This year's Audioriver By Day is taken over by the Independent Market project. The opinion poll and the debate are behind us and there's only one element left to be announced - the list of Polish companies taking part in the Music Scene Trade Fair and the names of artists conducting the Red Bull Music Academy workshops.

Let's begin with the latter as we've got some electrifying news here: Metro Area and dBridge are the festival's headliners that are going to share their knowledge with you in the Red Bull Music Academy tent situated on the Old Market Square. That's going to be on Saturday, while on Sunday, Polish graduate's of the Academy are going to conduct workshops and perform on stage. As for special performances, Gerd Janson - RBMA team member - is going to be the first foreign artist to perform on Audioriver By Day. First, but not the only one, because one of the trade fair exhibitors - Skylark Records – has booked DATA from Goldie's Metalheadz label.

As for other exhibitors - we've got excellent Polish companies ranging from event agencies, record labels, clubs to designers. There are even organizers of other festivals which shows our aim to support each other instead of competing.

Each of the handpicked organizations has an hour of the daytime musical program to showcase their company and associated artists. Here's the list of the companies and the artists' they are bringing to the stage on the Old Market Square in Plock:

Good Music Productions - stand/exhibition only
Skylark Records - DATA (Metalheadz, Tempa)
Recognition Recodings – Motyl
Szajse Records - Simone Passa & Inpulzz
Electroclash.pl, Saturator Label, IM@HOME - Pink Bazooka, IM2
