The voice of Portishead bids farewell to Lives Outgrown: Beth Gibbons will play her only concert in Poland
The singer performs in Katowice on 17 July 2027. She calls these shows a farewell, and outside Portishead concerts she has played in Poland only once.

Beth Gibbons, the singer of Portishead, will perform at the International Congress Centre in Katowice on 17 July 2027. It is her only concert in Poland as part of the final shows for her solo album Lives Outgrown.
The organisers, the Fundacja Nowa Muzyka Katowice foundation, announced it on the concert page on Biletomat.
The concert starts at 20:00. The European leg of the tour has just over a dozen shows, and Katowice is its only stop in Poland. As of 4 November, online sales on the Biletomat page were closed: visitors can sign up for a notification when tickets appear.
“Farewell concerts”
“These will be the farewell concerts of Lives Outgrown... It has been wonderful playing with such incredible musicians and friends, and having such a great band around me! Thank you to everyone who has supported these concerts so far,” says Beth Gibbons. Before Europe she announced a short tour of South America, and in 2026, according to muno.pl, she did not play a single show.
It will be her first visit to Poland with her own project: outside Portishead concerts, the singer has performed there only once. The band itself last played in the country 12 years ago, one of just three Portishead concerts in Poland.
A band that never announced an end
Portishead’s last album, Third, came out 18 years ago. The band has not been regularly active since 2015, but has never announced the end of its career. Beth Gibbons, Geoff Barrow and Adrian Utley last played together live in 2022, and in 2025 they recorded Roads for a charity concert in London without appearing on stage in person.
Her solo debut Lives Outgrown came out in 2024. In muno.pl’s view, the Katowice concert is among the most important announcements of next year in Poland, and another chance to hear the singer in the country may not come for a long time.
Last week we also reported on another big Polish date: Tiësto and Boris Brejcha will play a stadium in Warsaw.
