Rock for People Festival: Thousands Attend First Day with Slipknot and Simple Plan

First, they formed queues at the entrances, with their cars significantly slowed down the traffic around the airport, and after the festival gates were opened, they gradually filled the area so that during the evening concerts of the main stars, it was quite tight, especially near the two main stages.

The thesis of the organizers was confirmed that the decision to be at Rock for People is not decided by music-loving Czech fans by the fact that the event takes place on days off, but rather by its program and prestige.

In Hradec Králové, American wild metal band Slipknot presented themselves on the very first day, guys in masks with almost 30 years of experience on the scene, who with their powerful sound crushed the hearing of those present in a friendly, but merciless way.

The Canadian Simple Plan played a portion of melodic punk rock songs, which the ten thousand crowd under the stage and in the adjacent corners very often helped the band to sing. He also previously gave a dose of fan love to British rockers Architects and American punks Anti-Flag.

The organizers prepared an extremely rich program right from the start. His philosophy is to present top-notch and promising foreign bands that complement remarkable ensembles from the country and Slovakia. It is played on several stages, the genre range is wide.

It was also possible to meet a lot of visitors from abroad in the area on Thursday. Polish and German speakers predominated among them. Rock for People has a good sound among summer events in Europe. Last year’s sold-out edition earned the organizers a ranking among the ten best central European festivals and the ten best promoters in the European Festival Awards.

After all, the program also corresponds to this. On Friday, the American Machine Gun Kelly will be the main star, on Saturday the British The 1975, and on Sunday evening the event will close with a concert by the British trio Muse, incidentally the most expensive band in its history for the Rock for People festival.
