Jam performed on 27 August at the Top of the Top Sopot Festival with Sebastian Riedle, not Arthur Gadowski, at the microphone. The band played 3 hits, and any netizens criticized the singer's diction. Gadowski sang that evening with an IRA group and faced a separate method problem regarding guitar listening.
Jam played 3 celebrated tracks
Jam appeared at the Forest Opera on 27 August, during the final evening of the Top of the Top Sopot Festival 2026. The performance “Top of the Rock” was devoted to Polish stone music. Sebastian Riedel, who has been vocalist of the band since 2024, stood by the microphone.
As shown by TVN transmission organizer's coverage, the group performed “How a Painted Bird”, “Sen about Victoria” and “Time Machine”. The audience at the Forest Opera sang together with the band, especially with the most recognizable tracks. This is an crucial context, due to the fact that the audience's reactions on the place and the comments of the viewers were not the same.
Internet users argued over Sebastian Riedl's diction
After the broadcast, any commentators on TVN's profiles cast a vague diction on Sebastian Riedl. There were opinions that people who did not know the lyrics were hard to admit the words sung. another viewers defended the performance, praised the character of the vocalist's voice and the similarity of his timbre to his father's voice, Richard Riedl. Online reactions they so show a clear division of assessments.
There is no reason to draw a verdict from a fewer comments from the full audience. However, the criticism was circumstantial and afraid the knowing of the text. In the case of Jam, this is peculiarly important. The strength of his repertoire has always been based on the combination of blues-rock sound with words that entered the Polish collective memory. If the transmission is lost in transmission, the viewer has the right to point it out.
We besides request to be honest with the contractor. The tv reception of the performance depends on the vocalist's voice, sound phase and signal implementation. The available accounts confirm critical comments, but do not technically find what precisely caused problems with knowing words.
Artur Gadowski performed with IRA
Artur Gadowski's name appeared in search engines in connection with the same festival evening, but with another event. Gadowski is the lead vocalist of the IRA band. During his performance, there was a problem with listening to the guitar, which the musician signaled to the audience. After the intervention, the method of the performance continued, which he informed about One in relation to IRA performance.
Combining Gadowski with comments about the diction of the vocalist Jam is so a mistake. The jam was singing with Sebastian Riedle. IRA performed with Artur Gadowski. Both teams played during "Top of the Rock", but online discussions afraid 2 distinct situations.
Polish stone classical requires good performance
Jam occupies a permanent place in Polish popular culture. specified an accomplishment does not request to be protected from physical criticism. On the contrary, large songs deserve to be performed and realized, which let the audience to hear their meaning.
Sebastian Riedel faces an highly hard task. He sings a repertoire associated with his father, and each performance is compared to recordings rooted in memory of respective generations. The evaluation should relate to a peculiar concert, without denying it the right to its own interpretation. In Sopot, any heard the problem, others the strength of the household musical heritage.
