Dub Pistols
Dub Pistols refer to themselves as the most successful unsuccessful band of all times and the hardest working lazy people in history. The planned huge arrival of the band on the American scene took place in September 2001, and thus remained (as well as anything else at that time) in the shadow of the events of 9/11. The “commercial fail”, however, resulted in gradual gaining of the festival scene, evidenced by a number of nominations and winning the contests assessing best live performances. That is why we cannot miss Baz Ashworth and company at the 20th edition of Pohoda.

Dub Pistols play music on the verge of genres like dub, jungle, breakbeat, hip-hop, disco, electronica, with occasional intrusions into reggae, ska, and punk (especially during live shows). This combination of attributes which are assigned to them by journalists and fans was summed up by the band members as: “We try to make good music”. They are really doing it well, as their music was used in films like Blade 2, Bad Company, and Mystery Man, and in computer games FIFA 99, NBA Live 08, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. They have also collaborated with artists such as Busta Rhymes and Molotov and produced many excellent remixes. In April 2014, they showed their qualities before the visitors at the concert in KC Dunaj. In the meantime, they released the album “Return Of The Pistoleros” whose name can be taken literally by Slovak fans, as Dub Pistols are up to a great “Slovak” return at Pohoda 2016.
