The Danish part of Idealistic Festival will take place in Copenhagen on 22.10 at Stairway and 30.10 at Mayhem.
Apart from noise-rockers BYEBYE Tsunami [IT/DK/LV] from Copenhagen, Maja Laura [PL] will be there to present her debut solo album.
We will also hear contemporary composers of visionary electronic music from Poland: Aleksandra Słyż [PL], Galuschka [PL] and Julek Ploski [PL].
The line-up is completed with the experimental pop project Vera3 [DK], Anne Efternøler [DK] in an abstract solo trumpet concert and the punk-jazz quintet RASP Lovers [PL].

About Idealistic Festival:
The festival was founded in 2019 on the initiative of two musicians: Kamil Piotrowicz (Kamil Piotrowicz Sextet, Wojtczak/Piotrowicz, LAWAAI, Howard Records) and Szymon Gąsiorek (Pimpono Ensemble, E/I, Czajka & Puchacz, Love & Beauty Music).
During their studies at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen, they observed a number of grassroots initiatives in their environment, which tried to promote uncompromising original music.
These efforts often seemed lonely and their reach was rather limited, prompting Piotrowicz and Gąsiorek to create a platform that would unite them and strengthen the alternative, independent music scene. The aim of this international exchange is to broaden the impact of valuable, innovative music in the existing art environment of both countries.
The festival’s core are concerts by Danish and local bands in Poland and the other way round – a showcase of Polish artists in Copenhagen backed with local projects from Denmark.
As a result, Polish listeners can experience art created in Denmark and vice versa, in a process of mutual inspiration with the differences resulting from the cultural and geographic distance between Scandinavia and Central and Eastern Europe.
