Pohoda has once again been nominated for the most prestigious European Festival Awards, in the Best Medium-Sized Festival category. You can support us with your vote until midnight on Thursday, November 20, 2025.

19. November 2025

You can vote for us in the second category, Best Medium-Sized Festival.

The 2025 edition was exceptional for us – according to you and the performers, it was the best in the history of the festival. Three days of unforgettable atmosphere, a sold-out capacity of 30,000, concerts by world-famous artists such as Iggy Pop, Queens of the Stone Age, Fontaines D.C., Africa Express with Damon Albarn, and unforgettable performances by JPEGMafia, FERG, Joey Valence & Brae, and Richard Müller. Your feedback was the best reward for us.

Thanks to your votes, we can get on the longlist of festivals, from which a professional jury will select the final shortlist of the TOP 10 best medium-sized festivals in Europe.

Every vote helps raise the profile of Pohoda and the Slovak music scene in Europe. It helps us book artists and prepare for Pohoda. 

You can also support our partner showcase festival SHARPE, which is nominated in the Best Small Festival category.

You can support us with your vote until November 20, 2025. Thank you for every vote.

The 15th edition of the European Festival Awards will take place on January 14th, 2026, at De Oosterpoort in Groningen, The Netherlands.
