Sex Pistols, Guns N’ Roses, Biffy Clyro, Kneecap & more added to ROCK FOR PEOPLE 2025!

Rock for People, Europe’s most dynamic and increasingly popular alternative festival, has unveiled more headliners among 40+ new names, and added an extra day to the weekend for its 30th-anniversary celebration from 11 to 15 June 2025!

Joining previously announced SlipknotLinkin Park and Avenged SevenfoldSex Pistols featuring Frank Carter complete the festival’s headline bill from Wednesday to Saturday, with Guns N’ Roses set to close out the weekend with a massive extra day on Sunday.

Legends of the punk-rock subculture Sex Pistols make their Rock for People debut at Park 360 in Hradec Králové and their first show in Czechia since 1996. Celebrating half a century since bursting onto the scene, the influential band perform with an old-new line-up comprised of original and founding Sex Pistols members Paul Cook, Steve Jones and Glen Matlock alongside Frank Carter (of Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes and Gallows). One of the most surprising and admired musical returns, this celebrated new partnership brings an album of vital tracks like ‘Anarchy In The UK’ and ‘God Save the Queen’ back to life in the most iconic fashion.

As part of this milestone edition, Rock for People will offer something truly extraordinary: an exclusive extra day on Sunday, 15th June, headlined by none other than Guns N’ Roses. Fans can add this special day as part of a monster 5-day weekend ticket, for a unique opportunity to see one of the most influential rock bands of all time. With anthems like ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’, ‘November Rain’ and ‘Paradise City’ the Guns N’ Roses legacy is undeniable. For a day also featuring the likes of Rival Sons and more to be announced, all full-festival 4-day festival ticket holders have the opportunity to purchase Sunday’s programme at a discounted price.

In addition to the final headliners, Rock for People announced over 40 more acts and revealed the day splits from Wednesday to Sunday for their first-ever 5-day weekend.

Each year Rock for People brings several days of high quality energetic music as well as additional supporting programming in the form of performances, dance, stand up comedy and engaging discussions, with even more to be announced in the coming months.

Some of the festival tickets are already sold out, such as the one-day Saturday tickets with headliner Linkin Park. More information and ticket sales can be found on the festival’s brand new website: https://rockforpeople.cz/en/.

Festival founder Michal Thomes said“I dare say the lineup we’ve managed to put together for this year’s show is truly exceptional. The bar for the festival is once again being raised and we are seeing a huge demand for tickets that we have never seen before. We are enlarging the venue, moving the Fat Lady main stage further away, while strengthening the infrastructure of Park 360 and other services to maintain the comfort that visitors are used to. Despite this, six months before the event, 90% of the capacity of full-festival tickets is sold out already.”

Since 1995, Rock for People has been delivering world-class experiences, ever-committed to driving forward the new generation of modern rock in all its forms. Held in the unique location of Park 360 in the historic city of Hradec Králové, Czechia, two iconic outdoor main stages and big tops are surrounded by a complex of ex-military airport bunkers, now playing host to incredible food & drink arenas, expansive merch stalls, late-night parties, and more. The festival offers great value, with affordable travel and accommodation options, making it an increasingly popular choice for UK music fans. With its 30th-anniversary edition, Rock for People promises to go bigger than ever. 

Rock for People takes place 11–15th June 2025 at Park 360, Hradec Králové, Czechia. With more to be announced, information and tickets are available now via: https://rockforpeople.cz/en/
