After nearly a decade, Sting will once again perform in Prague — this time as the final headliner of the Metronome Festival 2026, set to take place from June 19 to 21 at Letňany Airport. The British musician, who has won 17 Grammy Awards and is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, will take the stage on Sunday, closing the three-day event. Organizers announced the lineup on Monday, confirming that Live Nation Czech Republic will co-produce the festival for the first time. Tickets for both the final day and full three-day passes go on sale this Friday via Ticketmaster. “Fans can expect everything that makes a Sting show special — timeless hits, new songs, his unmistakable voice, and top-level musicianship,” said Ondřej Pojzl, speaking on behalf of the organizers. Sting will perform as a trio, joined by long-time guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas. The same lineup appeared last year at Lochotín Amphitheatre in Plzeň and this summer at Colours of Ostrava. The group will also play Brno’s Winning Group Arena this weekend. The artist last performed at Metronome in 2017, when the festival was still held at the Holešovice Exhibition Grounds. Next year marks...
In the past week, Prague’s city center has become a film set once again. After filming near the National Theatre and Rytířská Street, crews for a new Netflix series, The Age of Innocence, have now taken over Politických vězňů Street — temporarily turning it into New York’s Fifth Avenue circa 1870. On the cobblestoned sidewalks between Jindřišská and Opletalová Streets, workers installed green gas lanterns typical of old New York. Around ten of them now line the stretch from the Communist Party headquarters (KSČM) to the corner of Olivová Street. The series is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton (1862–1937), a celebrated American author known for exploring the tension between personal desires and social conventions. The story portrays a romance that falters under the weight of societal expectations in upper-class New York. Netflix has ordered eight episodes, several of which are being filmed in the Czech Republic. The last major adaptation of Wharton’s novel was Martin Scorsese’s 1993 film, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder. An earlier version appeared in 1934. International Cast in Prague The Netflix adaptation stars Ben Radcliffe, a British actor known from the 2014 romantic comedy Furious...
The National Theatre Ballet will soon unveil Liliom, a powerful new production by acclaimed American choreographer John Neumeier, known for transforming human emotions into movement. The ballet will premiere at Prague’s State Opera on October 23 and 24, marking its first Czech performance. After the Prague success of A Streetcar Named Desire, Neumeier returns to the Czech capital with another deeply emotional piece. Inspired by Ferenc Molnár’s 1909 play and the later musical adaptation Carousel by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, Liliom explores love, guilt, and the possibility of redemption. “When I return to a work, as I am now with Liliom in Prague, I have to fall in love with it all over again,” Neumeier said ahead of the premiere. Get your ticket here. A Story of Love, Violence, and Hope The ballet follows Liliom, a charismatic but self-destructive carousel operator, and Julie, a young woman who falls in love with him despite his flaws. Struggling with poverty and pride, Liliom’s frustration spirals into violence and despair. When he learns he is to become a father, his attempt to secure a better future ends tragically in a failed robbery and suicide. From there, the story shifts to the afterlife,...
Prague has made a name for itself in recent years as a highly attractive filming location, with various major projects using settings in the city. The biggest offering in recent years has been Apple TV+’s Foundation, a sci-fi series set in the distant future. It was recently confirmed that Foundation has been renewed for a fourth season, and that it will continue to use Prague for shooting. This is excellent news for the city, as it may allure other television developers to come here as well. Foundation Renewed for Fourth Season The third season of Foundation recently ended, and it was confirmed immediately that it will be followed by a fourth outing. According to reports, production will begin in early 2026, with a potential release date later in the year or early 2027. Given Apple’s solid track record of releasing new seasons as promptly as possible, fans may not have too long to wait. It’s also been noted that there was no announcement that the fourth season would be the last either, meaning that there could potentially be a lot further for this series to go. Critics agree that it is improving with time, and that it could soon be...

After ten years at Výstaviště, Metronome Festival is preparing for a major transformation. The 2026 edition will take place from June 19 to 21 at the Letňany Airport grounds, marking a new era for one of the Czech capital’s biggest music events. Festival co-founder David Gaydečka announced that Metronome has entered a strategic partnership with Live Nation Czech Republic, one of the country’s leading concert promotion companies. The first confirmed headliner for next year’s event is Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, returning to Prague as part of their European tour. “Nick Cave is an artist who feels a deep connection with Czech audiences,” said Gaydečka. “He wanted to come back to celebrate our tenth anniversary with us. His relationship with Prague has always been special — and we couldn’t imagine a better way to start this new chapter.” According to Ondřej Pojzl of Live Nation Czech Republic, joining the Metronome team has been long in the making. “For several years, there’s been an internal wish for our Czech branch to co-organize a major festival, as is standard for Live Nation offices around the world,” Pojzl explained. “When the opportunity with Metronome came up, it made perfect sense.” Organizers say...

In addition, Bushbranch/Surfdog Records announced that it will release a remastered special edition of Clapton’s cult 1989 album Journeyman, which will include four new bonus tracks from the original recording sessions. Journeyman: Deluxe Edition breathes new life into the classic album and includes three previously unreleased tracks from the original recording sessions and another bonus track. It features timeless hits such as “Pretending,” “Bad Love,” and “Running on Faith” with guest artists such as George Harrison, Phil Collins, Chaka Khan, Daryl Hall, Robert Cray, and others. Clapton himself says, “Journeyman… That’s how I want to be known; I like to think of myself as a craftsman. I think I’m constantly working to improve my craft.” Clapton’s contribution to the worldwide popularity of blues and rock is indisputable. Since 1963, he has played in many bands, most notably The Yardbirds, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, and the great Cream, who wrote rock, blues, and rhythm and blues history in gold. As a solo artist, Eric Clapton has released 22 studio albums, the latest of which was released...
Canadian jazz singer and pianist Diana Krall will return to Prague this autumn, performing at the Prague Congress Center on October 17. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster. Known for her distinctive voice and elegant piano style, Krall has built a career that bridges jazz traditions with mainstream appeal. She is a two-time Grammy Award winner and has received ten Juno Awards in her native Canada. Eight of her albums debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart, earning nine gold, three platinum, and seven multi-platinum certifications worldwide. Jazz Times described her as “one of the finest interpreters of classic jazz and pop songs,” while NPR highlighted her ability to blend sophisticated jazz sensibilities with a timeless style. Born in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Krall started piano lessons at age four and was playing jazz in local clubs by 15. Encouraged by her father, who collected recordings by Fats Waller, James P. Johnson and Earl Hines, she immersed herself in the genre’s early masters. “I think my dad had every record Fats Waller ever made,” Krall once said. Krall’s breakthrough came in 1999 with When I Look in Your Eyes, her first album for Verve Records, which spent 52 weeks...

The Dancing House Gallery in Prague has announced that Robert Vano’s final retrospective exhibition will remain open until April 6, 2026, following overwhelming public interest. The exhibition, originally scheduled to end this autumn, has been expanded to include a selection of rare platinum photographs from the artist’s private archive. The exhibition offers a comprehensive view of Vano’s career spanning more than five decades. Visitors encounter his work across continents and decades, from New York in the 1980s, where his career began, through Paris and Milan, to Prague, the city he eventually made his home. One of the major additions is ten platinum prints, half of which have never been shown publicly before. The rest were last exhibited more than fifteen years ago. Platinum printing is a highly demanding and expensive technique, practiced by only a handful of photographers worldwide. Vano first encountered it in the 1960s at an exhibition of American photographer Irving Penn and began experimenting with it in the early 1990s. Platinum photographs are known for their depth and durability, retaining their quality for centuries. “I found a 150-year-old recipe for platinum printing. It said: apply a mixture of iron, salt, and platinum to paper with a brush,...

The Municipal House, finished in 1911, is often called the city’s greatest Art Nouveau landmark. Its sweeping façade and elaborate interiors bear the work of Alfons Mucha and other leading artists of the time. For Prague residents, the building serves as both a concert hall and a social space. Visitors can only enter on a guided tour, which offers rare access to the richly decorated interiors usually closed to the public. Touring the Building The route includes Smetana Hall, crowned by a glass dome and still used for major concerts, the Moravian Slovak Parlour with its folk-inspired design, and the Oriental Parlour, a room steeped in exotic decoration. Visitors also pass through the Mayor’s Hall and other salons named after Czech political figures, where the city once entertained its most prominent guests.
