The fifth year of Doma Dobre with Bazzookas, Medial Banana, Katarína Máliková and Matúš Vallo a capella

The fifth year of Doma Dobre with Bazzookas, Medial Banana, Katarína Máliková and Matúš Vallo a capella

For the fifth time, we will bring great bands and interesting debates to the Night shelter of St. Vincent de Paul, as a part of the event titled Doma Dobre (Well at Home). The aim of the concerts is to point out the issue of living without home directly in a place that is often the only chance for over a thousand people to survive winter. The main star of this year will be the Dutch ska-rock band Bazzookas, who won the hearts of our attenders at Pohoda in 2016 and 2018 with their pop-up concerts in their school bus. They also lived up to their reputation and exceptional approach when they did not hesitate and agreed on performing at the Doma Dobre concert, refusing any royalty (with the addition, that everything that is collected from the volunteer admissions goes to the people in need). The concert will be opened by our most successful reggae group, Medial Banana, after then Katka Máliková with the band will perform. She dominated the 9th Radio_Head Awards and she represented Slovakia at Eurosonic at the beginning of the year. On Sunday, December 9th, in the low-threshold dormitory of St. Vincent de Paul, a discussion about homelessness will take place, featuring the founder of Depaul Slovakia, Juraj Barát, the current director Jozef Kákoš and the Mayor of Bratislava, Matúš Vallo. The event also includes exhibitions of photos and video projections, and a novelty will be a children's play area with an interactive performance "About a Boy Who Sought the Smell of Chocolate". The admission to the concert is free, just like the past years. However, you can help people without a home by your voluntary contribution. → read more

Rolling Stone India: Slovakia’s Pohoda Festival and Its Holy Grail

Rolling Stone India: Slovakia’s Pohoda Festival and Its Holy Grail

"To sum up Pohoda without sounding melodramatic is tough. It is a festival full of the most pleasant little revelations, friendliest and open-minded people, eclectic and well structured at the same time. It’s got a lineup that is more diverse than the Lollapaloozas and Coachellas of the world put together." writes Gaurav Narula in the review for Rolling Stone India.

Pohoda nominated for Festival of the Future Awards

Pohoda nominated for Festival of the Future Awards

Festival of the Future Awards – new awards organized by the Festicket company nominated Pohoda among the best five festivals in a truly interesting category of “Accommodation”. A varied range of the accommodation options that we constantly expand caught the attention of the awards organizers. The Black&Fresh tents (in two and three-place versions), spacious five-place tents in Fox and Chill Village, original solutions in the form of wooden Huts Trenčín and Huts Inovec were gradually added to the classic Tent Inns. We also greatly expanded the space for caravans. We still provide tent camps for free as one of the few European festivals. → read more

Shortparis at Koncert pre všímavých

Shortparis at Koncert pre všímavých

It is difficult to define the original line-up of St. Petersburg Shortparis by the genre. Their music is somewhere between dark electro, post-punk or noise; in the live version, in addition, combined with performative-theatrical acts. Mary Anne Hobbs, the DJ of BBC 6 played at Ment after them and said that Shortparis totally blew her mind. John Doran of The Quietus says they are the band you still dream of meeting once, but it rarely happens. In the number of superlatives he says that they are ambitious, bombastic, incredibly spectacular, exciting... Gigwise or Louderthanwar journalists have also praised them highly and we believe they will soon impress the Slovaks. → read more

Vec & Škrupo with the band at Koncert pre všímavých

Vec & Škrupo with the band at Koncert pre všímavých

One of the most prominent figures of the Slovak hip-hop, Vec, will perform together with the band composed of Filip and Jakub Hittrich, Andrej Hruška and Roland Kánik at the Refinery Gallery. In 2016 he released the EP Domáce potreby for which he received the Radio_Head Awards in the Hip-hop / Rap / R'n'B category. He won over people because neither his music nor his lyrics are dominated by the ego, but by the idea and opinion – and all that with a dose of perspective. He has been entertaining people with great music for two decades, but he also responds to more serious topics in society. In 2016, for example, he performed at the Concert for the Attentive, in March he played at the Concert for Ján and Martina and recently he was in a refugee camp in South Sudan where the humanitarian organization Magna helps people. → read more
