The premiere of the film 22 – a documentary about Pohoda 2018 by Lucia Kašová and her team – was also presented at Pohoda Day_FM. The original intention was quite obvious and atypical – to look at the biggest music festival in Slovakia without music.

Pohoda 2019 will also feature the instrumental post-rock trio Our Stories. Their dynamic guitar music is characterized by energetic drums and playful bass lines. In addition to last year's Pohoda, they also proved their qualities at this year's Eurosonic, as evidenced by great reviews from British media such as DIY, All Things Loud and portals from Holland (OOR) and Belgium (Focus Knack). They will come to Trenčín in a new line-up, with a new sound and, above all, with their debut album Pursuit of Happiness. → read more

Children have a stage at Pohoda that adults may be envious about. Music, theatre, dance, workshops, and many other activities will be available from morning to evening.
