The hero of an Oscar-winning documentary Searching for Sugar Man, Rodriguez, is performing in Bratislava’s Old Market Hall this Sunday (September 30). His story can be boldly called one of the most powerful in the history of music. His songs were copied by millions, they inspired anti-apartheid warriors, and legends were being told about him, while he was working at construction sites back home. One of the best songwriters from the end of the hippie era has finally earned the merited recognition thanks to the Oscar documentary “Searching for Sugar Man”. His history with Pohoda was powerful, too. It took us six years to finally drag him to our festival, and once here, he did not want to leave. He eventually became the last foreign artist to leave the festival grounds. In the course of conversation, he mentioned his two almost-sold-out shows in the Royal Albert Hall as well as the fact that he would like to return to Slovakia very soon. As a result, there will be just one concert added to those in one of the most prestigious music halls in the world—you can see him in the Old Marketplace in Bratislava on 30th September. The concert will be opened by a talented composer, pianist and singer Andrea Bučko.     → read more

We learned the name of the first Slovakian representative in the Eurosonic 2019 line-up. Yesterday, the biggest European showcase festival released the first list of artists, and it includes ISAMA ZING (Jonatán Pastirčák). His work received very positive response also at the first edition of the Sharpe festival. It was his project that foreign guests at the Listening Session gave the most points to. This producer, DJ, and member of the Mäss collective was nominated by Rádio_FM, which owes this option to the membership of the Slovak Radio and TV in EBU (European Broadcasting Union). In its focus on music from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Eurosonic will release eight more names of local artists at the beginning of November.  → read more

The opening act of the legendary Rodriguezʼs concert next Sunday will be a talented composer, pianist, and singer Andrea Bučko, whose work is often likened to Tori Amos or Norah Jones. In 2012, she debuted with “In the middle of”, which was followed by the album “Polarity” (2015), and this spring, she released the album “Escape” that formed during her nearly two-year residence in Paris. She collaborated on this extraordinarily intimate recording with, for example, Iraqi painter and political refugee Mudi, and the album features also a duet with the singer of the famous Brazilian band Vanguart, Helio Flanders.   → read more

We launched a new shop with several innovations on our website. The big news is that we will sell e-tickets in Slovakia only through our website and we will close our cooperation with Ticketportal. The advantage of the new setting is the possibility to combine all items from the shop (printed tickets and e-tickets, parking, tent, merch, etc.) in one order. We are changing the admission for children. We are pleased with the growing number of kid visitors and appreciate the trust of parents; we are happy that Pohoda is also a place of meeting of various generations. However, it is important for Pohoda to remain comfortable for all, therefore since next yearʼs edition, we will include children over 6 years of age into the total capacity of the festival and will consequently introduce “children” tickets. Admission for children from 6 to 12 years of age will be €39 in pre-sale and €49 on the spot. Another novelty accommodating juniors will be “junior” tickets for visitors from 13 to 17 years of age: the price will be reduced, compared to adult tickets. Tickets for juniors will cost €79 before the festival (€99 on the spot). Tent spots in Family Park and Silent Camp are available for sale starting today, each for €10.   → read more
