Band Varkocs was formed in 2018 as a special project around Erik Turtev, a virtuoso mouth harp player. Since their formation, the band have excelled in their unconventional approach and “rowdy folk” style. They play old pagan Slavic and Hungarian acoustic folk instruments and their aim is to collect songs for mouth harp, as they are translated in various ethnic groups living in Slovakia. Their repertoire is based on the songs that the members learned from old folks in villages and found in archives. → read more

For the fifth year in a row, band Veľká Potreba has been relentlessly pushing forward its intention to vent the frustration of the corporate stereotype and the fulfillment of everyday needs; the band also does not shy away from the topics of relationships and emotions. Their last year's debut “V rohu” was well received by fans of gerontopunk protestsongs; in the meantime, the members of Veľká Potreba have managed to prepare material for a new album, which they are looking to release this autumn and parts of which will be played also for visitors of Pohoda on the Ground. → read more

I Am Planet is the project of Slovak composer Patrik Korinok. He combines contemporary classical music with elements of minimalism and motifs strongly inspired by nature. His debut Silene Stenophylla was ranked among the best albums of 2014 on Beehy.pe and Arcticdrones. Pravda introduced On The Way To Antarctica (2016) with the headline: This is what pretty music sounds like. Two years later, he released Natura Resonat on Deadred Records. As musicserver.cz writes: “It is an intense confession about the state of nature, its echoes in us and its fluttering moods.” On his latest record, Záznamy ticha, he turns for the first time to the inner man, to the problem of information smog, to the natural need for silence in the contemporary context after years of searching for archetypes in nature or experimenting with sacred sound. He uses silence as a full part of the composition on the recording, as well as during the concert version.   → read more

They are young, they study music composition and they like contemporary classical music, jazz, and artpop. God and Eve consists of Eva Sajanová and Richard Grimm (Max Bazowski, Raptor Koch, Boh Vajec). Eva composes music, writes lyrics, and records the first versions of songs; Richard arranges/produces the songs and together they bring them to their final form. Their debut EP called The Creation was released in February 2021 under the label of Slnko Records. They have received praise from Kevin Cole of the American radio station KEXP and Štepán Pařízek of Alterecho, while the latter wrote about the EP: “The playfulness and individuality, which are the wings of this band, freely take them to being admired, and I recommend hanging on their feathers and getting carried away with them.” At Pohoda on the Ground, they will premiere in a full concert line-up, when the duo will be joined by Jakub Kačic on bass guitar, Marek Buranovský on guitar, and Tomáš Hríbik on drums. → read more

“We don’t usually repeat big names at Pohoda. Already during the concert at Pohoda 2013, I knew that this was not the case with Nick Cave. Such an exceptional artist with such an exceptional concert calls for an exceptional approach. Everyone who was there knows why—it was clearly one of the most powerful moments in the history of Pohoda. I am proud and happy that we will be able to repeat it,” says Michal Kaščák about the return of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds to Trenčín Airport in 2022. → read more
