Kazik, I Was Just Joking
Concert by Polish singer Kazik, known for his satirical and politically charged songs.
Kazik Staszewski (born 12 March 1963 in Warsaw) is a Polish singer, lyricist and saxophonist, best known as the frontman and co-founder of Kult, one of Poland's most enduring rock bands since 1982. His music spans punk rock, reggae, folk and politically charged poetry, and his solo debut 'Spalam się' (1991) is considered one of the first Polish rap albums. Over four decades he has built a reputation for uncompromising social commentary, releasing work both with Kult and under his own name.
Kult announced a reduced 'Pomarańczowa Trasa' 2026 limited to 11 concerts, with no further dates to be added, as the band scales back its schedule due to Kazik's ongoing recovery.
Kult returned to the stage on 22 May 2026 in Bydgoszcz under the tour title 'Wracamy do życia', marking Kazik's first performance after nearly six months off.
In early December 2025 Kazik was hospitalised in intensive care in Tenerife with suspected sepsis; Kult subsequently cancelled all concerts scheduled through April 2026.
Kazik performed solo at Cieszanów Rock Festiwal 2025 (14-16 August), returning to the festival a year after appearing there with Kult.
Kazik opened 2025 with a run of club concerts across Poland, performing both solo and with Kwartet ProForma, ahead of the planned Kult Akustik 2025 tour.
