Björk to headline Heineken Open'er Festival 2012

Björk is the first artist announced to headline Heineken Open'er 2012! The festival will take place on July 4-7, 2012.

Mikolaj Ziolkowski/ from Alter Art said "We start a new decade of Open'er Festival. We start it just as we dreamed it – with a performance from an artist that is exquisite, unique and only one of a kind. An artist that uncloses and transgresses, searches and inspires. An artist that is charismatic and daring. The artist whose performances on global 2012 festival scene we are pleased and honoured to be the first to announce. An artist, a revolutionnaire – Björk to headline Open'er 2012!"

She belongs to this unusual and closely knit group for whom everything is allowed, and they always go to the limit. Thanks to her charisma and creativity, she always sets new directions going against the mainstream. She has expressed this many times, collaborating with the most original or exotic musical projects. Last month saw the new release from Björk. Calling it a record will not mean a thing. "Biophilia" is a real multi-media project, comprising songs, remixes, applications, musical instruments, videos, an exhibition, and even musical workshops prepared by Björk in selected cities throughout the world. All this to be a step ahead the whole alternative and pop scene once again. One of the most important parts of this project are unique concerts with extraordinary staging and a large choir. We are honoured by Björk's intention to present her new compositions, as well as her writings that the audience is already familiar with, the more so Open'er is the first of next year's festivals to have confirmed Björk's participation.

Along with the first headliner, we can also confirm the dates of next year's festival. Heineken Open'er 2012 will take place on July 4, 5, 6 and 7 in Gdynia Kosakowo.
