Rodriguez in Bratislava and Pohoda in clubs with Donny Benét
Exceptional concerts of Pohoda 2018 will repeat this autumn Some concerts are so good that you want to repeat them as soon as you can. In the case of Donny Benét, we did so the next day after his Friday premiere at Pohoda 2018. Rodriguez performed on Saturday, so there was no time left for his second concert. Despite that, he performed for us on Sunday afternoon in the Artist Village on the festival grounds, where he returned from his journey to the Vienna airport.In the course of conversation, he mentioned his two almost-sold-out shows in the Royal Albert Hall as well as the fact that he would like to return to Slovakia very soon. Many artists say they would be glad to come back; Sixtoʼs team worked with us from the very first days after Pohoda. As a result, there will be just one concert added to those in one of the most prestigious music halls in the world—you can see this fantastic songwriter, who has lived an incredible musical and life story, in the Old Marketplace in Bratislava on 30th September. You will enjoy the intimate atmosphere of his songs the way he composed them, as this will be an exceptional solo performance. After the Australian tour, also the man responsible for the extraordinarily good renaissance of the 80s disco, Donny Benét, will retur to Slovakia. He will make dance the audience in Brno, Bratislava, Zvolen, Banská Bystrica, and Košice in early November.

The story of Sixto Rodriguez can be boldly called one of the most powerful in the history of music. His songs were copied by millions, they inspired anti-apartheid warriors, and legends were being told about him, while he was working at construction sites back home. One of the best songwriters from the end of the hippie era has finally earned the merited recognition thanks to the Oscar documentary “Searching for Sugar Man”. His history with Pohoda was powerful, too. It took us six years to finally drag him to our festival, and once here, he did not want to leave. He eventually became the last foreign artist to leave the festival grounds. In the course of conversation, he mentioned his two almost-sold-out shows in the Royal Albert Hall as well as the fact that he would like to return to Slovakia very soon. Many artists say they would be glad to come back; Sixtoʼs team worked with us from the very first days after Pohoda. As a result, there will be just one concert added to those in one of the most prestigious music halls in the world—you can see this fantastic songwriter, who has lived an incredible musical and life story, in the Old Marketplace in Bratislava on 30th September.

The discovery of Pohoda 2018, Donny Benét is returning to Slovakia. Before the 22nd edition of our festival, only a few fans of the current lo-fi disco scene heard about this phenomenal Australian showman and musician. After the festival, Pohodans started his official Slovak fanclub and he also received (similarly to The Chemical Brothers) a praising solo review at the Aktuality.sk portal. It said that this time machine produced a romantic return to the 80s and a show that will be remembered for a long time and, mainly, with a smile on the face. Thanks to the autumn Pohoda in clubs, you can do more than just remember: right after his Australian tour, this bon vivant will fly to Europe again in November and will perform in Brno, Bratislava, Zvolen, Banská Bystrica and Košice on 6—10th November 2018.
