The Eurosonic Noorderslag 2021 festival starts today. At this time in past years, we were already travelling by bus to Groningen in the Netherlands; the facilities for the large Slovak team were the cabins on common ships. Due to the current situation, we will only go to see concerts in the virtual space, yet again there will be quite some things to discover. The largest European showcase and conference will bring more than 180 concerts and panels in its on-line version. The line-up is extremely varied, so we would like to ask you to send us suggestions on who to go to see. → read more

Recently, there have been several changes in the Pohoda team. Some time ago, we were joined by long-term collaborator Barbora Bodnárová, who is in charge of contracts with artists and hospitality, and a former part-time worker of many years and later an important member of the external team, Ondro Poláček, joined the production. A completely new member of our office staff is Gabriel Sebő, who is in charge of merch, marketing, and related activities. Tickets, merch and other orders are processed for you in Svätý Jur even these days by Natália Kaščáková. All of folks above show a huge passion at work and table football as well, and hopefully you will meet them very soon at concerts and other events by Pohoda ;) → read more
