Kae Tempest na Pohoda Festival 2026 👀🤟‼️
🌈 Kae Tempest: hlas pravdy, ktorý spája osobné s kolektívnym, zaznie na Pohode 2026 🌈
Na 30. ročníku festivalu Pohoda privítame Kae Tempest – umelca, ktorého tvorba dlhodobo hľadá pravdu v osobnej skúsenosti a premieňa ju na silné kolektívne prežívanie. Hudobník, básnik a performer, pohybujúci sa na prieniku spoken wordu, hip-hopu a poézie, prinesie na Pohodu koncert, ktorý nie je len vystúpením, ale stretnutím.
Na trenčianskom letisku zaznejú skladby z piateho štúdiového albumu Self Titled, ktorý vznikol nečakane – z pôvodne úplne iného projektu. Zlom nastal po stretnutí s producentom Fraserom T Smithom (Adele, Stormzy, Dave), keď spontánne štúdiové sessions otvorili Kae novú cestu. V jadre je album listom mladšiemu ja a dialógom medzi minulosťou, prítomnosťou a budúcnosťou. Prechádza témami odporu, pochybností a nádeje, dotýka sa lásky, prijatia, identity, zraniteľnosti aj oslobodenia.
Kae Tempest vyrástol v londýnskom Lewishame a s tvorbou začal už ako tínedžer – vystupovaním na open micoch, raveoch, v squatoch či na malých festivaloch. Odvtedy prešiel výnimočnou cestou naprieč hudbou, literatúrou a divadlom. Spolupracoval s producentom Rickom Rubinom a ako jediný umelec v histórii dokázal v jednom roku napísať divadelnú hru pre National Theatre v Londýne a o rok neskôr vystúpiť na festivale Glastonbury.
Na Pohode 2026 sa na tento hlas, jeho silu, krehkosť aj pravdivosť veľmi tešíme.

🇬🇧 Kae Tempest: a voice of truth connecting the personal with the collective, coming to Pohoda 2026 🌈
At the 30th edition of Pohoda Festival we are proud to welcome Kae Tempest — an artist whose work persistently searches for truth in personal experience and transforms it into a powerful collective encounter. A musician, poet, and performer operating at the intersection of spoken word, hip hop, and poetry, Kae Tempest will bring to Pohoda a concert that is not merely a performance, but a meeting.
At Pohoda, audiences will hear songs from Kae Tempest’s fifth studio album, Self Titled, a record that wasn’t meant to be the album you’re listening to right now. Kae had originally written an entirely different project, but something about it didn’t align with the moment. The turning point came after a visit to the studio of producer Fraser T Smith (Adele, Stormzy, Dave), when a spontaneous run of studio sessions opened up an entirely new direction.
Raised in Lewisham, London, Kae Tempest began his creative journey as a teenager, performing at open mic nights, raves, squat parties, and small festivals. Since then, his career has unfolded across music, literature, and theatre. He has worked with producer Rick Rubin, and to date remains the only artist to have opened a play at London’s National Theatre one summer and played Glastonbury Festival the next.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming this voice — in all its strength, fragility, and truth — to Pohoda 2026.
