Topfest

If Pohoda was founded on the foundation of rock (as well as punk and metal music), it would be known as Topfest. The atmosphere is a little different – let's say it's a little more rock and metal, with all the characteristics associated with these genres. The lineup features many well-known names from the Slovak and international rock and metal scenes. As a result, Topfest Festival is a metal and rock music festival held in Zelená Voda, Slovakia, near Nové Mesto nad Váhom.

The biggest cheers are reserved for the heavy metal and rock acts who entertain the energetic Slovakian masses at this open-minded festival in nature that champions artists from all over Europe. Over the years, the Topfest stage has been graced by a heady mix of contemporary big guns such as Thirty Seconds To Mars and Rag 'n' Bone Man, as well as global rock royalty such as Iron Maiden and Guns 'n' Roses. Topfest, now in its 15th year, continues to live up to its reputation as Slovakia's premier rock festival.
