About us

For 16 years Audioriver has been held in the magnificent riverside town of Płock, which during the event is almost entirely vibrant with festival life, and throughout the year attracts tourists with its charming old town and beautiful nature surroundings.

The main part of Audioriver, which includes Friday and Saturday night, takes place on a beautiful beach on the Vistula River, above which rises the Tumskie Hill and a scarp popular among residents and tourists, which is also besieged during Audioriver concerts on the Main Stage. In this place as many as 8 stages and zones with concerts of foreign and Polish artists function at the same time.

The Audioriver activity center on Friday and Saturday is the Old Market Square, located very close to the beach. It is the venue of the Audioriver Music Fair and its accompanying free concerts, which attract thousands of festival attendees every year.

Since 2014, the festival has culminated in Sun/Day, the third day of Audioriver, which, apart from the first edition, takes place in a beautiful park between Mostowa Street and Rybaki Street. On Sunday afternoon it becomes a paradise garden full of colors, decorations and warm sounds of dance music.
