Rock for People
The Biggest Present Czech Music Festlival
During the past 12 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 three or four stages in three days of great fun and festival atmosphere.
As the original festival site was out of its capacity, in 2008 the organizers decided to move the festival into a large venue. 
The former military airfield by Hradec Kralove offers great comfort and festival atmosphere for the fans, same as for the preforming artists.
A substantial amount of tickets is often sold even before the festival program is published! Rock for People has been recognized annually in various magazines and readers´ polls as the best event of the year, receiving in 1998 certification from the Czech Republic Ministry of Culture and in 2000 the Czech Grammy Award for Best Event of the Year. 
The 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 30.000 people and national TV and radio are always present to cover this exciting event.
It is possible to park your car or caravan or bring your tent and camp in the large 
festival campground for free, and enjoy the continuing festivities even after the bands have stopped for the day. Of course, other accommodations are available in boarding houses and hotels in the city of Hradec Kralove.
