoff - this time with the reactivated, legendary lineup from the early days of his artistic career. Once the Children of Captain Kloss, now as DZIADY KAPITANA KLOSSA, they will take us on a sentimental journey to Sopot Beach and beyond…
The Friday performances will conclude with special guests - ELÄKELÄISET, the “retirees” from Finland, who will present their unique show in the rhythm of Humppa!
SATURDAY
On Saturday, the concerts will begin with OYATE. The band, originating from the legendary Plebani, although playing new and unique material, will come to us all the way from Hel! It probably can't get any better, so it's worth being at the club on Saturday on time. From the other side of Poland, the well-known and beloved CHAŁTCORE will return for the second time!
On this day, there will be two festival debutants. Besides Lossimies, someone significant will be Zacieraliowo deflowered… namely, the HURT band will come from Wrocław, along with Bolek, Lolek, Tytus, Romek, and A'Tomek… and more.
TPN 25, which played the best and most effective concert of its career last year, according to the plan will not perform this year, as they do not want to spoil the impression after the last performance… although we will do everything to ensure that the traditional convulsions, in some form, take place. For sure, the wonderful Collective ZTVÖRKI EL DUPA will perform, a classic so established that we really don't need to write anything more.
Unfortunately, once again, the disgrace of Podbeskidzie, the band LEJ MI PÓŁ, will play, but we promise that if the current drummer, Rusek, does not repeat the form of his predecessor, Bzyk, from a few years ago, we will never invite them again!
ZACIER HEWI METAL will present the stronger, darker side of Zacier…
To conclude - Finnish disco, namely TANSSIORKESTERI LOSSIMIES. This band, known to a multitude of fans, among others, from the soundtrack to the legendary production by Bartek Walaszek “Sarnie Żniwo, czyli pokusa statuetkowego szlaku,” will grandly finish the celebration of the 18th birthday of Zacieralia… finish? No! After the performance of Lossimies, we will smoothly transition into the necessary, improvised concert of all the remaining living ones, under the banner of PŁONĄCA PYTA NERONA. Only when President Marek performs the traditional jump from the stage will we officially conclude the celebration and simply go together into the city…
There will be a few more surprise attractions, some of which we will announce soon.
This will be the 18th time we meet at Progresja for the Festival of Unlimited Creativity ZACIERALIA.
Take your headgear and be with us!
