As the days get longer and temperatures rise, music lovers have plenty to look forward to this summer in Czechia. Kicking things off tomorrow, June 11, is Rock for People, featuring powerhouse headliners like Slipknot and Linkin Park.
While most ticket bundles have already sold out, there’s still a chance to grab single-day passes—perfect if you want to catch Guns N’ Roses and 15 other acts.
Later in June, Metronome Prague brings Canadian-American icon Alanis Morissette to the stage, with tickets still available. And if you’re up for a multi-day celebration, Colours of Ostrava is not to be missed—this year’s lineup includes Sting, Iggy Pop, Snow Patrol, and Shaggy, with passes still up for grabs.
Similar to previous years of late, Czechia's major music festivals will bring with them an innovative twist: think cashless payments, creative, family-friendly workshops, and even on-site supermarkets like Tesco. Here's a round-up of what to expect this summer: when, where, who's playing, and how much it'll cost.
