Techno Queen Daria Kolosova Heads to Pohoda 2026
Ukrainian DJ and producer Daria Kolosova has become one of the defining names of today’s techno scene. Her intense and precisely crafted sets — blending groove-driven techno with elements of breakbeat, electro and hardcore — will take over the SLSP Arena at Pohoda 2026 from Thursday night into Friday morning.
01. June 2026
Born in eastern Ukraine, Daria’s passion for electronic music started early after hearing “Diesel Power” by The Prodigy. After moving to Kyiv, she became a resident at the legendary Keller club under the alias Dar:k and co-founded the Materia UA party series. Later, she began performing under her real name and steadily established herself as one of the most respected artists on the global techno circuit.
Today, Daria regularly performs at world-renowned venues and festivals including Berghain, Fabric, Bassiani, as well as Tomorrowland, Awakenings and Time Warp. During her first Ibiza season, she also played at Amnesia, Hï and DC-10.
Her performances are known for their emotional intensity, dynamic storytelling and constant tension-building. For Daria, music is more than just something to dance to — it is a form of communication, empathy and shared energy with the crowd. That’s what makes her sets so immersive, unpredictable and powerful.
On Thursday night, the SLSP Arena will transform into a pulsating techno space led by Daria Kolosova and her unmistakable high-energy sound.
Pohoda 2026 will feature performances by The Cure, Gorillaz, The Prodigy, Lykke Li, Denzel Curry, IDLES, Oliver Tree, Apashe & Brass Orchestra, Action Bronson, Emilíana Torrini, Baxter Dury, and many more.
The festival is already sold out; only the last thousand 4-day passes are still available.
One-day tickets for THE CURE Extra Day are still available.
Pohoda Festival will take place on July 8 & July 9–11, 2026, at Trenčín Airport.
