Lay Low is the first confirmed artist from Iceland to play at the Café Kušnierik. There is a lot of symbolism in it, as Juraj Kušnierik was an avid admirer and promoter of Icelandic music and also wrote an excellent book about it, Music of the Island. Lay Low was one of his favourites; her first planned concert at Pohoda was confirmed with us in the backstage after the concert with Emiliana Torrini in Vienna already in February 2009. In the end, the performance did not take place, and we are all the more looking forward to her appearance this year. → read more

Slobodná Európa are releasing their new album Výberofka (The Best of) today—and the band is also in the selection of the best of our festival... :) Slobodná Európa is a punk rock legend. At present, they are clearly in the best concert shape, and more and more we hear them being likened to the Slovak Rolling Stones—of course, with a far better image... :) The members of many years, Whisky and Sveťo Korbel, were joined some time ago by Laco Lučenič who will have a personal tour at Pohoda, as on Thursday he will also play the concert “Nemoderný chalan” dedicated to Meky. The rhythm is taken care of by Tuleň and, on the base, by the former member of Davová Psychóza, Rasťo Gore. In addition to his great playing, also his movements, gestures and funny faces are worth paying attention to, as they contrast perfectly with the minimalist choreography of the “thistle on a swimsuit” of Laco Lučenič.  → read more

The penultimate album Chiki liki tu-a says “3 x 4 = 13”, and this band from Prešov will appear exactly the 13th time at the 24th edition of Pohoda that is celebrating its 25 years. This year, Chiki liki tu-a celebrate their 27 years of existence and at this occasion, they have prepared a re-edition of albums for fans (historically for the first time on vinyl), as well as a complete CD BOX of all recordings.

In March, the long-time member Ľuboslav Petruška left the band and was replaced by Stanislav Sninský aka “Raptor Koch”, with whom our friends from Chiki liki tu-a will perform also at Pohoda 2022. → read more

During Pohoda, you can find loaded cheat-meal as well as refreshing street-food or veggie specials here. → read more
