"To sum up Pohoda without sounding melodramatic is tough. It is a festival full of the most pleasant little revelations, friendliest and open-minded people, eclectic and well structured at the same time. It’s got a lineup that is more diverse than the Lollapaloozas and Coachellas of the world put together." writes Gaurav Narula in the review for Rolling Stone India.

Festival of the Future Awards – new awards organized by the Festicket company nominated Pohoda among the best five festivals in a truly interesting category of “Accommodation”. A varied range of the accommodation options that we constantly expand caught the attention of the awards organizers. The Black&Fresh tents (in two and three-place versions), spacious five-place tents in Fox and Chill Village, original solutions in the form of wooden Huts Trenčín and Huts Inovec were gradually added to the classic Tent Inns. We also greatly expanded the space for caravans. We still provide tent camps for free as one of the few European festivals. → read more
It is difficult to define the original line-up of St. Petersburg Shortparis by the genre. Their music is somewhere between dark electro, post-punk or noise; in the live version, in addition, combined with performative-theatrical acts. Mary Anne Hobbs, the DJ of BBC 6 played at Ment after them and said that Shortparis totally blew her mind. John Doran of The Quietus says they are the band you still dream of meeting once, but it rarely happens. In the number of superlatives he says that they are ambitious, bombastic, incredibly spectacular, exciting... Gigwise or Louderthanwar journalists have also praised them highly and we believe they will soon impress the Slovaks. → read more

One of the most prominent figures of the Slovak hip-hop, Vec, will perform together with the band composed of Filip and Jakub Hittrich, Andrej Hruška and Roland Kánik at the Refinery Gallery. In 2016 he released the EP Domáce potreby for which he received the Radio_Head Awards in the Hip-hop / Rap / R'n'B category. He won over people because neither his music nor his lyrics are dominated by the ego, but by the idea and opinion – and all that with a dose of perspective. He has been entertaining people with great music for two decades, but he also responds to more serious topics in society. In 2016, for example, he performed at the Concert for the Attentive, in March he played at the Concert for Ján and Martina and recently he was in a refugee camp in South Sudan where the humanitarian organization Magna helps people. → read more
Jana Kirschner Komorne offers the selection of the two-decade work of our most successful singer in the beautiful arrangements of the Spectrum Quartett under the baton of Ján Kružliak. Patrik Marflák from Hudba.sk wrote in a review of this concert: "The goal is not to bring music and singing to the fans "as if from the CD" but to give them an authentic and unrepeatable experiences." These words were confirmed by Jana Kirschner at this year's Pohoda and we are sure that the fantastic performance is awaiting the attendees of the Concert for the Attentive. → read more
The legendary Pražský výběr will also perform at the Concert for the Attentive. The dissident past of the group formed around Michael Kocáb made them famous, however, they’ve collected the most distinct concert achievements in the recent years. In 2016 they played the biggest solo concert with the symphony in the sold out O2 Arena and they opened the Prague concert of the Rolling Stones in July this year. You can see them this Saturday in Refinery Gallery in Bratislava. → read more
