Last update, 17:25 : Crowds of people take strips at the point near the station of Gdynia. This year, there are two waiting lines for the groups – a lot of people, but everything is going well. From the station at the end of the road, a good hour passes. The atmosphere is cheerful, no one is nervous, the bus is already in the bus.

Unfortunately, it would be useful to have air conditioning. The open windows are not able, especially on such a hot day, to provide air passengers.

Music

Although Open has become a place, where it's fashionable to just show, it's still music for most people. There will be a hundred artists on five stages. Among them, the headliners are certainly the most important. The long awaited return Arctic Monkeys the first day. Later, on Thursday, Depeche Mode on Friday Gorillaz with the new album and finally the big show Bruno Mars . Meanwhile Noel Gallagher Nick Cave Dead Cross David Byrne or Massive Attack .

You can not complain about the number of important and important names in this year's edition. Both of the world and Poland. Among the indigenous artists we will see, amongst others Dawid Podsiadło Korteza L.Stadt the team of Gdansk Trupa Trupa or a duo that was the cause of collective hysteria in recent months, Taconafide .

Replacement of tickets for armbands

Due to the great interest of the festival, it was decided to improve the exchange of tickets and passes for armbands. The organizers, taught by previous years' experience and dreadful scenes at the points of exchange, said that it is worthwhile to start doing it sooner. Thus, already on Monday, the first festival-goers could go to points at the central station of Gdynia (9-22) and at the Musical Theater in pl. Grunwaldzki (4-5.07 to 10-22 and 6-7.07 to 10-20)

Note: The exchange of tickets is done only for the 4 days of festival their validity, ie Wednesday, we will not receive a group for example friday. The principle raises doubts among Internet users – since special points with tapes have already been opened, why can not you replace them for any day, no matter when we came?
Moreover, as every year festival area (at the main entrance, the main stage Orange) and camping (Kosakowo)

Important: most people exchange the ticket of band on the first day of the festival, so we encourage you to come to the area before the concert chosen

Turnout

The organizers already know that the edition of Open 's this year will gather a record audience . It is not known if the record of one day, which was created a few years ago at the Coldplay concert, will be broken, but there are many indications. Season tickets are still sold, but day tickets for Thursdays, Saturdays and weekends are out of print. So you can expect the Depeche Mode and Bruno Mars concerts to be a sea of ​​people. However, not surprising – two great musical shows are waiting for us

It is already a tradition that the special buses marked with OF will go from the main station of Gdynia to the event zone . And it's the best option to reach the Open Door. In addition, SKM has introduced a special festival card (priced at 40 PLN), which will be valid from 3 to 8 July. The ticket can only be purchased via the SKM website
