Pohoda included again in the selection of the best festivals in Europe
Pohoda appears again in the selections of the best events in Europe announced by several foreign media. The Daily Telegraph named the paragraph on our festival “Pohoda Party” and appreciated the friendly atmosphere, affordability, accessibility, as well as visual arts and debate alongside the music. Manchester Evening News and Sheerluxe.com have also reported on Pohoda in a similar manner. The Dutch Festileaks particularly praises an impressive collection of highly rated names.

Perhaps the most underrated line-up of the year: Pohoda 2020
Nothing more fun than comparing festival line-up, we think at Festileaks. Pohoda Festival in Slovakia catches our eye already repeatedly this year. At Pohoda there will be this summer a big collection of high rated names. And that’s impressive.
So although the poster of the Slovak festival may not be the biggest star at first glance, it is certainly special. Not only when you look at how the festival has grown, but also at the many authentic acts that are there. And a festival where even the artists have such a good time that they want to go there every year, can’t that only be a big party?
