Pohoda festival 2016

[muflon]

Hi, I would like to open a thread for Pohoda festival 2016. It's the most popular open-air multicultural event in Slovakia. Which will be held for the 20th time from Thursday 7 July to Saturday 9 July 2016.

Beside concerts there are many many attractions and whole airport area is beautifully decorated with art, flags, pianos, sunflowers etc. Only small number of foreigners attend this festival, but don't be scared all the announcements and information are provided in English too and most of the festival attendants speak English.Festival is really cheap if you compare it to Western festivals or even festivals in Poland or Austria. You only have to pay the ticket price, camping, showers and other facilities are free. Beer costs around 1.3€ and a meal 3€-5€ Festival area runs all the time from Thursday afternoon until Sunday morning so there is enough time to discover all the attractions. Festival is family friendly and there are many people with their children on site.

 

Current ticket price is 89$ with the camping included. Tickets and accommodation can be bought at http://www.pohodafestival.sk/en/shop/shop-category.html
Capacity of the festival is 30 000 people and it will be definitely sold out soon because of the aniversary.

There will also be an option to buy pre-set tent, cottage or hotel room later.

The closest airports to Pohoda are in Bratislava or Vienna then you’ll take train or bus to Trencin or Brno airport in Czech republic and then bus to Trencin.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to post in this thread. I’m just a fan of this festival and I would like if more people invite Pohoda and feel the great atmosphere of this festival.

my kid, already a Glastonbury veteran aged 6, went with his mum to see RHCP in Hyde Park, with James Brown and Chicks on Speed as support.

"How were the bands, son?"

"First on were Chicks on Speed. They were rubbish"
