Mini version of Jarocin festival returns after violence leads to six year hiatus

The rock festival in Jarocin will be organized for the next five years. The one which will take place this year will be an introduction before the full-size three day event is restored. "Last year's Przystanek Woodstock which was attended by a quarter million rock fans shows Poland has a huge number of rock public," says the executive producer of the Jarocin festival Przemek Jankowski. The last Jarocin festival took place in 1994 and was a great success. It was closed due to a fight between teens and police officers. (Gazeta Wyborcza, page 15) A.Z.
