Marmozets belong amongst the freshest and most interesting bands that can be heard in the current British scene. Their hardcore music artfully combines sharp riffs with catchy melodies and subtle rhythmic patterns, and is also full of energy and distinct internal chemistry. Their debut album from 2014, The Weird and Wonderful Marmozets, harvested rave reviews from critics and occupied top position in the UK Rock & Metal Album charts. Rumour has it that this year will see another new album.

Whilst made up of only singer and bassist Laurie Vincent and drummer and vocalist Isaac Holman, Slaves, put out enough noise for a whole orchestra. They have conquered a lot of listeners with their clear, distinct opinions and their music, which simply bursts with energy. Their 2015’s debut album, Are You Satisfied?, occupied 8th place in the UK Album Charts and received a nomination for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize. Their second album, Take Control, featuring Mike D of the Beastie Boys, was released a year later to great acclaim. The way in which Slaves rise up on stage, and the verve with which their uncompromising set of, mostly short, striking, songs crushes the audience is already legendary. Their performance at this year’s Rock for People will be an unforgettable experience for every fan of energetic and heartfelt music.

Alternative rockers Cage The Elephant have already 4 albums behind them, but it was their third album, Melophobia, from 2013, which rocketed them to new heights. Besides a Grammy nomination for Alternative Album of the Year, it earned them the undying love of fans around the world. Their fourth album, Tell Me I’m Pretty, released at the end of 2015 and produced by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, continued on the same path and once again earned them a Grammy nomination, this time in the category of Best Rock Album.

Cage the Elephant burst with unbridled energy on stage, and their concerts are always an extraordinary experience. They showed this last summer, when they rocked Lucerna Music Bar in Prague to the rafters. This summer, they plan to tour the US, but they will hop across the pond for a couple of gigs in Europe, one of those being in Hradec Kralove.
