Pohoda

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pohoda (German for "well-being" or "comfort") is a music festival in Slovakia . It has taken place every summer in Trenčín at Trenčín Airport since 1997 and has become the most important music festival in Slovakia.

In terms of the number of visitors so far, the festival falls into the category ´Medium-sized festivals´. Still, the mood is relaxed and overwhelming at the same time. The event relies less on big and world-famous bands than on a balanced mix of art and entertainment. A handful of big names can be found in the wide-ranging line-up. It is therefore not surprising that, among other things, various plays can be found there.

Pohoda does not prefer a particular style. Every style of music can be found there, from classic rock to techno , ska and reggae to heavy metal . That's why the music program needs nine different stages.

Well-known bands that were represented at the festival include:

The Prodigy , Garbage , Stereo MCs , Cardigans , Moloko , Cesária Évora , Fun Lovin 'Criminals , Bomfunk MC’s , Mando Diao , The Hives , Wu-Tang Clan and DJ Shadow .

In 2014 the Pohoda Festival was among the final top 5 nominations for the Arthur Awards, alongside the Latitude, Primavera Sound, Tomorrowland and Rock Werchter festivals. The Pohoda Festival was also nominated for the European Festival Awards (EFA) 2015.
