This Friday, London Elektricity Big Band are about to release a live album from Pohoda 2017. Tony Colman writes, “It was quite possibly the best gig I’ve ever been involved in. Huah!” and MC Fava says, “Without any doubt the concert of my life <3”. Visitors had similar reactions to band’s performance. It’s a huge honor and from the teasing video it’s clear that we have a lot to look forward to ;) → read more

Following his premiere at Pohoda, DJ Džbán, a recently-become-father, head of our production, and legend of afterparty after afterparty, will test his eclectic set and the movement culture of the KC Dunaj club visitors.  → read more

Decadent touch, intense vocals, electronic and live arrangements, and unconventional videos keep winning still more fans for Panáčik. Even more remarkable are his performances; he did one of his shows also at this yearʼs Pohoda Deň_FM and at Pohoda. His set simply cannot go unnoticed: the visitors of the Concert for the Attentive will be able to experience that. → read more

Lola Marsh is the only foreign band to perform at Pohoda three times in a row. Each time they managed to attract huge crowds under the biggest stages. The registrations for free entry for their concert at Pohoda Deň FM were gone in bare two hundred seconds! Also the tickets for their concert in the A4 club virtually disappeared and the concert was sold out three months before the event. Similarly, their show in the Tabačka club was sold out in advance. Since their premiere at Pohoda in 2014, they have performed in Slovakia every year, and 2018 will not be an exception. In three months, on the 14th of February, we will welcome them again—this time they will appear at the Refinery Gallery in Bratislava. → read more

ABOP is an acronym for the Croatian proverb “After party is better than the party”. This prominent Croatian electronic band loves dance music, but every beat is hand-made. Instead of patterns, two drummers, precise as a watch, beat the drums sitting opposite each other. The band is further composed of a bass guitar player, sound engineer, and two keyboard players, all of whom are also known from other top Yugoslav bands.  → read more

Since November 1st, Pohoda team has become a bit bigger. Our Production Team has a new member, Gretka Pavlovová. Grétka has been organizing an amazing Festival Atmosféra (by the way, you can nominate it in the last section of EFA poll) in her home village of Hontianske Nemce for seven years. She also won our favor at Pohoda where she did a great job during her premiere working as a stage manager. A young Belgian, Suzanne Verschueren, helps us with international communication as well as other tasks. “Zuzka” worked for us as an intern and we often could not keep pace with her and give her assignments. While taking care of email communication with journalists from aboard, she completed a fork-lift operation training and also photo-documented preparation works at the airport. We believe that with their help, Pohoda will be even more chill and fun. Ladies, welcome :) → read more

A jury comprising music industry experts have listed Pohoda 2017’s lineup in Europe’s Top 10. Taking the fact that this is the second time in a row that we have received this nomination into account, our happiness is even bigger. We are competing with much bigger and richer festivals – Glastonbury, Roskilde, Lollapalooza Berlin, Rock Werchter, NOS Alive, Melt!, Lowlands, OpenAir St. Gallen and Sziget. “It’s something exceptional; we’ve appeared in the company of the most prestigious events. Putting a lineup together for an independent festival in a country of Slovakia’s kind, with its sponsoring limits and with our ticket prices, is an interesting artistic discipline… We choose a more difficult way and want to remain an interesting alternative festival – colleagues from abroad noticing our effort and appreciating it to such an extent that they add us to the elite club, is something that makes me even prouder. This exceptionally positive and motivating piece of news comes at the right time, when the selection of artists for the next edition is in full swing,” says Michal Kaščák as a reaction to this great achievement. → read more
