After this year’s triumphant edition, Rock for People is once again proving its strength, bringing in the biggest stars in the world. Celebrating 50 years on stage, one of the greatest musical legends of all time, Iron Maiden, will headline the festival’s 31st edition on Sunday, June 14th, as part of a special extra day.

“After an incredibly successful 30th anniversary celebration headlined by Linkin Park, I had a feeling that it wouldn’t be easy to maintain the same line up level for next year. But I can already confirm with a clear conscience that next year will be fabulous again! Rock for People 2026 will once again be marked by the fulfillment of some of my dreams, led by Iron Maiden, whose music has shaped several generations, including me,” says Rock for People founder Michal Thomes.

The second announced headliner is the popular british band Bring Me The Horizon, which represents the best that the current hard music scene has to offer for younger audiences. Visitors can also look forward to rock/metal giants Papa Roach and The Pretty Reckless with their distinctive rock frontwoman Taylor Momsen, German metalcore star Electric Callboy or the legendary Megadeth among many others. The first announced Czech artist to perform at Rock for People in 2026 is the band Wohnout. But this is only the beginning. Every year, over 200 artists perform at the festival, among whom every visitor will find something to their liking.

Other confirmed are:
ALTER BRIDGE * BILMURI * BLOOD INCANTATION * BREAKING BENJAMIN * DON BROCO * LOTTERY WINNERS * MAGNOLIA PARK * MALEVOLENCE * MAMMOTH * MELROSE AVENUE * PRESIDENT * SOCIAL DISTORTION * STATIC-X * THROWN * VIANOVA * YONAKA * ZERO 9:36

Originally scheduled to take place from June 11th to 13th, Rock for People 2026 extends to 5 packed days – June 10th – 14th (Wednesday – Sunday). Holders of festival-passes will have their tickets automatically extended to 4 days for June 10th – 13th, with the possibility of buying the extra ticket, for added fifth day, as an upgrade at a discounted price of 1000,- CZK (until October 31st).
