October 11 - Songbook
The first concert of the festival is a project entitled "Songbook," which will present unforgettable Polish pop songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s. The artists will reach for classics such as "Wspomnienie" and "Płonąca stodoła" from the repertoire of Czesław Niemen, "Byłaś serca biciem" by Andrzej Zaucha, or "Kiedy byłem mały chłopcem" by Tadeusz Nalepa. The band consists of Jacek Kotlarski (vocals), Zbigniew Wrombel (double bass, bass guitar, arrangements), Piotr Wrombel (piano, keyboards, arrangements) and Krzysztof Szmańda (drums). "Śpiewnik" offers modern, jazz arrangements of well-known Polish hits that delight audiences both in Poland and abroad.

October 12 - Big Bike Orchestra
The second day of the festival will feature the Big Bike Orchestra, a Polish pop-folk band known for combining music with riding a six-person bicycle. The band was formed in 2021 in Bydgoszcz, Poland, and gained popularity through the semifinals of the 13th edition of the "I've Got Talent" program. Since then, Big Bike Orchestra has played more than 200 concerts in 12 countries, traveling more than 100,000 kilometers. In 2023, the band went on a "Eurotrip on Big Bike" tour, playing concerts in such places as the Eiffel Tower, the Brandenburg Gate and the Atomium. Their concert at Koszalin BassFest promises to be an energetic, positive event that is sure to be memorable for the audience.

October 19 - FiśBanda
The final concert of the festival will be played by FiśBanda, a band that, since 2018, has been introducing modern jazz arrangements of traditional highland, Carpathian and Balkan melodies. The project, "Posłuchejcie Kamaradzi," is a synthesis of years of collective musical exploration, which resounds in their debut album. FiśBanda is famous for its lively, temperamental performances, which blend harmoniously with lyrical notes. The band's music is a combination of tradition and modernity, which makes their concert a unique experience.
