Together with three other festivals, Pohoda Festival is a part of the Green Europe Experience (GEX) project. Our festivals are known for supporting creativity. What we also need to take into account when implementing our ideas is the limited availability of resources our planet has to offer. We will be working on this project for three years. During this time, we will create, test and assess new environmental approaches with focus on sustainable festival food and scenography.  → read more

She said the following about the band: "Paupière was a pleasant surprise for me in a tiny club somewhere on one of Seoul's busy streets.

Another addition to the Pohoda 2021 line-up is the Czech actor, singer and songwriter Tomáš Klus. From a junior European champion in modern pentathlon, he quickly turned into one of the most prominent figures in Czech popular music, as evidenced by hundreds of thousands of followers, millions of hearings and views of his songs, and awards such as Český slavík, Anděl, and Žebřík. Tomáš continues the Czech song writing tradition, while fans are especially attracted by catchy melodies and lyrics, in which he does sometimes comments on the state of society, e.g. in the songs “ZmrZlým”, “Pánu bohu do oken”, “JdeVoZem” or “Chátrám”. He dedicated the latter to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution, and subsequently went on a tour around schools entitled “Memory of Songs”. Last year, he also called for a boycott of the Czech Prime Minister and the media he owned, and he also spoke out against him at A Million Moments for Democracy demonstrations. → read more
