      Żagle 2025. Musical anniversary of Piotr Banach on the sailing stage

      Uncovering the musical highlights of this year's Żagle. On Friday, August 15th, one of the most influential figures of the Szczecin music scene will celebrate the anniversary of his musical career on the main stage – be sure to attend the concert “Piotr Banach and Friends”.

      There will be a powerful Szczecin accent at the opening of the music concerts during Żagle event.

      “On Friday, August 15th, Piotr Banach, composer, guitarist, songwriter and producer, best known for his performances with bands such as Hey and Indios Bravos, will celebrate his double anniversary: his 60th birthday and 45 years on stage. Banach is first and foremost an artist exploring new horizons,” says Celina Wołosz, spokesperson for Żegluga Szczecińska Turystyka Wydarzenia. “Throughout his 45 years of performing, he has consistently followed his own path, avoiding genre labelling and constantly pushing the boundaries of his artistry.”

      He made his debut in the late 1970s, but gained nationwide recognition through his work with the band Hey, which he co-founded and was the first guitarist. The band's debut album, Fire (1993), which transformed the face of Polish rock in the 1990s, was shaped by Banach's distinctive sound.

      After leaving Hey, he continued his musical journey as the leader of Indios Bravos, a unique combination of reggae, rock and electronic music. Throughout the years, he has also been an active producer, recording engineer and mentor to emerging artists. His solo work reveals him to be a sensitive performer, willing to experiment with new forms of expression.

      The year 2025 marks a special milestone for Banach – his 60th birthday and 45th anniversary of his stage career. In celebration and commemoration of this occasion, he has prepared a series of jubilee concerts, during which he will reflect on his entire musical career. Accompanied by invited guests – artists from different generations with whom he shared the stage or whom he inspired – he will create a unique story through sound. Invited musicians included Kafi Ficaj, a singer and long-time companion on his stage career.

      Banach is an artist who not only plays music – he truly experiences it. His concerts are not just retrospectives, but above all a living experience of encounter – with the audience, emotions and history, which he continues to rewrite.

      The Żagle 2025 event will take place between August 15th and 17th. The concert “Piotr Banach and Friends” is scheduled for Friday on the main stage, which will be located on Jana z Kolna Street.
