Heartbeat was the first band asked to play Pohoda 2018. They convinced us of their musical qualities during the preparation of Pohoda 2017, and a month ago they confirmed this by playing a great performance at EUropa stage. In addition, they added an acoustic version of the song "Kráčal som dolinami " - "I walked through the valleys" on our terrace. → read more
Eurosonic is the largest European launch pad for new bands. It was here where the careers of names such as Aurora, Dua Lipa, Hozier, Mø, and Royal Blood started. The next edition will offer a huge chance especially for Slovak and Czech artists, as the biggest showcase festival of the Old Continent will focus on music from our countries also thanks to Pohoda. The opportunity will be given to eight bands from each country, and our artists will be able to gain one more slot thanks to RTVS (Slovak Radio and TV) (as a member of the European Broadcasting Union, they can recommend one name). Artist registration was launched on 1st May and will end on 1st September; the form is available at the festival website: (https://esns.nl/play-at-esns). So, there is one month left to sign up! → read more

This year, reputable British newspapers such as The Telegraph, The Guardian, Evening Standard and Metro have included Pohoda in the selection of the best festivals. Excited about that, our office were discussing also which newspaper in the list of renowned British media was still missing and we surely talked about The Independent. It was this daily that published the solo review of the Pohoda festival by the music journalist Derek Robertson at the end of last week, titled: “Jubilant three days where the feel-good vibes are reflected by a stellar, diverse lineup”, with subheading “Guests are treated like family, and there is truly something for everyone”. At the same time, our festival received a five-star rating out of five. Below is the link to this fantastic review. Thank you, Derek and The Independent. www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/pohoda-festival-review-2018-lineup-st-vincent-chemical-brothers-a8456391.html → read more
