Summer in Prague means one thing: outdoor concerts.

Among the city’s most established warm-weather traditions, Prague Open Air returns this season with 20 performances spread across two venues, running from early June through the first week of September.

The festival draws a mix of Czech headliners and international acts. This year’s foreign bookings include British electronic duo Kosheen and Celtic punk veterans Dropkick Murphys — two names that need no introduction for anyone who spent time near a radio or mosh pit in the early 2000s.

On the domestic side, fans can expect Rozálie, Mig 21, and David Koller, among others.

How It Starts — and How It Ends

The opening night falls on Wednesday, June 3, with Wohnout taking the stage at Energy Pub in Riegrovy sady. The curtain closes on September 8 at the same location, where Jasná Páka will deliver the final set of the season.

Two Venues, Two Atmospheres

All concerts take place at one of two locations: Energy Pub in Riegrovy sady, one of Prague’s most beloved hilltop beer gardens, and Areál7 in Holešovice, an industrial-edged event space in one of the city’s fastest-changing neighborhoods.

Tickets

Despite sharing a name, Prague Open Air is not a single ticketed event — each concert requires its own ticket. Children under 10 enter free. Holders of a ZTP/P disability card are entitled to bring a free escort.

At Areál7, only cashless payments are accepted: card, smartphone, or smartwatch. The one exception is band merchandise, which can still be purchased with cash.

Getting There

Areál7, Holešovice

The venue sits an 8-minute walk from Nádraží Holešovice metro station and the Výstaviště tram stop. Drivers can park on-site — the entrance is on Za Elektrárnou street, roughly two minutes from the metro station.

Energy Pub, Riegrovy sady

The pub is in the upper section of the park, directly across from the villa at Riegrovy sady 28. Metro riders can use Line A (Jiřího z Poděbrad) or Line C (Muzeum), both within easy walking distance. Trams serve the Husinecká and Vinohradská tržnice stops. Bus riders should alight at Na Smetance. By car, use Na Švihance 1 as your GPS destination and expect paid parking in the surrounding blue and purple zones.
