The opening act of the legendary Rodriguezʼs concert next Sunday will be a talented composer, pianist, and singer Andrea Bučko, whose work is often likened to Tori Amos or Norah Jones. In 2012, she debuted with “In the middle of”, which was followed by the album “Polarity” (2015), and this spring, she released the album “Escape” that formed during her nearly two-year residence in Paris. She collaborated on this extraordinarily intimate recording with, for example, Iraqi painter and political refugee Mudi, and the album features also a duet with the singer of the famous Brazilian band Vanguart, Helio Flanders.   → read more

We launched a new shop with several innovations on our website. The big news is that we will sell e-tickets in Slovakia only through our website and we will close our cooperation with Ticketportal. The advantage of the new setting is the possibility to combine all items from the shop (printed tickets and e-tickets, parking, tent, merch, etc.) in one order. We are changing the admission for children. We are pleased with the growing number of kid visitors and appreciate the trust of parents; we are happy that Pohoda is also a place of meeting of various generations. However, it is important for Pohoda to remain comfortable for all, therefore since next yearʼs edition, we will include children over 6 years of age into the total capacity of the festival and will consequently introduce “children” tickets. Admission for children from 6 to 12 years of age will be €39 in pre-sale and €49 on the spot. Another novelty accommodating juniors will be “junior” tickets for visitors from 13 to 17 years of age: the price will be reduced, compared to adult tickets. Tickets for juniors will cost €79 before the festival (€99 on the spot). Tent spots in Family Park and Silent Camp are available for sale starting today, each for €10.   → read more

Next Friday, 31 August, is the final day for musicians to fill in the Eurosonic 2019 application form at the festivalʼs website: https://esns.nl/play-at-esns. The largest platform presenting new music in Europe will offer an exceptionally large room for artists from Slovakia and the Czech Republic also thanks to Pohoda. Both the countries will nominate eight names to perform in the Netherlands. They will have the chance to showcase their work to many festival visitors, but in particular, to 5,000 delegates from influential agencies, festivals, clubs, and the media. We know in person the people responsible for choosing from all participants, and we can guarantee that they will listen to songs of all the artists. At the same time, we want to encourage representatives of minority genres. Punk rockers, metal bands, classical and experimental music composers, and representatives of folk, jazz, world music, and many other genres have the same (or even bigger) chances than indie bands and dance music producers. → read more
