Prague’s Metronome Festival will relocate to Letňany Airport this summer as it marks its tenth anniversary, bringing back returning headliners Sting and Nick Cave alongside a broader international lineup.

The three-day event is scheduled for June 19 to 21, with organizers confirming the move from the city’s Exhibition Grounds to a larger open-air site in Prague 18.

The change is expected to significantly increase capacity following a new partnership with Live Nation.

Festival founder David Gaydečka said the return of globally recognized artists reflects the event’s growing standing beyond the Czech Republic. He added that attendance is expected to double compared to previous years, turning the anniversary edition into one of the largest music gatherings the capital has hosted.

Alongside established names, the program places stronger emphasis on emerging performers and younger audiences. Friday’s schedule will focus on contemporary acts, including Tom Odell, Lykke Li, JADE and Cobrah.

Several artists from the Czech scene also highlighted the lineup during the launch event, pointing to names such as Balu Brigada, KennyHoopla and Razorlight among those they are most interested in seeing.

Beyond music, the festival will again include its Open Air Art exhibition, presenting contemporary visual works, as well as a new гастronomy-focused section under the FRESH Festival label.

Organizers say the expanded site will allow for a broader mix of cultural and food offerings.

Festival gates will open at 1 p.m. on Friday and at noon over the weekend.
