International headliners return and debut
LP, known for her powerful vocals and devoted Czech following, will perform both her classics and new material. “There are few artists with whom festivals have such close relationships. We’re thrilled to welcome LP back after nearly a decade since her first Prague concert and festival appearance,” said festival artistic director Filip Košťálek.
The Libertines are expected to play tracks from their comeback album All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade, and frontman Peter Doherty suggested fans might hear entirely new songs. Meanwhile, Twenty One Pilots return after four years, performing their latest album Breach, which mixes theatrical visuals and interactive storytelling with their signature pop-rock style.
Moby will make his first Czech appearance in 17 years, promising a large-scale show with live instruments, vocals, and immersive production. New Zealand’s Lorde will present her latest album Virgin to Czech audiences for the first time, while American singer Teddy Swims will make his Czech debut with a set blending pop, soul, and high-energy stage performance.
Emerging global stars
Audrey Nuna’s K-pop breakthrough gives Colours of Ostrava a distinctly international flavor. Her song Golden, from the Golden Globe-winning Netflix hit KPop Demon Hunters, became one of Spotify’s most-streamed tracks in 2025.
Japanese acts Jambinai, Kirara, and Turtle Island will also perform, offering experimental, electronic, and punk-influenced sounds. British singer Paris Paloma will present songs from her debut album Cacophony and her viral single Good Boy, while viral European hitmaker Bennett will bring his danceable track Vois sur ton chemin to the festival stage.
