Urpiner to be the main beer partner of Pohoda for the fourth time

The 23rd Pohoda will continue to cooperate with Banská Bystrica-based brewery Urpiner which is going to be our main beer partner for the fourth time. After having supported the Slovak stars abroad at ESNS 2019, Urpiner is once again helping us to bring foreign stars to Slovakia. Big beer from a small brewery gained our visitors’ favour right during the first year. Every year Urpiner comes with a wide range of its products and beer specials, with the opportunity to try over ten types of beer in their zone. The Beergate, which offered domestic craft beers, was also a favourite spot of the festival and the brewery received a Beer Act of the Year Award for it. In addition to beer, they bring many interesting activities to festival every year as well as the popular self-service beer vending machines. Urpiner people have already announced they’ll bring many innovations to this year's festival which will be discussed in more detail on our website and Facebook. → read more

The British discovery Alxndr London with the band at Pohoda 2019

Pohoda 2019 will also feature the mysterious discovery of the British scene, Alxndr London. He mixes spiritual soul, futuristic electronics, avant-garde r'n‘b, garage, jazz and funky in his work. He's only been on the scene since 2015 and almost immediately made it to the prestigious list of the presenter Annie Mac from BBC Radio 1 – New names to watch. His EP, A Long Time Ago, Today, and 2023, caught the interest of media such as The Clash, The Fader and Observer. According to Gigwise, he has been successfully aiming for the stars. They gave his EP 2023 a rating of 9 out of 10 in the review and compared his vocal expression to Prince. In December he played two solo concerts in Lučenec and Banská Bystrica and in summer he’s coming back (this time also with the band) to the Trenčín airport. → read more

Lianne La Havas — The enchanting neosoul diva to perform at Pohoda 2019

Lianne La Havas — The enchanting neosoul diva to perform at Pohoda 2019

Pohoda 2019 will host the British soul singer Lianne La Havas. Lianne won the iTunes Album of the Year Award and was nominated to Mercury Prize for her debut Is Your Love Big Enough?. In addition, she has had nominations for the MOBO Awards, as well as nominations for the BBC Sound of Brit Awards, and Grammy Awards. Her excellent voice with a unique colour immediately astounded celebrities such as Prince, Alicia Keys, and Justine Vernon (Bon Iver). During the tour with Bon Iver, the American media called her the most remarkable voice since Adele. The concert of Lianne La Havas of the NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert is one of the five most watched in the history of this popular series (and Adele follows in the chart). Last summer, we saw her solo performance live on the main stage at Sziget and we are very pleased that her breathtaking voice will be heard also at the Trenčín Airport. → read more
