Martin Skúpy had been part of the Pohoda family since 1998, when the festival moved to the Pod Sokolicami grounds. There, Martin was in charge of the stadium and the cultural centre, both of which hosted Pohoda until 2003. When the festival moved to the airport, Martin stayed with us and became a member of the core team. Along with his amazing work and dedication, he always brought a great atmosphere with him. Martin passed away on Saturday 31 May. Below is a personal message from Michal Kaščák, read at Martin’s farewell. → read more

A meteor arrived from space, from the planet Džupiter (Djupiter). It broke apart in the atmosphere of Džemeguľa (Djearth) and landed in a field behind the village. From it grew potatoes – half-extraterrestrials. They call themselves Džemiaky (Djotatoes). They preserve their scientific knowledge like jam—inside songs. They perform as a family animated band so you won’t be afraid of them. As the country, such its Gorillaz. We’re excited that this year, they’ll be landing at the Trenčín Airport too, straight into the Family Park. → read more
