DiS preview: Pohoda 2017
„As we slide into the long hot days of summer, festival season is in full swing. But it’s not just fields in Britain that fill with the sound of music and revellery; mainland Europe now has a good number of events that rival anything that the UK produces, including (whisper it) Glastonbury. Lineups are just as star-studded and interesting, the weather is better, the food options are out of this world, and there are far less Lads On Tour boorishness and drunken buffoonery to put up with. Add in cheap flights and prices that represent far better value for money than anything you’re likely to find in a field in Hampshire, and it’s a wonder more people don’t jet off and leave the mud and warm, flat beer behind.“

„Pohoda Festival was one of our great 2016 discoveries; superbly organized with a diverse and eclectic range of bands, it was a joyous, fun-filled three days in the Slovakian sunshine. This year the lineup looks even better, an elegant mix of the acclaimed, the popular, and the forward thinking, but it’s not just the headliners who stand out. Part of the delight of Pohoda is the platform they give to lesser-known artists and some clever scheduling to ensure they’re not up against the stars. So while we’re beyond excited to see M.I.A, Solange, Slowdive, and The Jesus And Mary Chain, these are the acts from the rest of the bill that we’d recommend checking out.“ More here: http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4151152-pohoda-2017--the-dis-preview
