Pohoda is represented by the head of our production, Michal Sládek, and our friends from Kreatívna Európa interviewed him about this. In addition to the GEX project itself, our court ecologist, musical ethnologist, and inter-rail globetrotter talks in the video about his favourite country, international food, the pitfalls of writing and creating projects and what projects make sense, the establishment of the Union of World States, and his favourite currency ducat.  → read more

Due to the still complicated situation in connection with the pandemic, the management of the band Lola Marsh decided to reschedule the Central European tour of the band from this September to February 2021. The situation is also made more complex by the fact that Israel is still not on the EU's list of safe countries. In any case, the band can't wait to return to Slovakia and perform live the great songs from their new album Someday Tomorrow Maybe.

The first year of the Pohoda in the Air festival could not have turned out better. The festival was filled with the tremendous commitment of all those who took part in it and the fantastic approach of the artists with which they responded to this challenge; it also received countless support reactions from the spectators. Michal Kaščák says about the festival: “Thanks to the creativity of many people, Pohoda in the Air was a great artistic and technical adventure. It became a three-day installation, in which the empty airport was filled with culture in its various forms—from music through performances, visual arts, literature, and film to debates. I think taking this direction was a fortunate decision. Amazing things were created; we received an intense feedback from the spectators, we met great people, real enthusiasts and professionals in their fields, we learned a lot of new things. I am convinced that thanks to the creativity combined with consistency, trust, and support of many people, we have managed to do an exceptional thing.”   → read more
