The Rock for People Festival has announced the first three dozen bands, including two headliners, for its 30th anniversary edition. Linkin Park, who are currently enjoying an incredible comeback that is resonating around the world, will head to Park 360 in Hradec Kralove this summer. The organisers of Rock for People, which takes place 11-14th June 2025, have managed to secure the band, who made their triumphant return to the top of the charts with “The Emptiness Machine” on what will be a Saturday night to remember.
Festival founder Michal Thomes comments on the announcement: “I never would have thought that we would have the artist who is the most ‘hot name’ globally for the season at Rock for People and we would be one of the first select festivals to get the band. I couldn’t have dreamed up a better way to celebrate Rock for People’s 30th birthday!”
The second announced headliner is metal greats Slipknot, who are returning to Hradec Kralove after two years to celebrate 30 years on the scene. Visitors can also look forward to Irish blazing favourites Fontaines D.C., Bristol’s IDLES, the festival’s long-awaited Motionless In White, American rockers Skillet and Swedish metalheads In Flames. Elsewhere the first line up announcement boasts the likes of Spiritbox, Static Dress, House of Protection, Poppy, Jerry Cantrell, Thrice, and many more. Due to the expected huge interest, ticket sales for the festival are now suspended, with tickets going on sale again on Monday 18th November at 10am at the link: https://goout.net/en/tickets/rock-for-people-2025/nhuy/
Now with a new visual identity to mark 30 years of the festival, Rock for People has become a modern leader of the European music scene in recent years. Bringing over 150 performers to the festival every year, the line ups always include the biggest international stars. Each day’s programme is carefully designed to include a varied selection of energetic guitar stalwarts, currently trending bands, as well as new finds. In addition to international acts, there are also representatives of the CZ/SK scene to discover.
Following this massive first announcement, fans can once again look forward to the popular RfP advent calendar, which reveals one name for the following year’s lineup every day on the festival’s website at midnight from 1st December!
Rock for People takes place 11-14th June 2025 at Park 360 in Hradec Kralove, Czechia. For more info and tickets visit: www.rockforpeople.cz
