Ventolin returns to Pohoda with a special AV show in the SLSP Arena
After last year’s electrifying performance, Czech electronic wizard Ventolin is returning to Trenčín Airport. At Pohoda 2026, he will perform in the festival’s largest indoor venue – the SLSP Arena – where he will present a special audiovisual show featuring inflatable objects, light-sensitive materials, and expanded video projection.
21. May 2026
Behind the name Ventolin is musician, producer, and academic David Doubek, one of the most distinctive figures of the Czech electronic scene. His live shows combine analogue techno, absurd humour, DIY aesthetics, and unstoppable dancefloor energy. On stage, Ventolin transforms concerts into spontaneous rave performances where club euphoria meets playful experimentation and unique storytelling.
For Pohoda 2026, Ventolin is preparing a special AV show using light objects made from a unique photosensitive material called chute-fabric, alongside a special generative shaping system known as PTAR (potato topography air randomizer). The performance will also feature inflatable installations and enhanced video projection, transforming the SLSP Arena into a surreal dancefloor environment.
Tracks such as Když jedu z hub, Vyšší inteligence, and Jak se vám bydlí? highlight Ventolin’s talent for blending dance music with irony, intimacy, and a singular lyrical voice. His live performances are physical, funny, hypnotic, and wildly entertaining — and his return to Pohoda promises exactly that.
Pohoda 2026 will once again offer a night full of sweat, lights, bizarre imagery, and relentless dancing led by one of the most original electronic performers from our neighbouring scene.
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.
