Live 4K filmed set by Burning Spear, a foundational roots reggae figure, at the 31st Pol’and’Rock Festival, on the former Czaplinek-Broczyno airfield in Poland, on August 1, 2025. Led by Winston Rodney, the band delivers a nearly 70-minute performance rooted in Rastafari tradition and the legacy of Marcus Garvey. The program strings together classics such as “Door Peeper,” “Jamaica,” “Nyah Keith,” “Call on You,” “The Youths,” “Old Marcus,” “Man in the Hills,” “African Postman” and “Spear Flow,” closing on “Jurek,” a nod to festival founder Jerzy Owsiak. Hypnotic grooves, militant horns and Pan-Africanist messages drive a set before the vast crowd of Europe’s largest free festival. Captured and published by KręciołaTV, the recording conveys the full intensity of this concert. A Jamaican artist from Saint Ann, the same parish as Marcus Garvey, Winston Rodney has carried the Burning Spear name since the early 1970s, and this late-night set on the festival’s main stage confirms the enduring power of his catalog before tens of thousands of spectators. The Pol’and’Rock Festival, organized by Jerzy Owsiak’s Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity foundation, is known as Europe’s largest open-air free-admission event, giving this roots reggae performance a rare scale. Keywords: Burning Spear, Pol’and’Rock, Poland, 2025, live, roots reggae, full concert, 4K.
