Pohoda 2019 will also host the Bratislava reggae favourites Medial Banana. They already performed at Pohoda in 2015 and 2018, and the recording of their first concert is the second most viewed video we've ever added to our YouTube channel. Reggaeville.com, the most respected reggae website, ranked their collaboration album Inna Jamdown shot in Jamaica in the selection of the best albums of 2016. Their success lies on the basic pillars of the band, which, according to their own words, are tolerance, chill, love for nature, sun and comfort. Our most popular reggae band was formed ten years ago and we’re happy they’ll come to celebrate with us at the Trenčín Airport, too. → read more
