Radio Eska calls JADE a "ready-made Main Stage headliner" after her Open'er Festival show, which they say got the loudest response of the day: "With much more musical experience than [other Main Stage acts] was JADE. Beyond her solo career, the singer spent years as a member of the girl group Little Mix. Which begs the question: why wasn't she offered a slot on the Main Stage? This was her first time performing in Poland, but after what happened at the Tent Stage, I'm convinced it won't be her last. JADE received what was probably the loudest applause of all of the artists performing that day. Her show, which is a perfectly balanced blend of live vocals and choreography, delighted from the first second to the very last. Even more impactful than the musical performance itself was the exchange of energy between her and her fans. JADE spoke in Polish, reacted with disbelief to the screams and applause, and after leaving the stage, wrote on Instagram that she'd just played one of the best concerts of her life. She also made a symbolic show of support for the LGBTQ+ community, who she’s been an ally to for years. Referencing her single 'Church,' she emphasised that there's a place for everyone in the Church of JADE. JADE is one of those pop stars who I've seen great potential in for a long time. Her debut album, 'THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY!', is a collection of brilliantly produced pop songs. I'm glad a Polish audience finally had the chance to hear them live. Now all that's left to do is wait for a solo show."

JADE calls her first show in Poland “one of the best shows of her life”: “wtf @opener_festival that was one of the best shows of my life I love you all tysm for showing up for me and giving me everythinggggggg 😭🥹🫶🏽💐‼️👏🏽”

JADE tells the Open’er Festival crowd at her first show in Poland that they’re “one of the best” audiences she’s had: “This is my first time in this country! I’m so excited to be here – and listen… I know this a bit premature, but this is already one of the best crowds by far. I never know what to expect when I come somewhere I’ve never been before. You just don’t know who’s gonna be here. So the fact that this was fucking full before we even began… I’m so grateful, thank you. Now, because you’ve shown up for me, I’m going to show the fuck up for you.”

JADE holds up a Pride flag and a “GIRLS, DOLLS, PARTY BOYS” sign from fans while performing her LGBTQ+ anthem ‘Church’ in Poland, where same-sex marriage is banned, no specific hate crime laws exist to protect LGBTQ+ people, and “LGBT Ideology Free Zones” were only abolished in 2025 due to severe retaliatory funding cuts from the EU

“Fans hoping to catch a glimpse will have to wait until tomorrow, with friends revealing they wanted to soak up today before confirming on social media.” “An organiser berated elderly locals for taking pictures of the celebrations.” “One local said: ‘A lady came up to us and said we can’t take any pictures.’”
