On February 3, 2023, for the first time in Krapkowice, Tomasz Lipa Lipnicki will perform an acoustic concert and meet you live! Only at Zamkowy Młyn!
This will be a very individual meeting, where we'll learn a lot about Tomasz and his new book, and there will be an opportunity to ask questions live and listen to his acoustic concert! A treat for fans and not only fans! With just over 100 seats available, this will be a truly intimate encounter with a great artist.
Tomasz Lipa Lipnicki - briefly about the artist
He says music is in his blood. He first picked up a guitar at the age of 12. At the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, he was associated with She. In 1992, he founded the now legendary group Illusion, known for songs such as "Nóż" and "Wojtek."
Eight years later, he launched his solo project, Lipali, which eventually evolved into a band. A three-time Fryderyk Award winner, he has released 19 albums, 15 of which are studio albums.

About the book "Hedgehog" by Tomasz Lipa Lipnicki
The book "Jeżozwierz" is an extended interview with Tomasz "Lipa" Lipnicki, a journey from childhood, through the making of the legendary Illusion, the turbulent 1990s, and on to the present. A candid conversation about life, its ups and downs, friendships, relationships, and money.
We quote:
Tomek doesn't like to be placed on a pedestal, he doesn't like to be called a legend or an icon of Polish rock. For an entire generation, his work became the soundtrack of their youth, part of the soundtrack of the freedom changes of the 1990s. Alongside Kult and Kazik, it was Illusion that won legions of fans, not only with great music but also with a specific and important message. The 1990s brought an explosion of excellent Polish music, which people awaited as if it were the most important thing in the world. As Kuba Wojewódzki said, "Music has become a product, where it used to be an emotion!" Tomek remains an emotion, just like his work.
This isn't a story about an inaccessible rock star living behind a golden barrier, but about one of us—a music lover, a man fighting for his dreams; one of us—Poles, with all the baggage that history and life have thrown at us. There's no embellishment here, no glorification, and no preying on the privacy of others. Just as Lipa's work is sometimes harsh and raw, so too is the history recorded here. If you want to better know and understand one of Poland's most distinctive and rebellious artists, and one of rock's finest vocalists, here's Tomasz "Lipa" Lipnicki, not as you'd like him to be, but as he is.
