Final Headliner Halsey, Announced for Rock For People 2016 – Czechia

Europe’s fastest-growing alternative music festival, Rock for People, has announced the final headliner for the 31st edition today. Halsey will join Gorillaz, Limp Bizkit, Bring Me The Horizon and Iron Maiden on the top of the bill for the five day festival taking place in Czechia between 10-14th June 2026.

Doubling down on the mission to present the most imaginative festival line-up of the summer, Rock for People has revealed Halsey today. Arriving mid-way through the popular Advent Calendar campaign which has also seen the likes of Wolf Alice, Yard Act, Alessi Rose revealed in recent days, a raft of heavy acts have also joined the bill this month including A Day To Remember, Trivium, letlive., Kublai Klan TX and more. Fans can look forward to discovering nine more names dropping at midnight in the run up to Christmas Day.

10 years since her iconic debut album, Badlands, Halsey continues to reject any genre rules. In just a decade, she has won countless awards, including three Billboard Music Awards and three Grammy nominations. In 2020, Time magazine included her in its list of the 100 most influential people in the world. All of her albums have reached number one or two on the Billboard 200 chart. In addition to her own hits, she has also collaborated with Bring Me The Horizon on a metalcore track and recorded the pop-punk duet “forget me too” with Machine Gun Kelly.

Rock for People’s founder Michal Thomes said: “It’s great that we’re closing the announcement of the biggest festival names with a world-class modern headliner who has dominated the lineups of giant international festivals such as Reading & Leeds. We are very happy that Halsey’s first Czech performance will take place at Rock for People.”

The Rock for People festival continues to push boundaries and confirm its place among Europe’s leading festivals. This is proven by the fact that Rock for People was selected among the TOP 10 best festivals in Europe in the prestigious European Festival Awards, in three categories – Best Major Festival, Promoter of the Year, and The Event Safety Award. Festival Director Luděk Motyčka said: “We are delighted that our work is paying off and that Rock for People is becoming increasingly visible on an international level.”

Now entering its 31st year, Rock for People has evolved from a grassroots Czech rock gathering into one of Europe’s standout alternative festivals, drawing fans from across the world. Following this year’s record-breaking 30th anniversary edition headlined by Linkin Park, the 2026 event will again span five full days, offering more music, art, and immersive experiences than ever before.

Located just 90 minutes east of Prague, Park 360 transforms each June into a vibrant, sustainable festival city, set among repurposed airfield bunkers and green parkland. Alongside its music programme of over 200 artists, the festival features theatre, film screenings, comedy, workshops, and a vast range of food and drink options at exceptional value. The atmosphere at Rock for People is defined by creativity, inclusivity, and community. With more names still to be announced, Rock for People 2026 is set to be its most groundbreaking and unmissable editions yet.

Rock for People 2026 takes place from 10–14 June in Park 360, Hradec Králové, Czechia. Tickets are on-sale now, with VIP and COMFY+ tickets nearing sell-out: https://rockforpeople.cz/en/tickets/
