| Rock for People is once again proving its strength, bringing in the biggest acts in the world and confirming another five full days of music for June 2026. With two of five headliners announced today, among the first 24 names, Rock for People is set for another massive summer next year a leading force in alternative culture. Iron Maiden will perform at the 31st edition of the annual festival on Sunday, 14th June, as part of a special extra day for the iconic band’s loyal legion of fans. Celebrating 50 years on stage, this will form a historic moment as part of their Run For Your Lives World Tour, which will be immortalised with an official book and documentary film ahead of a break from live touring in 2027. The second headliner will be Bring Me The Horizon, a band firmly cementing their place as the one of the biggest and most important bands in alternative music. With a mind-blowing live production, their work reflects an effort to dismantle the old, empty world and hasten its demise with the help of relentless guitars and the harrowing vocals of frontman Oli Sykes, which sweep listeners away like a tsunami. ![]() |
