With the aftermovie we also launched a competition for tickets for Pohoda 2019. If you would like to join the competition, click on the link below:

Pohoda 2019 will feature also the British MC/rapper and the grime star, Skepta. He and his brother Jamie (Jme) founded collective and label Boy Better Know. They also collaborated on the latest album, Konnichiwa, for which he was awarded the Mercury Prize (leaving behind Radiohead and David Bowie), and Apple Music editors labelled it the album of the year 2016. In recent years he has collaborated with Dreake and Pharell Williams, and he also features on A$AP Rockyʼs hit “Praise the Lord (Da Shine)”. At the ranker portal, Skepta is on the top of The Best British Rappers of All Time and The Best Grime Artists charts. He will show the reason why to the visitors of Pohoda 2019 on Thursday night at the main stage.

Yesterday we announce Lola Marsh for Pohoda 2019. A musical love at first sound: that’s how we could describe the relationship between Pohoda, its visitors and the band from Israel, Lola Marsh. As an unknown band, they played our main stage during their Slovak premiere in 2014. The chemistry worked right away. A tour, several solo concerts as well as other gigs at Pohoda followed. A year ago, they played their biggest show in the Refinery Gallery with a special addition to their setlist: an unforgettable cover version of “Čerešne” that 1,500 deeply moved people sang along with Yael. Since their premiere, Lola Marsh played Slovakia every single year and, this time, it won’t be otherwise. On Thursday evening, they will open the program on Pohoda 2019’s main stage.

Which artist are you most excited at Pohoda 2019?

Also, we would like to let you know that our Pohoda Festival Bot was updated and is up to date now! You can use this interactive bot if you need any kind of information about the festival, artists, accommodation, transportation or tickets. Check the bot here viber://pa?chatURI=pohodafestivalbot 🙂

Hello friends! To have a slight peak into the behind scenes of the Pohoda 2019 preparation, we are starting our Office Interview Sessions. In these regular sessions we will introduce you to our Pohoda team members responsible for the organization of the festival.

Today we'll start with our charming colleague Lucka. Lucka is responsible for Pohoda merchandise, office & NGO's. She will tell us more about her work at Pohoda and also, about the Teacher's Day Offer which we have announced last week.

Lucka, can you describe in few sentences what does your work at Pohoda entail? What are the most common tasks you do?

Besides that, I am also behind the selection process of NGO´s at our NGO Passage at the festival.

I also try to look after smooth running of our office life in Svätý Jur, but lately we have come up with a cool system of changing "weekly duty" among the team members - every week there are two people who look after cleanliness at the office plus as a bonus, once a week they cook lunch for the whole team.

According to my previous work experience, I believe that Pohoda has more tangible social impact than anything I had worked on before. It´s not only one of the biggest cultural events in Slovakia, but it always reflects on the major issues within the society (such as concerts for Ján and Martina, events on November 17th etc.), that´s why it´s really easy for me to relate to what I do.

Last week Pohoda announced Teacher's Day Offer, and you are the one behind this process. Can you tell us more about this offer? Why Pohoda made this offer? For whom this offer is? And what needs to be done to get a discount?

We have already sold out twice 283 tickets via this offer, but there is a last chance for all the ITIC/ISIC/Euro26 card-holders to purchase such a ticket again - we will put in place extra 283 tickets for 89€ on March 28 at 10:00 am. This time, each teacher or a student can only buy 1 discounted ticket per person. All you have to do is insert the number of your ITIC/ISIC/Euro26 card when placing the order. Good luck for making it on time.

The Californian band Death Grips will play at Pohoda 2019! With their extremely vigorous mixture of experimental hip-hop, industrial noise electronics and punk rock, they earned recognition from music critics and fans all around the world and were marked as one of the most interesting bands of this decade. Regardless of your genre preferences, we recommend their show at Pohoda 2019.

Besides the announcement we have another great news for you! Pohoda is a part of a Viber Easter Campaign and this week we are getting ready for it by hiding our Pohoda Easter Egg in the Community. Look closely in the picture above and you might see how our egg looks like. To learn more about why you need to see the egg > go to the bot, link will be shared on 10th of April, and start the hunt!
