Pohoda included again in the selection of the best festivals in Europe

Pohoda appears again in the selections of the best events in Europe announced by several foreign media. The Daily Telegraph named the paragraph on our festival “Pohoda Party” and appreciated the friendly atmosphere, affordability, accessibility, as well as visual arts and debate alongside the music. Manchester Evening News and Sheerluxe.com have also reported on Pohoda in a similar manner. The Dutch Festileaks particularly praises an impressive collection of highly rated names. Pohoda was included again in the selection of the specialized portal Music Festival Wizard, where the author mentions that we are one of the most favourite festivals of their editor-in-chief. Dutch Grazia Trend have also included Pohoda in their “cool list”; DIY also regularly update their readers on our news.

The Best European Music Festivals Taking Place In 2020

The great British festival: often waterlogged, always muddy. If you’re looking to combine a weekend watching the best music acts with a few days in the sun, hop over to one of Europe’s most popular festivals. From Spain to Slovakia, here are some of our favourites…

Now in its 24th year, Slovakia’s Pohoda is a music and arts festival where alternative, indie, electronica and punk meet world and classical music. You’ll also find an impressive array of literature, dance, film and theatre across the weekend that takes place at a former military airfield almost equidistance to Slovakia’s capital, Bratislava, and Vienna. A three-day ticket, including camping, costs £95.

Perhaps the most underrated line-up of the year: Pohoda 2020

Nothing more fun than comparing festival line-up, we think at Festileaks. Pohoda Festival in Slovakia catches our eye already repeatedly this year. At Pohoda there  will be this summer a big collection of high rated names. And that’s impressive.

So although the poster of the Slovak festival may not be the biggest star at first glance, it is certainly special. Not only when you look at how the festival has grown, but also at the many authentic acts that are there. And a festival where even the artists have such a good time that they want to go there every year, can’t that only be a big party?
