Argentinian band La Fanfarria del Capitán has a clear mission: to travel the world and find limits in their music. The band plays a mix of Latin American rhythms, Ska and rock. Since 2005, they have released five albums and have played a hundred concert a year on average. The quantity is detracting nothing from the quality and extreme zeal that crown each performance, though. This is something visitors at the Czech festival Mighty Sounds as well as Slovak Drienok had a chance to experience. As the band says: “La Fanfarria del Capitán is not a music band but a lifestyle.” With their temperament, they will mesmerize visitors at Pohoda 2018 as well. → read more

Music of Košice-based band Kolowrat has earned them titles such as “guitar melancholics” or “spokesmen of urban poetics”. The band debuted with album Vrany sa vracajú in 2006. For their follow-up album Slnko je vo veži, they received three 2009 Radio Head_Awards nominations (Album of the Year – listeners’ choice as well as critics’ choice and Single of the Year for their song “Ja a slečna Ts”.) In October 2013, Kolowrat released their latest album Pobiť sa/utiecť. Toward the end of 2015, they went on a hiatus, which was interrupted by a few unplugged sessions in fall last year. We are glad that they decided to break the silence at Pohoda 2018, where they will be playing the only show they have planned for this year. They will play symbolically in Café Kušnierik, because Juraj Kušnierik, special slovak journalist who is still deeply missed, liked them. → read more

Blues band ZVA 12-28 BAND is rooted in the tradition of artists such as Little Walter, Howlin' Wolf or Willie Dixon.

In the last three years, they made it to the top of Bluesmusic portal poll in the category of the “Most Favorite Band” and last year they won the categories of “Singer of the Year” and “Instrumentalist of the Year”.  → read more

Pohoda will also see a Prešov-based trio Vojdi (Marek Buranovský, Tomáš Bateško, Samuel Bilý) with guest Lukáš Valkučák. The band can be characterized by indented compositions with frequent changes of motives and unconventional rhythms. With ironic approach and staying on top of things, they remind us of the local legends Chiki liki tu-a, but sound-wise, they are influenced mainly by the French new wave of eclectic bands such as Aquaserge and Moodoid. Trenčín airfield will soon resound with top-class Prešov math-progressive-indie-shoegaze played by Vojdi. → read more

Pohoda starts in less than 11 weeks, but we are looking forward to seeing you at Jakubák in Bratislava TOMORROW ALREADY. We will participate in a discussion to talk (not only) about waste sorting and other environmental topics at festivals. Apart from that, we have adopted a recycle station to show you how to sort waste the right way. Students from the Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences of the Comenius University will join us to recruit volunteers – “FSESort-helpers” for waste collection points at this year’s festival. → read more

Few projects manage to merge as many genres and artistic forms as GusGus. In the second half of the 90s, they showed that Icelandic scene is far from being about Björk only. Several successful artists (e.g. Emiliana Torrini) kicked off their career in this band. During two decades, they recorded ten albums to critical acclaim, including the latest two Mexico and Lies Are More Flexible. Biggi Veira described their philosophy in last year’s interview for Wave Radio: “I love when the music gives me goose bumps.” We believe that their concert at Pohoda 2018 will have the same effect on our visitors. → read more
