Summer Contrast Festival

Summer Contrast is a week-long electronic music and arts festival on a meadow above the Rega River at Rogalinko, a hamlet near Świdwin in north-western Poland.

It is run by an association on what the organisers call family land. Two scenes that rarely share a bill meet here: full-power psytrance acts play alongside Berlin-style techno, melodic house and slower chill-out sets. Off the dancefloors there are three workshop areas, performances, hammock-filled rest zones, a food court and large carved wooden animals dotted around the field. Camping is included. The site has showers with hot water and flushing toilets. Children and dogs are allowed, and people can come and go freely with their wristband.

A week-long, co-created gathering where trance and techno crowds share one riverside meadow.
