PARK 360, HRADEC KRÁLOVÉ, CZECHIA

Rock for People - one of Europe’s leading alternative music festivals - has announced the second wave of names for its 2026 edition, expanding an already colossal bill with one of the most imaginative line-ups of next summer.

Joining previously announced headliners Iron Maiden and Bring Me The Horizon, the festival welcomes Gorillaz and Limp Bizkit to the top of the bill, alongside new additions Three Days Grace, BABYMETAL, Nothing But Thieves, Basement, Gatecreeper, Joey Valence & Brae, The Royston Club, Sofian Medjmedj and unpeople.

Taking place from 10-14th June 2026 at Park 360 in Hradec Králové, Czechia, Rock for People continues to raise the bar for large-scale, high-quality alternative festivals in Europe and fast becoming a must for British festival-goers looking for something new.

Set to headline Wednesday 10th June, Gorillaz mark one of the festival’s most inventive bookings to date. Known Damon Albarn's pioneering musical genius and Jamie Hewlett's world-building visuals, Gorillaz perfectly encapsulate Rock for People’s unique curatorial approach, an ever-evolving celebration of modern alternative culture that thrives on diversity and bold contrasts. With their 9th album 'The Mountain' on the horizon for 2026, this show will be one to remember for all at Rock for People.

The following night, Limp Bizkit will take over Thursday 11th June with their chaotic, nu-metal anthems 'Rollin', 'My Way', 'Nookie', 'Break Stuff', and 'Take a Look Around'. Led by the uncompromising and spontaneous Fred Durst, the generation defining band have burst back onto the scene with a whole new legion of fans. The band’s first return to Rock for People in 11 years promises one of the festival’s most explosive sets of the summer, uniting generations of fans in true RfP style.

They join previously announced Iron Maiden, who will deliver a landmark performance on Sunday 14 June as part of their Run For Your Lives World Tour celebrating 50 years on stage, and Bring Me The Horizon, who will headline with their boundary-pushing show with live AI visuals as they continue to redefined heavy music in the modern era.

Also newly announced, Three Days Grace, Nothing But Thieves, and BABYMETAL bring international star power to the line-up, alongside cult favourites Basement and Gatecreeper, viral hip-hop punk duo Joey Valence & Brae, fast-rising UK indie outfit The Royston Club and more. Together they represent the broad spectrum of modern rock and alternative music that Rock for People has become renowned for championing.

Rock for People founder Michal Thomes said: "It's great to see the lineup growing before our eyes. Having four headliners for next year finally confirmed and announced in mid-October is every organiser's dream. And this is just the beginning, with over 200 performers set to appear at the festival, there's even more to look forward to..."

Now entering its 31st year, Rock for People has evolved from a grassroots Czech rock gathering into one of Europe’s standout alternative festivals, drawing fans from across the world. Following 2025’s record-breaking 30th anniversary edition headlined by Linkin Park, the 2026 event will again span five full days, offering more music, art, and immersive experiences than ever before.

Located just 90 minutes east of Prague, Park 360 transforms each June into a vibrant, sustainable festival city, set among repurposed airfield bunkers and green parkland. Alongside its music programme of over 200 artists, the festival features theatre, film screenings, comedy, workshops, and a vast range of food and drink options at exceptional value. The atmosphere at Rock for People is defined by creativity, inclusivity, and community.

With the final headliner and many more names still to be announced, Rock for People 2026 is set to be its most groundbreaking and unmissable editions yet.
