Czech festival Rock for People has named Parkway Drive as the third headliner of its 2027 edition, taking place from 2 to 5 June at Park 360 in Hradec Králové, about 90 minutes from Prague. The Australian metalcore band will top the bill on Friday 4 June, joining previously announced headliners blink-182, who play on Wednesday 2 June, and Faith No More, on Thursday 3 June. A fourth headliner has yet to be revealed.
Evanescence join as special guests, marking their first Rock for People appearance in a decade, as part of a new wave of more than 40 acts. British acts feature prominently among the new names: BRIT Award winners Bastille return for the first time since 2015, alongside Welsh post-hardcore band Holding Absence, Scottish indie rockers The Snuts, Glaswegian punk duo Cowboy Hunters and London emo outfit Tooth. Also newly confirmed are Simple Plan, Joost, Beartooth, Carpenter Brut, Kreator, Napalm Death, The Devil Wears Prada, Static-X, Sleeping With Sirens, Wage War, Hot Mulligan, Hawthorne Heights, Daughtry, Rico Nasty, Orbit Culture, Einar Solberg, Novelists, Annisokay, Resolve, Donots, Sweet Pill and Tigercub, among others.
They join a lineup that already included Brighton’s Architects, Billy Talent, Killswitch Engage and Motionless in White.
“For us, the Rock for People line-up has always been about finding a balance,” said festival director Luděk Motyčka.
For Faith No More, the festival is part of the band’s return to the stage. The San Francisco group’s first reunion show is set for 15 January 2027 at Rio de Janeiro’s Maracanã.
According to the organisers, more than half of the tickets for the 2027 edition have already been sold, following a sold-out 2026 festival. Full festival passes and single-day tickets are on sale now through the festival’s official website.
