There’s a lot of big news about Rock For People 2026. Not only have we been presented with a major first wave of bands including headliners, but the festival has also expanded by one regular festival day and a special day. This means the official date is now June 10–14, 2026 – five full days of bands await you in the Czech Republic. Read here which bands are on board and what ticket options are available!

Bring Me The Horizon and Iron Maiden as headliners

The first headliners have already been revealed: Bring Me The Horizon will take the stage on Friday night, while Iron Maiden will headline Sunday night as part of their Run For Your Lives Tour. But another 21 acts have already been confirmed, including highlights like Electric Callboy, Papa Roach, Bilmuri, Breaking Benjamin, Megadeth, President, and Thrown.

4-day and 5-day tickets available

Whether you make Rock For People a 5-day event is up to you: there are still festival passes for the 4-day experience without the special Sunday, but also the option of a 5-day festival pass including the special day with Iron Maiden. In addition, day tickets for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be available.

Tickets go back online tomorrow, September 25, at 10 AM. Get ready at rockforpeople.cz/en/tickets/!

Important info: Anyone who already purchased tickets in the previous sale for the originally announced June 11–13, 2026 dates will now automatically have tickets valid for June 10–13, just like the 4-day tickets being offered starting tomorrow. If you also want to attend the special day, you can get an upgrade for that.
