Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds to play Pohoda Festival
He’ll be performing at next year’s festival.
Taking place at Trencin Airport, Slovakia, from 7th - 9th July 2022, Pohoda Festival has announced that Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds will be performing at next year’s edition.
“We don’t usually repeat big names at Pohoda,” Pohoda’s Michal Kaščák says. “Already during the concert at Pohoda 2013, I knew that this was not the case with Nick Cave. Such an exceptional artist with such an exceptional concert calls for an exceptional approach. Everyone who was there knows why—it was clearly one of the most powerful moments in the history of Pohoda. I am proud and happy that we will be able to repeat it.”
This year, black midi, Black Country, New Road, Dry Cleaning and more will be playing Pohoda Festival on The Ground, a 1000-capacity series with a focus on Slovak music club stages. “With the capacity that is comparable to its beginnings and emphasis on the club scene, Pohoda is returning to the ground,” Michal adds. “Clubs are essential for music, creating a year-round background for musicians and local communities. We enjoy creating a different form of Pohoda and playing with space and programme; especially we are very much looking forward to meeting visitors soon at the Trenčín Airport.”
