Celebrating its 30th anniversary in true style, Rock for People will run for an unprecedented five days, with an extra ‘Birthday Day’ on Sunday, 15 June.

Full 5-day tickets, which include access to the special Sunday event, are still available, while 4-day ticket holders can secure Sunday access at a discounted price.
The festival has experienced record-breaking demand, with 4-day tickets, Saturday tickets, and the premium VIP and Comfy+ category completely sold out. With the festival capacity now increased to 50,000, organisers have undertaken extensive preparations at Park 360 to enhance the festival experience, ensuring seamless infrastructure and a spectacular setting for fans travelling from across Europe, including a growing contingent from the UK.
Festival founder Michal Thomes said: “Rock for People’s domain is the widest musical selection across Czech festivals. Over 180 artists will perform on 10 different stages, including the world’s biggest stars as well as yet-to-be-discovered musical gems. The program is curated so that everyone finds something they like without getting bored even for a minute. This year we are also putting a major emphasis on the visual aspect of the festival grounds. We have a lot in store for fans and we can promise them a truly unforgettable experience”
Rock for People has built a reputation for its dynamically curated mix of modern rock, metal, indie, and punk, making it an essential destination for UK festival-goers looking for an international festival experience that blends an incredible line-up, top-tier production, and an inclusive atmosphere.
Beyond the music, the festival offers an extensive supporting programme, including thought-provoking discussions, theatre, dance, stand-up comedy, and film screenings. With its unique setting among repurposed ex-military airport bunkers, Park 360 transforms into a festival wonderland filled with immersive experiences, late-night parties, and a diverse selection of food and drink.
Rock for People has also reaffirmed its commitment to social causes, continuing its support for the Fuck Cancer charity. Festival-goers can contribute directly when purchasing tickets, with over CZK 100,000 already raised to support cancer patients. The total amount collected will be presented to the charity during the festival.
