The organizers of the upcoming edition of Metal Mine will open up to new music genres. The event area is, of course, the unique and amazing space of the Old Mine in Wałbrzych. Who was there knows that the place is amazing. The Old Mine Science and Art Center in Wałbrzych is the largest post-industrial tourist attraction in Poland, located on the site of a former mine. The revitalization carried out in 2014 allowed for the creation of a unique facility. On the area of 4.5 hectares, there are many historic post-industrial buildings with authentic furnishings, e.g. secured and a machine park available to visitors. Between the mine machines, there will be a zone with food trucks and cold beer, stands with contractors’ merch, and a campsite. Participants will also have the opportunity to contact with musicians in a special Meet & Greet zone.
