A Host of Exceptional Slovak Concerts Await at Pohoda 2025
We love Slovak artists, and they love us. Otherwise, they wouldn’t prepare such special concerts, performances, and surprises for Pohoda. We can look forward to the premieres of new projects, songs, and audiovisual shows, as well as collaborations and musical moments that can only happen at Pohoda. Read on to find out what’s in store.

Nina Kohout on the Zlatý Bažant Stage
Back in 2016, a 13-year-old Nina Kohout stood on the Orange Stage alongside Yael Shoshana Cohen from Lola Marsh, singing an emotional duet. Nine years later, Trenčín native Nina Kohout returns to Pohoda as a recognised and award-winning musician, opening the Zlatý Bažant Stage on the very first day of the festival.
At exactly 7:45 p.m., she’ll kick off the programme on Pohoda’s biggest stage with a concert that will also feature songs from her debut album Gentle Autopsy. Nina will share the stage with trip-hop legends Massive Attack, who will perform their 90-minute show at 10:15 p.m.
Richard Müller to perform a 75-minute concert with a 40-member band
The legendary singer Richard Müller returns to Pohoda after an incredible 16 years. He’s bringing a huge band, complete with a brass section, choir, and vocalists. We believe his concert at Trenčín Airport will be one of the highlights of Pohoda 2025.
Fallgrapp & Spectrum Orchestra to premiere new arrangements from their latest album
In 2024, Fallgrapp celebrated their tenth anniversary with a special project in collaboration with the ten-piece Spectrum Orchestra, led by violinist Ján Kružliak Jr. The result was a unique musical fusion that gave well-known songs a new life thanks to the original arrangements by Andrea Kružliaková, Haimoni Balgavá, and Martin Majlo Štefánik. This musical journey will continue to evolve with brand-new arrangements of songs from their current album Anthropos, which will have their premiere at Pohoda 2025.
Bez ladu a skladu will celebrate their 40th anniversary with the launch of the album IBA RAZ, featuring special guests
Bez ladu a skladu will celebrate their 40th anniversary at Pohoda with a special concert featuring the brass band Lucerka, and they’ll also launch their album IBA RAZ, which will be released on vinyl for the first time.
The concert will also feature a performance by students from the Talentina Private Primary Art School (Laura Lelovicsová, Andrea Režňáková, Zoja Zagorski, Lenka Gálová, and Laura Madleňáková) as part of the piece “Dark Grotesque (Tear Off His Head)”, choreographed by Katarína Zagorski.
VEC will come to Pohoda with a host of musical guests
Vec ALLSTARS is a double XL menu. Together, they are prepared to serve up the very best they have to offer. Tono S., Zverina, Škrupo, Kriss Krimm, Supa, and Šimon Švidraň, backed by a seasoned band, will deliver a high-energy concert, with the legendary Branislav Vincze taking care of the visuals behind them. We guarantee that not a single ear will be left dry.
FVLCRVM to premiere his new audiovisual show at Pohoda
Electronic multi-talent FVLCRVM, one of the brightest stars of Slovakia’s dance scene, returns to Trenčín Airport with a brand-new audiovisual show. He’ll be joined by several guests on stage and will also perform new tracks from his upcoming album.
Book launch of Čau na turnaji during VBPS concert
During the concert of Vydrapená Bužírka Punk System at Pohoda 2025, a special moment will take place—the launch of a novel named after one of the band’s songs, “Čau na turnaji”. The book was written by Peter "Šlepo" Šlepecký, author of the acclaimed novel Láska spred Slovnaftu, who tragically passed away in 2021.
The novel, which includes autobiographical elements, tells the story of Laco’s life on the streets and his relationship with a woman working in the sex industry. It’s about finding your path in a society full of prejudice and about searching for love in the most unexpected places. The book was published by OZ Odyseus, an organisation that supports people who use drugs and/or work in the sex industry. You can visit OZ Odyseus at their SEX/DRUGS stand at Pohoda, where the book will also be available for purchase.
Bene & Video to play their first concert at Pohoda
Bene lives in Bratislava, Dave lives in Los Angeles. They connected remotely and are now releasing their debut album, which they’ll perform live for the first time at Trenčín Airport.
Special concerts are also promised by Berlin Manson and Fvck_Kvlt. Many bands will invite guest performers on stage, and some will even celebrate their “birthdays” at Pohoda – as is the case with Chiki liki tu-a and PPE, who are marking the 30th anniversary of their formation this year.
