The legendary Czech music festival Rock for People has done it again! Today, the festival announced that it will again span a full five days in 2026, stretching from June 10 to June 14 at Hradec Králové’s Park360.
They also announced 24 of the bands in the lineup, including two of the five headliners.

Iconic British metalcore band Bring Me The Horizon will headline on Friday (June 12th).
Alongside these two already impressive headliners, RFP announced big names from the US like Papa Roach, Breaking Benjamin, The Pretty Reckless, and Alter Bridge.

In addition, everyone’s new favorite masked metal band PRESIDENT is in the lineup. Find the full list of bands announced below.
About today’s announcement, festival founder Michal Thomes shared:
“After this year’s incredibly successful 30th anniversary festival headlined by Linkin Park, I had a feeling that it wouldn’t be easy to maintain the same level of lineup for next year. However, 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 fulfilment of some of my dreams, led by Iron Maiden, whose music has shaped several generations.”
Rock for People 2025 was a record-breaking event celebrating its 30th anniversary, and clearly they’re not stopping there. Check out the official 2025 aftermovie for a preview of what you can look forward to in 2026:
