Metronome Production and Live Nation Czech Republic are joining forces: and it is already clear that the upcoming edition of Metronome Prague will become the music event of the year 2026. The first announced star is Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
Metronome Prague is entering its second decade with a significant step forward. After ten years of existence, its founders announced a partnership with the global leader in concert promotion, Live Nation Czech Republic. This collaboration will create a unique music event that will take place from June 19 to 21, 2026, at Letňany Airport in Prague. The first announced star of the packed line-up is Nick Cave. Online ticket sales at a discounted price will open soon here!
Nick Cave, one of the most significant figures in world music, a charismatic singer, songwriter, and eternal rebel, will be heading to Metronome as part of his European tour. “Nick asked us after his first performance a few years ago at Metronome: ‘Where did you get such a great audience?’... We invited him to celebrate the 10th anniversary, and we are happy that he accepted the invitation. Prague will be one of the few stops in the nearby area, so we are looking forward not only to local but also international fans of great music. Nick is preparing an amazing, more than two-hour show. Other big names will follow soon,” promises David Gaydečka, co-founder of Metronome Prague.
The partnership between Metronome Prague and Live Nation Czech Republic brings strong support and know-how, but above all, a new dimension to the festival concept that combines music with culture, art, discussions, gastronomy, and social themes. In 2026, this concept will expand on a larger scale with three main stages, a broader genre range, a Food Festival, and accompanying programs aimed at inspiring and connecting audiences across generations. The new setting of Letňany Airport will ensure not only ample space but also comfort and easy accessibility for all visitors.
“For ten years, we have been creating an event that transports audiences beyond the boundaries of a classic music festival. Top musical experiences, other art forms, and comfortable services, all connected to a visit to one of the most beautiful European capitals define Metronome. We are excited about the partnership with Live Nation. It opens new possibilities and elevates our vision to a global level,” says David Gaydečka, and his colleague Martin Voňka adds: “Metronome is an event for those who want more than just to see a concert. We offer a space where music opens the way to new experiences. Thanks to the partnership with Live Nation, we will now create an experience that will define the June start of summer not only in Prague but in all of Central Europe.”
“Our goal is to bring not only concerts to the Czech Republic but also music events with a long-term impact. The partnership with Metronome Prague is a great opportunity to create an event that will have strong local roots while also opening doors to names that have been out of reach until now,” says Robert Porkert, director of Live Nation Czech Republic.
Live Nation Czech Republic is part of the largest promoter company in the world, which organizes tens of thousands of concerts and festivals every year. In the Czech Republic, it is one of the market leaders, and just this year, its events have attracted more than 500,000 fans. It brings the biggest global stars to local stages, including Imagine Dragons, AC/DC, Billie Eilish, and Dua Lipa. With strong international backing, the company can ensure spectacular concerts in arenas and stadiums, as well as club events.
Ticket sales for Metronome Prague 2026 will soon be launched at www.metronome.cz – currently at a discounted price. As the line-up is gradually revealed, prices will increase.
