Koncert mladosti (literally "Concert of Youth") was Czechoslovak music festival, only two editions of which were held in 1976 and 1977 at the amphitheater in Pezinok, Slovakia. The main organizers of the events were Pavol Boriš and Ladislav Snopko, and the festival was the first open-air festival in Czechoslovak Socialist Republic ever. The music columnist Lubomír Dorůžka called him "Czechoslovak Woodstock" (Slovak: československý Woodstock). The idea to organize the Koncert mladosti festival originated in March 1976 at the Atlas klub. After a concert, Ladislav "Agnes" Snopko and Paľo Boriš, while drinking wine in the club's kitchen, talked about the idea of organizing a larger event at the Amphitheater Pezinok. After positive feedback from others, Boriš and Snopko set about preparing the festival. Koncerty mladosti were an unprecedented cultural event, where top Czech-Slovak representatives of folk, rock and jazz performed – among other folk singers and Vladimír Merta, Petr Lutka, Vlasta Třešňák, Vladimír Veit, Pepa Nos, Miloš Janoušek, Dagmar Andrtová and Zuzana Homolová, folk-rock band Marsyas, rock Collegium musicum, Jaro Filip, Vladimir Mišík's band Etc...
