Wurst, who won last year’s Eurovision Song Contest, will perform her hits and covers at the sixth annual Coven Festival in the city of Kielce.
For the first time security precautions are being taken. The concert also includes Polish music stars and will be broadcast live on state television. The appearance of the bearded brunette, born Tom Neuwirth, at the Eurovision contest shocked many in the predominantly conservative Poland, which has no special laws addressing gay rights.
