We Are Leaving the Airport – With Gratitude and Hope
This evening at eight o'clock, we handed over the airport where we spent the last twenty-five days. During this time, we experienced beautiful moments during the construction, creating a strong backstage community that prepared our festival. We had a wonderful opening day, as the airport came alive with music and joy, followed by an excellent Friday filled with amazing concerts and a beautiful festival atmosphere, though our gathering came to an early end that evening. The safety of everyone at Pohoda is our priority, so we believe ending the festival on Friday was the right decision, and we stand by it.

As we packed up, the strength of the festival community became evident once again. Everyone gave their best, and the goodbyes were often emotional. We missed the usual feedback we receive after smooth-running editions, but we received another, equally powerful kind in the form of solidarity, support, and encouragement. We are grateful for the way our visitors handled the Friday storm, and we know of many powerful stories where the Pohoda community showed its resilience. We are proud of the rescuers, security personnel, inspection team members, firefighters, and all other units involved in managing the situation. We especially appreciate the dedication of our part-time workers, volunteers, and the extensive Pohoda team. We also thank Trenčín Airport for their excellent cooperation, which reinforces our belief that Trenčín Airport is the best festival venue in the world.
We will soon inform you about the next steps following the packing up of Pohoda 2024. It is easier for us to leave thanks to the unwavering support from those who attended Pohoda, as well as from many who have never visited it. We value every form of help and support, from concerts and fundraisers to encouraging words. Thanks to this, we leave with a strong sense of hope. Thank you.
