Thanks to Petr Marek’s dance moves and the fact that he “likes cooking”, Midi Lidi are extremely popular in our office. Each year, our female colleagues from the agency give an ultimatum to us saying they will not go to the airport without Midi Lidi. Together with the rest of the agency, they appreciate the art of staying on top of things this five-member trio show in their music. This affection is obviously mutual: As Prokop Holoubek told magazine Frontman: “To spend an entire weekend at the festival is not something I usually do. In fact, there are only two exceptions where I’m willing to do this. The first one is Beseda u Bigbítu and the second one is Pohoda in Trenčín. When we play there or I take care of one of my bands there, I like to stay there for the whole event. I think that these two festivals are also among the few where I would go as a visitor.” Our visitors will get to see Midi Lidi again in six weeks at Pohoda 2018.     → read more

The band Noisecut conquered the first editions of Radio Head_Awards. After their last concert in 2012, the members of the band considered the existence of Noisecut a closed thing and no one was thinking about a possible reunion. This changed when Rádio_FM asked them to perform at the 10th anniversary of the Radio Head_Awards. The reaction was immediate—why not? If Nora Ibsenová would sing? Since Nora agreed, the performance at the award ceremony became a reality. Shortly after, the band was approached by Michal Kaščák who explored whether they would play at this yearʼs Pohoda. They agreed! The crew will be Losos, Japonec, and M, featuring also singer Nora Ibsenová (Fallgrapp), keyboardist Jakub Tvrdík (Billy Barman), and drummer and percussionist Roman Lauko (Bad Karma Boy). They will play songs that have never been played live, as well as new versions of older songs. → read more
