Info from organizers:
During the past 14 years Rock for People has become one of the biggest and most popular outdoor music festivals in the Czech Republic. Artists from all around the world meet on five or six stages in three days of great fun and festival atmosphere.
The past 12 years Rock for People took place in a small town of Cesky Brod. But what used to be a small regional festival has turned into one of the most prestigious and attractive events of the year. As the original festival site was out of its capacity, in year 2007 we've decided to move the festival into a larger venue. The former military airfield next to Hradec Kralove offers great comfort and festival atmosphere for the fans, same as for the performing artists.
Our guests can enjoy movies, an Internet café, adrenaline sports and many more attractions. All this in three days, on two large stages and three smaller "club" stages. Festival capacity is more than 35.000 people and national TV and radio are always present to cover this exciting event. Get to know Czech people. Park your car or caravan or bring your tent and camp in the large festival camp ground! And enjoy the continuing festivities even after the band shave stopped for the day. Of course, other accommodations are available in boarding houses and hotels in the beuatiful city of Hradec Kralove.
