“Once you visit, you will want to come back every year to get new experiences,” wrote the Hungarian Music-daily about Pohoda. Their colleagues from the portal added: “The most striking thing was that there were no “filler” artists in the programme compressed in two and a half days, they only had quality, contemporary, and exciting artists.” Polish Radio 17 wrote in the conclusion report of the three days: “There was so much going on that it would be difficult to describe such an adventure in a few words, or to choose what impressed the most. There is a question though that I can answer with one word only. It was worth it? Yes.” Katharina Seidler, in a review for the Austrian radio FM4, wrote about a city in which everybody understands each other. In her following article, she added that Pohoda renewed her belief in the fact that there are still great festivals without completely drunk visitors that are full of human dignity and kindness. Our friends from Ukraine even created a sub-page on their new website dedicated specially to Pohoda. → read more
