One of the most outstanding artists of the present day, St. Vincent, will perform at Pohoda 2018. She won the Grammy Award for her album St. Vincent, NME and The Guardian described it as the best recording of 2014. In October, she recorded her fifth album Masseduction and the media are generous with superlatives again: “MASSEDUCTION is nothing less than an absolute success” (musicOMH). “With her fourth record St. Vincent, she stepped up her pink staircase to a whole new realm as a once in a generation artist”. (DIY) She is going to pay a visit to her fans during the summer tour next year, which will show her impressive amount of talent and eccentric guitar solos also in Trenčín.  → read more

The 4th edition of the Doma Dobre concert will be classical, beautiful, energy packed, and spirited! Great musicians will take care of this: the Moyzes Quartet, Sendreiovci & Kokavakere Lavutara, and Para. In co-operation with the Nota Bene magazine, we will present the book Starec a dieťa (translated as “the Old Man and the Child”) by Daniel Pastirčák. Fero Guldán will work on a painting on the spot and one of the concert visitors will take the artwork home. On Sunday, 10th of December, the low-threshold dormitory of St. Vincent de Paul will also host debates on issues related to homelessness. The entrance to the concert is, as usual, free of charge. However, you can donate to help the homeless.  https://www.facebook.com/events/1626496300722010/ → read more

Lola Marsh is the only foreign band to perform at Pohoda three times in a row. Each time they managed to attract huge crowds under the biggest stages. The registrations for free entry for their concert at Pohoda Deň FM were gone in bare two hundred seconds! Also the tickets for their concert in the A4 club virtually disappeared and the concert was sold out three months before the event. Similarly, their show in the Tabačka club was sold out in advance. Since their premiere at Pohoda in 2014, they have performed in Slovakia every year, and 2018 will not be an exception. In three months, on the 14th of February, we will welcome them again—this time they will appear at the Refinery Gallery in Bratislava. → read more

ABOP is an acronym for the Croatian proverb “After party is better than the party”. This prominent Croatian electronic band loves dance music, but every beat is hand-made. Instead of patterns, two drummers, precise as a watch, beat the drums sitting opposite each other. The band is further composed of a bass guitar player, sound engineer, and two keyboard players, all of whom are also known from other top Yugoslav bands.  → read more
