Rock for People Announces 2027 Lineup with Faith No More, blink-182

Czechia

Rock For People Moves Dates

Rock for People has unveiled the first major wave of artists for 2027, with Faith No More joining previously announced pop-punk icons blink-182 at the top of the bill. The festival returns to Park 360 in Hradec Králové, Czechia, June 2-5, 2027, for its 32nd edition.

The festival has moved dates to earlier in the European summer, most likely to avoid the most busy period, in which competition around booking headliners has become fierce – exacerbated by exclusivity and radius clauses, of course.

Joining the two headliners in the first major announcement are British metal heavyweights Architects, Canadian punk-rock favourites Billy Talent, and American metalcore giants Killswitch Engage. Motionless In White, Napalm Deat, Neck Deep, Sleeping With Sirens, Static-X, Wage War, and From Ashes To New have been confirmed, too.

Elsewhere, Rock for People continues to look beyond heavy rock of the spectrum, with acclaimed indie-pop artist Beach Bunny, chaotic South London electro-punk band Fat Dog and rising newcomers Blue Medusa among the first names confirmed. Further artists and two more headliners are still to be announced.

Rock for People director Luděk Motyčka commented, “Bringing Faith No More as the second headliner alongside the already confirmed blink-182 is a huge event for us. This is a band that has fundamentally influenced modern rock and metal, and Rock for People has a long history with them as well.”

Tickets are on sale, starting at €230 ($26) four a standard four-day GA ticket, with day-tickets and premium upgrades available.
