About us

Audioriver is one of the largest and most important electronic music festivals in the Central and Eastern Europe region. Over nearly two decades of activity, it has created a unique community of electronic music enthusiasts in various genres, ranging from house and techno to drum & bass. It is one of the few opportunities each year to see not only outstanding DJs but also concerts and multimedia performances in one place.

For 17 years, the festival took place in the impressive riverside city of Płock, which during the event pulsated with festival life, attracting tourists throughout the year with its charming Old Town and beautiful natural surroundings.

This year, Audioriver is moving to Łódź. The festival will take place from July 12th to 14th in the Park na Zdrowiu
