Rock for People, one of Central Europe’s most anticipated rock and metal festivals, has announced additional headliners for its 2027 edition. Australian metalcore heavyweights Parkway Drive and gothic rock icons Evanescence will join previously confirmed acts blink-182 and Faith No More at the festival, set to take place from June 2 to 5, 2027, in Hradec Králové, Czechia. The lineup now includes a mix of established stars and emerging acts, reflecting the festival’s commitment to diverse musical trends.

The festival’s 2027 roster is shaping up to be one of its strongest yet. Alongside Parkway Drive and Evanescence, the event will feature: - Beartooth (US metalcore) - Carpenter Brut (French synthwave) - Kreator (German thrash metal legends) - Hot Mulligan (US emo) - The Devil Wears Prada (US metalcore) - Daughtry (US rock) - Rico Nasty (US hip-hop/rap) - Showing Teeth (UK alternative metal) - As December Falls (UK rock) - The Paradox (Czech rock)

Festival director Luděk Motyčka emphasized the event’s balance between mainstream appeal and underground energy.

This approach ensures a dynamic experience for fans of all subgenres, from hardcore to synthwave and beyond.
