Nick Cave, Calvin Harris, and The xx announced as headliners for Open’er Festival 2026

Open’er Festival have announced three huge headliners taking to the Baltic coast next summer. Iconic group Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, dance music powerhouse Calvin Harris, and newly-reunited cult British trio The xx will join already announced heavy hitter The Cure in Gdynia, northern Poland.

Alongside the three massive headliner names, new additions to the lineup include Talking Heads frontman David Byrne, viral R&B star Teddy Swims, and Southern Gothic alternative favourite Ethel Cain, making for one of the festival’s most diverse lineups yet. 

Taking place from 1st - 4th July 2026, Open’er Festival has been a staple in Europe since its Warsaw-set debut in 2002, and attracts over 100,000 music lovers from all over the globe each year. In 2006 it relocated to the grounds of a former military airport in Gdynia where it’s stayed to this day, and has remained a one-of-a-kind festival better seen than believed.
