Metal on Metal: How Mystic Festival has grown to become one of Europe’s most essential events for metal fans

Situated in one of the most unique settings of any European festival, Gdansk, Poland’s Mystic Festival is rapidly becoming one of the most essential dates in the summer festival calendar for any fan of heavy music.

Even before we explore the many musical delights of the event, the setting and surroundings of Mystic are enough to pique your interest. Rather than a faceless airstrip or a barren field, you can experience Mystic’s many musical delights in the rare and unusual environment of the Gdansk Shipyard, it gives the festival a feel and look all of its own, as you navigate the huge, steely frames and iron-clad habitat whilst some of the best bands in heavy music rattle the very foundations of the site.
