Hyphen Dash will bring an energetic fusion of jazz, hip-hop, and electronic music to Pohoda
Pohoda 2026 will feature the Ukrainian quartet Hyphen Dash, one of the most intriguing acts on the contemporary Ukrainian music scene. In their work, they blend hip-hop, jazz, electronic music, and prog-rock, pushing the boundaries of instrumental music.
20. March 2026
The band was formed in 2019 and consists of Myshko Birchenko (drums), Yevhen Puhachov (guitar, bass), Polina Maiboroda (keyboards), and Dmytro Startsev (keybords). To date, they have released a live EP recorded at the NAMU Museum, several singles in collaboration with domestic and international artists, and a mixtape of demo recordings. Their album Basement 626, created just ten kilometers from the front line, even caught the attention of Rolling Stone magazine. Their latest album, LATE, which took six years to complete, confirms the band’s ambition to push both their own sound and the entire scene forward.
At the Trenčín airport, Hyphen Dash will deliver an energetic concert full of rhythm, improvisation, and genre-bending surprises—exactly the kind of show the open-minded festival audience deserves.
Over three days (Thursday to Saturday), Pohoda 2026 will feature performances by Gorillaz, The Prodigy, Lykke Li, Denzel Curry, IDLES, Oliver Tree, Apashe & Brass Orchestra, Action Bronson, Emilíana Torrini, Baxter Dury, and many more.
For the first time in Pohoda’s history, there will also be a standalone Extra Day, featuring The Cure, The Twilight Sad, Just Mustard, and Denis Bango. For Wednesday – The Cure Extra Day, it is possible to purchase a single-day ticket or combine the experience with the full festival by buying a 4-day pass, which is currently the most cost-effective way to enjoy Pohoda in its entirety. Pohoda Festival will take place on July 8 & July 9–11, 2026, at Trenčín Airport.
