Daria ze Śląska concerts: where she's headed in autumn 2026 and what to expect

You might not recognise the name Daria Ryczek-Zając, but that husky, melancholic voice from "Pamięć do złych słów" recorded with Kortez is one you've definitely heard - the song reached over a million views on YouTube. That's her. And here's a quick fact that makes everything else easier to understand: before three Fryderyki ended up on her shelf, she took out a loan to buy a computer because recording on a dictaphone wasn't working out, and she taught herself production from online tutorials. That's why this guide exists. If you're looking for information on Daria ze Śląska concerts, below you'll find confirmed dates from our database, context on her career and a few practical things worth knowing before you click "buy ticket".

Daria ze Śląska concerts 2026: confirmed dates

In September 2026 you can catch Daria ze Śląska on a festival stage in Przytkowice (12 September) and at her own concert in Siemianowice Śląskie (20 September). These are the first confirmed points in our calendar.

The nearest festival appearance is an evening at Strefa 57 in Przytkowice scheduled for 12 September 2026. Daria shares the bill there with Krzysztof Zalewski, Natalia Przybysz and Rogucki i Normalni Ludzie. It's a good first encounter with her music if you'd rather drop in on a bigger event and catch several artists in one evening.

Eight days later, on 20 September 2026, she plays on home turf. The concert at Siemianowickie Centrum Kultury is part of the "Halo, co jest grane?" series - named after her latest album. Silesia is no marketing gimmick for Daria: in an interview she admitted that Silesia "defines her in a certain sense", which is also where her stage name comes from. A concert close to Katowice carries personal weight for her.

If you're planning a trip to a specific show, keep checking the current dates in our events calendar and in the concerts section - tours often expand to include more cities, and we add them as they're announced.

From a loan for a computer to three Fryderyki

Daria ze Śląska is Daria Ryczek-Zając from Katowice's Giszowiec district, a former IT worker and now a three-time Fryderyk winner. Her story is a slow build-up, not an overnight explosion.

She comes from Katowice's Giszowiec district and belongs to the first generation of Silesians in her family - her father came to Silesia for work at a mine. Before music became a profession, she had a fairly ordinary life: she completed a bachelor's degree in history at the University of Silesia and a dental studies programme, and earned her living as an IT administrator at tech companies. That distance from the music industry comes through in her lyrics later on.

The stage name itself was an accident, not a strategy. The nickname came about prosaically, because that's how her manager, Paweł Jóźwicki, had her saved in his phone. Before that, between 2015 and 2022, she co-created the trip-hop and electronic duo The Party is Over, with whom she took part in the 10th edition of the programme Must Be the Music. She only seriously embarked on a solo path at the end of 2022.

The rest happened quickly. In 2022 she released three singles on Jazzboy Records, and her debut "Falstart albo faul" received a gold record from ZPAV. The following year came the album "Tu była", along with awards: the record reached 15th place on the Official Sales Chart, received a Fryderyk for indie pop album of the year, and the artist herself collected the statuette for phonographic debut of the year. A third Fryderyk followed shortly after: the beginning of 2025 brought her another award in the alternative pop album of the year category.

What you'll hear live: three albums, one micro-world

The setlist draws from three albums - "Tu była", "Na południu bez zmian" and the new "Halo, co jest grane?". Expect melancholic, personal pop with a touch of electronics and a rap-influenced feel.

The newest material she's playing on tour comes from an album released quite recently - four singles preceded the release of "Halo, co jest grane?", which came out on 15 May 2026. The previous record performed even better commercially than the debut: the album "Na południu bez zmian" reached 6th place on the OLiS chart, and the single recorded with Kortez from that period also went gold.

The character of the concert is shaped by the sound of these records. Daria's songs stand out for their melancholic, sorrow-filled mood and introspective quality, and the artist herself draws inspiration from Polish rap - Sokół, Łona and Pezet. You can hear it: lyrical, deeply personal lyrics meet electronics and a hip-hop sensibility. Critics describe her music as a blend of melancholic alternative pop with direct, poetic lyrics in which she describes reality with a sense of detachment.

Don't expect fireworks and choreography on stage. Accounts of her shows paint a picture of a minimalist: her at the front, the band behind her, little movement - and that's enough to draw the listener into her inner world. If you like concerts where the voice and the lyrics matter more than the spectacle, you're in the right place. From the recorded repertoire, songs that appear live include "Falstart albo faul", "Kill Bill", "Gambino", "Chinatown" and the duet "Pamięć do złych słów".

Festival warm-up: where she's already been seen

Daria has gone from supporting Kortez to playing major Polish festivals. She has considerable stage experience and you can hear the confidence with which she leads a show.

The turning point came in the summer of 2022. She took part in Kortez's summer "Holiday Tour", played at Męskie Granie and the Great September festival. That opened the door to bigger stages and a wider audience that had previously known mainly her voice from other people's records.

After that, it only grew. The strong reception of the second album led to appearances at Open'er, Nowa Muzyka and Męskie Granie festivals, after which she set off on an autumn tour of more than 20 cities across the country. Playing at Tauron Nowa Muzyka in her home city of Katowice had a special dimension for her - she said it was a festival she had always dreamed of playing, because she had previously made electronic music.

If you'd rather catch her in a festival setting than at a standalone concert, keep an eye on our festivals section. Summer line-ups in Poland regularly feature artists in her bracket, and one ticket then gives you much more than one performance.

Tickets and logistics: what to watch out for

Tickets for Daria ze Śląska concerts are sold through the official channels of the organisers. Buy from the source, check the city and the nature of the event, and steer clear of resale sites with inflated prices.

First, the nature of the event. The evening at Strefa 57 in Przytkowice is a festival format with several names on the bill - plan your time for the whole day, not just a one-hour set. The concert in Siemianowice Śląskie at Siemianowickie Centrum Kultury, on the other hand, is a classic hall show where the entire evening belongs to Daria and her band.

Second, the source of tickets. Only buy through the channels linked to a given event in our database or through the official websites of the organiser and venue. Halls such as cultural centres usually have limited capacity, so popular names can simply sell out - it's worth not leaving it too late.

Third, context. Daria isn't slowing down - in 2026 her third solo album was released, and concerts from the beginning of the year were a chance to hear some of the material even before the official release. That means the tour is alive, and more cities may be added. If there's nothing in your region yet, head to the artists section and keep an eye on the calendar - we add dates as soon as they're confirmed.

Yes. On 20 September 2026 she will perform at Siemianowickie Centrum Kultury in Siemianowice Śląskie, right next to her home city of Katowice. For an artist who admits that Silesia defines her, it's a show with personal significance.

Three solo records. Her 2023 debut brought her two Fryderyki, the second album from 2024 brought a third, and in May 2026 the latest record "Halo, co jest grane?" was released, which she is now presenting on tour.
