Warszawa's Island

The Free Form Festival in Warsaw is probably the best atmosphere ever seen in a music festival by the author of this blog. Bands playing and afterwards joining the crowd. An amazing crowd. No judgements. Extraordinary venue (Fabryka Trzcyni - a dismissed brown sugar factory in the outskirts of Praga - the popular and used-to-be-poorest-now-getting-arty district of Warsaw). Excellent choice of bands (considered the small budget), timing of their exhibitions and mix of sounds. Plus, I have been to a few concerts in Warsaw now and have to say that the public in this city is the warmest. And the bands also feel it and play more confidently. Like the Swedish ensamble Koops - after an hesitant start - did yesterday; turning Warsaw into a fantastic Koop's Island.
