Unsound Festival 2017
Unsound Festival in Krakow 8-15 October 2017
This year’s edition marks 15th anniversary of Unsound Festival in Krakow with the theme Flower Power. By choosing such leitmotif the organisers want to send a message that facing the current events shaking the political and social scenes, it is unwise to fall into despair. The idea is to collide the concepts of darkness and decay with light and growth. Flower Power also relates to the 50th anniversary of the so-called Summer of Love of 1967.
Unsound Festival 2017 will take place between 8th and 15th October. The exact programme is yet to be published.
