A festival entirely dedicated to Polish culture: that is Witaj Eindhoven! On Saturday, October 31, the third edition of the festival will take place at Muziekgebouw Eindhoven. In addition to performances by Polish artists — with the Polish rock band T. Love as the headliner — visitors will be able to immerse themselves in Polish culture throughout the day.

T.Love

Headliner Witaj Eindhoven

T.Love is an iconic Polish rock band from Częstochowa, founded in 1982. In their early years, the group was heavily influenced by punk rock, but over time their sound evolved into a dynamic mix of rock ’n’ roll, reggae, glam rock and pop rock. Led by frontman Muniek Staszczyk, T.Love grew into one of Poland’s most influential and beloved bands, renowned for their energetic live performances and socially critical lyrics. Songs such as Warszawa and King helped establish the band as a cornerstone of the Polish music scene.

ZAGI

Zagi is a composer and songwriter, awarded with three ZPAV Gold Records. She not only writes music for herself but also for other artists. With her expressive stage presence, she has become a distinctive figure on the Polish music scene. Her emotional vocals, catchy melodies, and the powerful energy of her band come together in a captivating blend of indie, pop, and alternative rock.

Polski Gniazdo

Polskie Gniazdo Band is a dynamic group consisting of 5 singers, born out of a love for music and the desire to share it with the Polish community in the Netherlands. The band was founded in 2023, with members from different parts of the Netherlands gathering with a common goal – bringing joy to the audience through interpretations of the greatest Polish hits. Since then, they have been working tirelessly to refine their repertoire to provide the Polish community with unforgettable musical experiences.

Fashion show Violetta Riedel

Violetta Riedel is a designer and photographer. Alongside her social commitment, she has been creating unique wearable artworks for years from post-production materials, discarded clothing, and materials that were originally never intended to be worn. With her designs, she gives these materials a second life and demonstrates how sustainability, craftsmanship, and art can reinforce each other. Crocheted tablecloths, embroidered fabrics, and other traditional textile forms are transformed in her hands into contemporary wearable works of art. In this way, memories, family history, and craftsmanship take on new meaning on the catwalk. With her latest collection, Echa Polski, ‘Echoes of Poland’, Violetta takes the audience on a journey through Polish culture.
