Prague Open Air 2025 will kick off on Tuesday, June 17, and run through Saturday, September 20, bringing a packed summer of open-air concerts to the Czech capital.

This year’s edition spans four venues: Riegrovy sady, Občanská plovárna, Terasa Smíchov, and the festival’s newest addition, Areál 7 in Holešovice.

After years at Ledárny Braník, organizers decided it was time for a change.

“We had outgrown the space at Ledárny,” said Tomáš Staněk, one of the event’s key organizers. “Areál 7 offers more room and can be adjusted depending on the number of visitors. It’s also better connected by public transport.”

The decision wasn’t based only on space constraints. Noise complaints from nearby residents had long plagued the Ledárny venue.

At one point, pressure from locals prompted the Prague municipality to propose a decree regulating large public events. This sparked backlash from the artistic community.

Musicians and event promoters launched a petition, warning the move could lead to a “shutdown of culture” in the city.

Former city councilor for legislation Hana Kordová Marvanová criticized the petition, calling it misleading. But rather than enforce sweeping restrictions, she met with organizers. Both sides agreed the issue wouldn’t be solved by regulation alone—it required cooperation and dialogue.

Ticket prices for Prague Open Air 2025 range from 500 to 800 CZK, offering an affordable way for audiences to enjoy live music under the open sky.
