Prague Music Festival (‘Praha Žije Hudbou’) will take place between the 6th and 7th of June.

200 musicians will take part in the ninth year of the street art festival, playing in the streets, squares, and parks of Prague.

Praha Žije Hudbou is a multigenre street art festival whose aim is to present street art to the public and support the idea of busking.

This multi-genre festival aims to showcase street art and promote the culture of busking — spontaneous artistic performances in public spaces.

Over 120 acts, including well-known names such as Annet X, Anki, singer-accordionist Rozálie, David Kraus & Gipsy Brothers, and singer-songwriter Kvietah, will perform across more than 20 locations throughout the city.

The festival promotes a simple motto: Art belongs in the streets. With performances ranging from live music to theatre, dance, and magic, Praha Žije Hudbou offers a one-of-a-kind cultural experience accessible to all.

What is busking?

Busking refers to any form of street performance, not just music. Performers may sing, dance, act, or even perform magic in public spaces. Traditionally, audiences show their appreciation by dropping a voluntary contribution into the performer’s hat.

All events in the festival are free of charge, but artists rely on and welcome public support. If you enjoy the performance, don’t hesitate to show your appreciation.
