Following the previous four days of the festival, the spectacular two-hour set by one of the most influential and popular heavy metal legends will be complemented by an all-day program on all festival stages.

Among the newly announced names are world-renowned musicians Knocked Loose, who push the boundaries of hardcore far beyond all limits, earning them a Grammy nomination. An iconic performance will be given by British heavy metal pioneers Saxon, who have been on the scene since 1977 and whose singles have regularly topped the British music charts and hit parades across Europe, the US and Asia. After last year’s successful concert as part of the RFP Concerts brand, legendary Japanese rockers Man With A Mission (fans may remember them also from Rock for People 2023), will return to the stage. The line up will also be joined by one of the leaders of hard music – Canadian quintet Alexisonfire, with their unique sound combining elements of post-hardcore, screamo and punk.

Representatives of the Czech scene will also be present. Sunday’s program will be enriched by Reflections of Karma, an international quartet with a domestic reach, consisting of Travis O’Neill, Maťo Mišík, Tomáš Hajíček Jr. and Joshua Stewart. Drum and bass and world music will be provided by the Czech-American band N.O.H.A, which guarantees an energetic dance storm. Other announced Czech names include Cold Meat Party, The Atavists and Chrpy. The complete Czech and Slovak line up will be announced in the coming months.

The newly announced bands complement the already published Sunday’s line up, which in addition to Iron Maiden features Alter Bridge, Queensrÿche, God Is An Astronaut, Gridiron, The Lilacs, Vianova and Alice & Dan Bárta.

“For Iron Maiden and Rock for People fans, we have prepared a genre-themed day full of great bands. It’s not just about one star, but a dramaturgically thought-out day connecting metal legends with bands that are shaping the current hard music scene,” says festival director Luděk Motyčka.

The most loyal Iron Maiden fans can also look forward to a unique tasting of Iron Maiden Trooper beer and special Iron Maiden wine.

Tickets for the festival itself, as well as for the special day are still available to purchase at www.rockforpeople.cz/en/tickets. The organizers note that interest in tickets is at a record high, with over 80% of the total capacity already sold.
