New Year Celebrations at Spodek, Katowice 2015

The 2015 New Year's Eve celebrations centred around Spodek in Katowice with a marathon six hour concert broadcast live on Polsat around Poland and beyond. It formed a fitting end to the year long celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the city.

Starting in early December a massive stage was built to cater for 60,000 people to watch the free concert around Spodek and Rondo.

And on the night!
