MAYDAY Poland (Katowice, Poland) 2026

MAYDAY Poland is the country’s longest running indoor techno rave, and its 27th edition takes place on Tuesday 10 November 2026 at the Spodek arena in Katowice. The organisers promise one night, 16 hours of music and 20 artists, with doors at 16:30 and the first set at 17:00.

What is MAYDAY Poland?

MAYDAY Poland has been held since 2000 and describes itself as the first real rave in a big hall in Poland. It is the sister event of the German MAYDAY in Dortmund and shares its motto, Forward Ever, Backward Never. For 26 years the Spodek, the flying saucer shaped arena in the centre of Katowice, has been its home, and the date rarely moves: the night before Poland’s Independence Day on 11 November, which is why a Tuesday rave can run until the next morning.

Recent editions carried the themes PROGRESS (2025), 25 YEARS UNITED (2024) and MOMENTUM (2023). The mix is the same one that made the brand: techno headliners next to harder and faster rave styles, heavy bass, lasers and a purpose built stage set. For anyone planning an autumn music festival trip in Central Europe, it is one of the few arena scale techno nights in November.

Who is playing MAYDAY Poland 2026?

How do tickets and entry work?

E-tickets cost 349 PLN in the official MAYDAY shop, with souvenir and VIP tickets also on sale. The box office at the venue opens at 15:00 on the day with only 200 to 300 tickets, priced from 379 PLN, so the organisers advise buying in advance. Guests aged 16 to 18 need an ID and written consent from a parent or legal guardian, and there is no re-entry once you leave the hall.
