The story

Rock for People in Hradec Králové

Rock for People began in 1995 in Cesky Brod with eighteen bands and around 1,100 visitors, before relocating in 2007 to a former military airfield in Hradec Kralove, now Park 360. Its thirtieth-anniversary edition ran for the first time as a five-day festival and drew a record fifty thousand visitors behind headliners including Linkin Park, Slipknot and Guns N Roses.

Rock for People started in 1995 in the small town of Cesky Brod with just eighteen bands and about eleven hundred visitors, and it grew steadily through the following decade, adding a second day in 1997, a third in 1998, before outgrowing its original home entirely and relocating in 2007 to a disused military airfield in Hradec Kralove, now developed as Park 360.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few Czech festivals can trace three decades of continuous, well-documented growth from an 1,100-person regional gig to a fifty-thousand-capacity, five-day event with major international headliners, Rock for People's history essentially charts the growth of the country's post-1989 festival scene

02

The mystery stays covered

The former military airfield site in Hradec Kralove, developed into Park 360, gives it flat, open expanses suited to large-scale staging that its original small-town home in Cesky Brod could never have accommodated

03

The city starts moving

Programming has broadened from its original rock and punk core into electronic, hip-hop and pop acts across multiple stages, without abandoning the guitar-driven lineups the festival built its reputation on
