The captivating music of the band Zrní stems from the improvisation of musicians who enjoy constant exploration of new possibilities. Five lovers of folk music born in this electronic age (slowly but surely) made it from the streets of Kladno and Prague among the elite of Czech music. In their music, however, there is no sign of elitism, just constant curiosity and joy of playing. After their excellent concert at Pohoda in 2013, they are coming to the 20th edition of our festival with a musical company of 40 members of the Janáček Philharmonic.   → read more

Dear children and dear parents. Do you miss pogoing together? Do you want to see various groups from all over the world and magician...?

Midi Lidi are slowly but surely becoming a traditional Pohoda band. It is due to the exceptional dance expression of Petr Marek and the fact that he “likes to cook”. The female colleagues from the agency present the same ultimatum each year: they would not depart for the airport without Midi Lidi. They and the rest of the agency value the detachment in the work of this five-member trio and the abundant curls of Prokop Holoubek. Agency people aimed to extend Tomino Kelarʼs stay at Pohoda so they unambiguously asked him to hold the post of stage manager of the Visegrad stage. We will also examine the veracity of their lyrics at the festival – we strongly believe that Koller will not be slayed by cholera and Prodigy “will come with their parents”.  → read more
