Anniversary Pohoda rewrites its own history. Thank you for the most beautiful celebration of our 30th edition
The 30th anniversary edition of the Pohoda festival is behind us, and we can say with great joy that together we experienced the most beautiful Pohoda in our history. Tens of thousands of people gathered at Trenčín Airport over four days to celebrate music, art, freedom, respect and community – the values Pohoda has stood for over three decades.

"Thank you for such an exceptional celebration of the 30th Pohoda. We received the most beautiful gift possible: the support and unique atmosphere created by the best audience in the world. It's our visitors who give our festival its meaning. We had such a great time together that even though a week of packing up still awaits us, we can already hardly wait for the next one," says festival director Michal Kaščák, summing up the 30th edition.
Pohoda 2026 sold out months before it began. The anniversary edition drew 33,000 paying visitors. The total number of people on site was even higher, as the festival was also brought to life by more than a thousand performers, hundreds of volunteers and part-time workers, staff from partner organizations, food and beverage vendors, bars, and other members of our festival team.
The performers themselves were also a great source of joy for us. Many of them – including some headliners – moved incognito among the audience during the festival, watched their fellow artists' concerts, or simply enjoyed Pohoda like regular guests. Their heartfelt reactions and words of appreciation are among the greatest recognitions we could receive.
The 30th edition rewrote our history in more ways than one. Records were broken not only in attendance, but also in interest for next year's edition. Even while the festival was still underway, between Wednesday and Sunday noon, more than 10,000 tickets for Pohoda 2027 were sold – the most successful pre-sale launch in our festival's history.
Thank you for all the smiles, hugs, wonderful messages, photos, videos, and the energy you brought to Trenčín Airport. Thank you to all the visitors, partners, volunteers, part-time workers, suppliers, performers, and the entire festival team. Without you, Pohoda wouldn't be Pohoda.
We're already looking forward to the 31st edition of the Pohoda festival, taking place July 8–10, 2027, once again at Trenčín Airport.
Tickets for Pohoda 2027 are now on sale at a discounted price in our e-shop. See you again in a year.
