Techno vikings, Ozzy tributes and post-apocalyptic landscapes: Mystic Festival's final year at Gdansk Shipyard is another triumph

Eihwar Mystic Festival 2026.

Since 2022, Mystic Festival has been housed in the confines of Gdansk Shipyard, the assortment of warehouses, train tracks and gigantic cranes lending the festival a post-Apocalyptic feel. But next year Poland's biggest metal festival is set to get even bigger, relocating to Polsat Plus Arena in Gdansk to increase capacity, making 2026 the fifth and final time we'll grace the coolest festival site we've ever seen.

There's no time for comisserating, however. Spread across four days, this year's Mystic lineup is a typically diverse affair with everything from death metal to thrash, sludge, prog and beyond.
