Pohoda 2020 will also see the living legend of outsider music, The Space Lady. The Guardian mentions her album The Space Lady’s Greatest Hits in their selection of “The 101 Strangest Records on Spotify” and NME in their list of “101 Album to Hear Before You Die”. Our Graphic Design and curator, Tereza Maco, discovered The Space Lady for us and says the following about the booking: “The Space Lady should become a guilty pleasure of all terrestrial beings as she has long dominated the space mainstream with her passion and batterry-powered Casio.” → read more

FKA twigs appeared at the beginning of the decade with EP1, in the middle decade she released LP1 and ended the ten years with the famous second album Magdalene (both of her albums were recordings of the year according to magazines Time and Clash). FKA twigs quickly turned from a companion dancer to a modern art icon comparable to David Bowie in the 1970s, Kate Bush in the 1980s, and Björk in the 1990s. Her work combines classical music, electronic music, ballet, opera singing, and pooldance, and she works with the best directors, costume designers, and animators. The head of all this is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, professionally known as FKA twigs, who, according to Fullmoon editors, took care of perhaps the best performance of last year’s Primavera, if not of the whole year. In a few months she will enchant with her Magdalena also visitors to the Trencin airport.  → read more

Glass Animals were supposed to perform at our festival in 2018, however, they had to cancel the rest of the tour due to drummer Joe Seaward’s serious injury. After a three-year break, the popular British band recorded a new song Tokyo Drifting (with Danzel Curry) in autumn 2019, kindling hope in us as well. Shortly after the New Year, brilliant news arrived from the islands, so after announcing events such as Glastonbury, Coachella or Bonnaroo, the attenders of Pohoda 2020 will get a chance to see the great British band Glass Animals, too. → read more
