The calf that outlasted the joke: Łydka Grubasa unplug for the winter
A side project started in 2002 by an Olsztyn thrash band has become one of Poland's busiest satirical rock acts; after the 2025 album Bekalog, the group is about to attempt something it has never tried — a full acoustic tour, with 21 dates on sale between October and mid-December 2026.
A joke that refused to end
Łydka Grubasa formed in Olsztyn in 2002, not as a band in its own right but as an appendage to Respite, a thrash metal group made up of the same musicians. The idea was a concert gag — a sideline of rude, funny songs to be played by the same people in the same room. The name came from the calf of the then guitarist Bartosz Krusznicki, who would later move to the front of the stage and become the group's singer and leader. The first concert took place on 12 November 2002 at the Kotłownia student club in Toruń.
Two of that original core are still in place. Krusznicki has sung and played acoustic guitar since 2002; the bassist Artur "Carlos" Wszeborowski has been there since the start. Maciej "Ziggy" Charytoniak took over electric guitar in 2007 and has stayed. The keyboard chair turned over twice — Piotr Śmietanka until 2010, Michał Korpusik from 2010 to 2014 — before Dominik "Długi" Skwarczyński settled into it. The most recent change was behind the kit: Jakub Olszewski left in 2020 and Maciej Matuszczyk replaced him.
What held the thing together through those changes was the writing. The songs are built on Polish idiom and Polish irritations, frequently coarse, and they aim at recognisable targets rather than at abstractions. That is also what limits the band's reach — the jokes do not translate — and why its touring map has stayed, with occasional exceptions, inside Poland.
Six albums, slowly
The recorded output came late and has never been rushed. The debut Bąż Woa appeared on 21 March 2010, eight years after the first gig. Perpetuum Debile followed on 8 February 2013, O-dur C-ból on 1 April 2017 and Socjalibacja on 31 January 2020. A compilation, Grejtest Szits, was released on 27 September 2019. The fifth studio record, ĘĆ, arrived on 3 November 2023.
Live recordings have done as much work as the studio ones. Live Pol'And'Rock Festival 2019, issued on 8 November 2019, documents the band at the scale it had reached by then, and Na Żywca followed in June 2024. The songs that carried the name furthest — "Rapapara", "Adelajda", "Gender" — are the satirical ones, and they still anchor what audiences turn up expecting.
The festival route explains the size of the crowds. The group first played Przystanek Woodstock in 2011 and became a regular from 2018. In 2019 it won the Złoty Bączek, the audience-voted award that comes with a guaranteed slot on the Pol'and'Rock main stage, and played it that year. A twentieth-anniversary tour and a jubilee release marked 2022. In 2025 the band took dates in the Czech Republic, Romania, the Netherlands and Slovakia.
Bekalog
The sixth studio album, Bekalog, was released on 19 September 2025 with twelve new compositions. It was recorded at the Custom 34 studio with Piotr Łukaszewski producing, and the band has described it as a survey of the absurdities of present-day Poland — supermarket skirmishes, politics, the way people treat each other.
Krusznicki has framed the record as a distance travelled from simply making crude jokes about everything. Charytoniak put the studio ambition plainly: the aim was to sound completely professional without losing the natural flow and breath of the playing. That is audible in the arrangements, which lean harder on the brass players the band now carries than any previous album did.
"Potylica", a song about a gamer and his girlfriend, has become the record's most-watched track; its official video followed in 2026. The album launch was backed by a touring production that added a brass section, lighting design and pyrotechnics, which Skwarczyński flagged at the time of release.
Where things stand in 2026
The Bekalog Tour proper ran through the first half of the year: seventeen Polish cities from mid-February to mid-April 2026, in clubs, cultural centres and pubs rather than arenas. It was followed by the usual summer festival work, including Rockowizna in Poznań over 20–22 August 2026.
The most recent notable appearance came on the opening Friday of the Jarmark Chmielo-Wikliniarski in Nowy Tomyśl, held from 4 to 6 September 2026, where the band played before Wilki. The local report described the set as a mix of heavy playing, humour and stage self-deprecation, with the brass section adding colour to the guitar sound and the crowd picking up the energy quickly despite poor weather. That is a fair summary of how the group functions outside its own club circuit: it is now a booking that regional festivals use to open an evening for a bigger heritage name.
Ticket-seller feedback is unusually consistent for an act at this level. KupBilecik carries an average of 4.99 out of 5 across 423 reviews, with comments going back years repeating the same two points — the energy and the contact with the room.
The acoustic turn
The autumn 2026 run is the first full acoustic tour in the band's history, and it is being sold on that novelty. It opens on 4 October in Gomunice and closes on 14 December in Zabrze, taking in more than twenty towns; the promoters list 21 dates on sale, among them Szamotuły on 10 October, Płock's Rock 69 on 16 October, Kombinat Kultury in Toruń on 17 October, Legnica on 23 October, Żagań on 24 October, Lubawka on 25 October, Baza in Olsztyn on 30 October, Suwałki on 13 November, Łomża on 14 November, the Oskard in Konin on 20 November, Sosnowiec on 21 November, Żory on 22 November, Siedlce on 27 November, Zamość on 28 November, Gostyń on 4 December, Sulęcin on 5 December, Dębno on 6 December, Tczew on 11 December and Bielsko-Biała on 18 December. Festival bookings at Fuck Off Festival in Gdańsk on 7 November and Warsaw on 19 December, plus the Open Beer Festiwal in Kielce on 12 December, sit inside the same window.
The band's own description warns against the obvious assumption: acoustic here does not mean mournful. The promise is new instruments and unusual arrangements, a brass section — Natalia Gajda on saxophones and flute, Łukasz Folwarczny on trumpet and flugelhorn, Jakub Stawiarski on trombone and helicon — and scenography and lighting built for this tour alone, with the evening structured as one long story told through music, speech and staging rather than a run of songs.
Prices sit at 89 złoty in Toruń and Olsztyn and from 95.90 złoty across the eBilet listings. Most shows start at 20:00. Several venues admit under-18s free, with under-15s required to have an adult with them, and no filming is permitted without the band's agreement.
The show, now
The autumn 2026 shows are a deliberate break from the band's usual club set: the first full acoustic tour it has attempted, running 4 October to 14 December across more than twenty Polish towns, mostly in cultural centres, pubs and small concert halls with doors at 20:00. The line-up on stage is the five-piece plus a three-player brass section — saxophone and flute, trumpet and flugelhorn, trombone and helicon — and the arrangements have been rebuilt around new instruments rather than simply stripped down; the band's own warning is that acoustic here is not going to mean mournful. Lighting and scenography have been made for this run alone, and the evening is structured as a single narrative told through music, spoken sections and staging instead of a straight run of songs, with the electric tour's pyrotechnics left behind. No support acts are listed for the club dates, though three of the bookings sit inside festivals — Fuck Off Festival in Gdańsk on 7 November and Warsaw on 19 December, and the Open Beer Festiwal in Kielce on 12 December. The reputation the tour trades on was on display at the Jarmark Chmielo-Wikliniarski in Nowy Tomyśl on 4 September 2026, where the group opened the Friday before Wilki and a local report credited the brass with adding colour to the guitar sound and noted how quickly the crowd took the energy off the stage despite the weather. Ticket-buyer feedback on KupBilecik averages 4.99 out of 5 across 423 reviews, with the recurring comments being the pace of the set and the band's contact with the room.
