Following this year's legendary sold-out Rock for People headlined by Green Day, the organizers are raising the bar once again. As the first Czech festival, they're announcing two headliners for next summer and adding a fourth day. Fans can look forward to British giants MUSE as part of the tour for their ninth studio album Will of the People. American Slipknot, who performed at the O2 Arena this year and proved that they are rightfully among the biggest metal legends in music history, will once again delight the lovers of metal music in June at Park 360 in Hradec Králové.
"We managed to cross our own borders again. When Green Day's agent happily thanked us, I knew that this year's 26th edition had taken us a huge step forward in many ways." Says with a smile, festival director Michal Thomes and adds: "our diligence has paid off, because this same agent has now, after months of negotiations, confirmed the participation of a band with a much larger production MUSE."
Rock for People celebrated success on all fronts this year, and the 27th annual festival will not only build on this success but with the upcoming lineup will surpass it. The organizers are not taking their foot off the gas, and in addition to the two headliners, they have announced the first set of bands festival-goers can look forward to next summer. This is the dramaturgical taste of what the lineup for next year will look like. As subheadliners, the festival will feature British metalcore Architects, Canadian rockers Billy Talent, and American nu metal Hollywood Undead. Next, on Rock for People stages in June will be I Prevail, Lorna Shore, Nothing But Thieves, Paledusk, Set It Off, Sleep Token, The Amazons, and While She Sleeps. Rock for People reports, "this is just the beginning!"
Rock for People festival will take place on June 8-11, 2023 at Park 360 in Hradec Králové in the Czech Republic. The pre-sale of tickets for the next edition starts Friday at 10 a.m. on Goout.net.
