Lyrik, Bene, and Roland Kánik, one stage, and a great joy of the release of the new album “Luxus clan”: they replaced their motto “more boring than life” with “about everything and nothing rap”, but it still is the same old Lyrik, the same old Bene backed by Roland. Self-reflection instead of egotrips and interestingly arranged background music instead of generic samples: Modré hory will present their new excellent album also at Pohoda 2018. → read more

You will not be able to enter the festival venues using such a ticket, and the idea of saving a few euros may mean the loss of tens of euros and may leave you before the festival gates. Entry is guaranteed only with a ticket purchased through our official vendors, the list can be found here: www.pohodafestival.sk/sk/listky → read more

It is midnight and the Uprateka (Cleaning Party) afterparty following last year’s Pohoda culminates. Some people ask our office assistant Janka to play the piano and sing something. The group around her gradually grows until they fill the entry hall and the staircase of our office at the airport. Janka attempts to leave the piano but can’t resist the constant requests to play some more covers and her own compositions. The group around the piano are temporary workers, volunteers, fans of metal and techno music, and all of them are thrilled. The offer to perform at Pohoda 2018 is delivered at about half past one in the morning and so the first requested name of the upcoming edition is one of the most successful gospel bands in Slovak, Heartbeat. → read more
