Thank you to everyone who helped mitigate the effects of the extreme weather at Pohoda

The Pohoda Festival site has been evacuated and the last three cars in the car park are waiting for their drivers. We thank our visitors for the smooth evacuation, solidarity and support. We would like to thank the rescue teams – paramedics, meteorologists, police, municipal police, Fire and Rescue Corps, volunteer fire brigade from Opatovce and Selec, Ares security, our stewards, volunteers, members of the wider organisational team including parking attendants, wristband distributors, builders, cleaners, stage managers, helpers and bartenders. We would also like to thank the city of Trenčín and its inhabitants who offered their help to the festival visitors, as well as the people of Opatovce and Veľké Bierovce.

We would like to thank SAD Trenčín, Slovak Lines, Railways of the Slovak Republic, and Slovenská sporiteľňa for organising special transport during the evacuation. We would also like to thank all our suppliers, partners, artists, non-profit organisations and catering teams for their understanding and various forms of assistance in dealing with the situation.

Thank you for all the messages of support from those who attend the festival, but also from many who have never been.

Due to the immense effort, dedication and support, the impact of Friday's extreme storm has been minimised.

Our thoughts are with all those injured and we wish them a speedy recovery. Our thoughts are also with all those who have been affected in any way. For those travelling home, we wish you a safe return. We miss you all greatly, but you have left behind a sense of hope.

We are now focusing on the aftermath of the event and will be staying at Trenčín Airport for many days to pack up the prematurely ended Pohoda 2024. We will keep you updated on the next steps and the overall future of our festival. For now, we send a huge THANK YOU to all of you.
