Kristie Kardio is a multi-genre DJ who blends different subgenres of techno into fluid and immersive sets. Her mixes are known for their hypnotic mood, melancholic melodies and progressive energy that steadily builds into powerful moments on the dancefloor.
Since 2017 she has been an active and respected figure on the Slovak and Czech techno scene. Over the years she has shared stages with electronic music legends such as Jeff Mills, SNTS, Dave Clarke and Estella Boersma.
He is currently entering a new musical chapter – in addition to DJ sets, he also presents his own work under the alter ego Blue Mental, in which he combines a mix of screamo, experimental, indie rock, and pop.
At Pohoda you can expect a night driven by rhythm, lights and hypnotic beats – a set that moves from deep techno grooves to euphoric rave moments on the dancefloor.
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, SHERELLE A/V Show, 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.
