Belgian band Shht will play their first concert, after a long break caused by the pandemic, at the Trenčín airport. Music portal Dansende Beren wrote about them: “Shht are musically strong enough to be taken seriously, yet at the same time they are absurd enough to never get too serious.” They confirmed that with their phenomenal and, at the same time, uninhibited set prepared for the Pohoda in the Air festival. In just two weeks, these sound-nauts from the sonic ship called Shht will perform space rock for the new generation at Pohoda on the Ground. → read more

Pohoda on the Ground will host also the Grammy-nominated Amsterdam band Altın Gün. The band is famous for its catchy and optimistic combination of genres such as Anatolian rock and Turkish psychedelic folk. New Model Radio wrote “Turkish folk songs which were passed on from generation to generation mix with a blend of funk rhythms, wah-wah guitars and analogue organs.” We have been following the band since 2018, when they debuted with On and were among the hottest bands at Eurosonic. A year later, they released album Gece, for which they were nominated for a Grammy in the Best World Music Album category, and in February this year came out their third album Yol under the label Glitterbeat Records. The latter was praised by Pitchfork, The Wire, The Quietus, and Uncut even called it a “pleasure”. We are pleased to announce that Altın Gün will perform at Trenčín Airport in a few weeks... five times! → read more

Kin will not perform at Pohoda on the Ground for personal reasons of the band members. In their slot, we will see perform Ctib, one of the most active characters in the Wallachian music underground. He has been involved in many prominent bands such as Co-Ca, Telefon, VVB, Uštkni, as well as Chorobopop, and he will also perform with the latter at Pohoda on the Ground. The Cabinet of the Muses said that “Ctib is one of the best frontmen who are currently scudding across stages. The solo project of this master of the word, the king of sarcasm, and the duke of irony has recently undergone a significant transformation and has moved from a folk recital towards a dance punk electro performance with almost theatrical elements at times.” → read more

On Tuesday, June 22, at noon, we will sell another batch of tickets for Pohoda on the Ground.
