Besides the great British punk names Slaves and Sleaford Mods, we will also have Slovak cult punk-rock band Slobodná Európa. The authors of the hits such as “Podvod”, “Unavený a zničený”, and “Analýza dokázala hovno” have been amusing the audience for nearly three decades. A month ago, they released their vinyl debut “Pakáreň”. Currently they do not give many concerts, so we are very excited to have them play at the 21st edition of Pohoda. → read more

Pohoda will, after four years, host Swedish electro-swing-hip-hop band Movits! We will also have the increasingly popular hip-hop and R&B artist, Princess Nokia, from New York City. The line-up has grown by several Slovak names, such as Billy Barman, Katarzia, and Hudba z Marsu. Today, we are adding Para, Slobodná Európa, Saténové ruky, and many others. Pohoda will also feature new stages—the Ticketportal Stage for Slovak artists and a space for alternative electronic music called the Laug-Techno-Bau Klub. The speciality of Pohoda 2017 will include several unique projects. Bolo nás jedenásť and Pohoda 97 will grow by Pohoda 21. We are proud that three exceptional composers of contemporary music will compose each a new piece for Pohoda. This project will be first introduced at the 21st edition of the festival: each of the pieces should be 7 minutes long, which sums up to 21 minutes; two composers are from Slovakia and one from the Czech Republic, so the ratio is 2:1. It is a great honour to have works by Godár, Kofroň, and Burlas all premiered at the festival; the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra will be conducted by Marián Lejava. This combination promises an extraordinary experience.  → read more

Billy Barman released their rock 'n' roll debut, Noční jazdci, in 2010. Three years later, their follow-up album, Modrý jazyk, came out and could be characterized as indie-rock with electronic and folk elements. Observing the periodicity that was set up, they released the latest album Dýchajúce obrazy (2016), for which they received Radio_Head Award in the category of Album of the Year. They have slowed down, become more serious, but these changes haven’t put their youngest fan base off. Barmans, who are getting better and better, are going to play Pohoda 2017. → read more
