HEINEKEN OPEN'ER FESTIVAL

Heineken Open'er Festival is a huge event at the polish seaside in Gdynia (Baltic Sea) which attracts thousands of people every year for three days. This year it was on 4-6th of july.

The weather conditions were suitable, it wasn't raining. There were many different bands and artists performing, i.a. Jay-z, Roisin Murphy, Gentleman, Devotchka (amazing !), Erykah Badu (huge dissapointment), Massive Attack and the Chemical Brothers (what a sound !). 

Below pictures from our stay in gdynia (we spent there 5 days, from 3rd to 7th), sorry for random order of pics but there's no time now for organizing it (sorry, over 3 am and I'm flying to Dublin tomorrow... sic!). 

First breakfast - Mariona had grilled sausage with the brand logo impressed on it !


Gdynia - pier
Maria on the pier

Roisin Murphy - she was great ! Original and avant-garde !


Devotchka - they played my favourite "How it ends", they were superb !


Main Stage

Fed up with Heineken for another year I guess... definitely not the best bear in the world ;)


The cook preparing polish soup - he looked like a sailor on his ship :)


Quite odd - swans in the sea


Erykah Badu (performing with laptop,  with track suit  and trainers on her... )


Jay - z : one of the main attractions of the festival (at least for me), he knew how to make us move ! Great guy
We took a short trip to Sopot - favourite resort for posh  people,  nothing like relaxing place. We say no to Sopot !

During chemical brothers (not 100 % sure, but 90% ;) )



Beat Stage

Chemical Brothers - great sound, making the chest vibrate ! The visualisation wasn't less energetic ! :)

Me - at the beginning ....

... and - Yeah... well, in the end the  military airport looked quite differently XD


Our room (despite noisy neighbours it was really good place to stay)


the pier

Stands with food and beverages - everything was paid with coupons.


In the end - the best view of the festival - dozens of moblie toilets (called Toi Toi), stood in many rows :D
