Pohoda 2019 will also host the Bratislava reggae favourites Medial Banana. They already performed at Pohoda in 2015 and 2018, and the recording of their first concert is the second most viewed video we've ever added to our YouTube channel. Reggaeville.com, the most respected reggae website, ranked their collaboration album Inna Jamdown shot in Jamaica in the selection of the best albums of 2016. Their success lies on the basic pillars of the band, which, according to their own words, are tolerance, chill, love for nature, sun and comfort. Our most popular reggae band was formed ten years ago and we’re happy they’ll come to celebrate with us at the Trenčín Airport, too. → read more

In addition, up to a half of AfBʼs employees is made up of people with disabilities. → read more
Pohoda will also feature an experimental rap by the Czech band P/\ST, who will come to join us from the Startér chart in cooperation with Radio Wave. The band released their debut /Expedice do vnitrobloku/ just last Friday. When they performed in the Prague café V lese at the Starter Showcase at the beginning of May, Jonáš Zbořil wrote about them: “The rapper duo P/\ST delivered by far the best show on stage yesterday. Dan and Ivo are friends from the Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre at the Theatre Faculty in Prague. P/\ST have just played their third concert, but they’re gaining on their brothers quite nicely. The music is a combination Dan Kranich's machine-gun flow and the dark beats that sometimes move P/\ST almost somewhere to grime. ” → read more
