Thursday Feel Good. In 4 Weeks, Gorillaz, IDLES and Sofia Kourtesis Take Over Trenčín Airport
Yesterday it was Wednesday I'm In Love. Today, it's time for Thursday Feel Good. In exactly four weeks, the first full festival day of Pohoda 2026 will be underway, bringing some of the most exciting names of this year's programme to Trenčín Airport. Thursday will belong to one of the defining bands of the past few decades, the energy of contemporary punk, forward-thinking electronic music, and distinctive songwriting voices.

Making their long-awaited Pohoda debut, Gorillaz will headline Thursday's programme. Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s groundbreaking virtual band has shaped popular music for over two decades, creating timeless songs that continue to resonate across generations.
Also taking the stage are British post-punk favourites IDLES, renowned for their explosive live performances, uncompromising energy and powerful messages. Few contemporary bands can match the intensity they bring to a festival crowd.
Electronic music fans can look forward to Sofia Kourtesis, the Peruvian-German producer and DJ whose emotionally charged sets blend dancefloor euphoria with deeply personal storytelling.
New Zealand singer-songwriter Aldous Harding will bring her unmistakable artistic vision to Pohoda, combining delicate songwriting, enigmatic stage presence and some of the most original music of recent years.
Completing today's selection is Ukrainian artist Alina Pash, whose powerful performances seamlessly connect contemporary sounds with Carpathian folk traditions and a strong sense of cultural identity.
Pohoda 2026 is now just a few weeks away, and only the last remaining 4-day tickets are still available. Single-day tickets for The Cure Extra Day on Wednesday, 8 July, also remain on sale, featuring performances by The Cure, The Twilight Sad, Just Mustard, Denis Bango and Hiroko Yamamura.
We can't wait to welcome you back to Trenčín Airport. In four weeks' time, Thursday will truly feel good.
