The lineup brings together five countries and several prominent club names of the present. Mama Snake will bring fast acid techno with a trance vibe from Copenhagen. Serbian DJ Tijana T arrives from Belgrade with her energetic mix of house music, techno, and breakbeat. Lea Occhi will offer a Berlin-based groove, working with both tension and lightness. Another performer will be London’s Adam Pits, who has played a key role in the revival of local psychedelic and deep dance music in recent years. The local scene will be represented by Humaniser from the noRemorse crew, whose collaboration with Sound is one of the key moments of this year's edition.
Two crews, four stages, one island. During the day, Sound Pit and noRemorse Bush under the open sky, after dark Fuchs2 Hall and Salo Room indoors. Proper open-air day parties are still as rare as hen's teeth in Prague. Sound Open Air brings a different vibe than we are used to, and it takes place on an island where the skatepark transforms into a dancefloor and where the afternoon groove smoothly transitions into the night. More info is available on the festival's website or on Instagram.

The First Prague Open Air of the season - Sound returns to Štvanice
Most parties in Prague start after midnight. This one starts at one in the afternoon. Sound Open Air takes over Štvanice Island on May 23 with four stages, twenty artists, and a day-to-night format that Prague almost never sees. The outdoor programme runs from 13:00 across the island's concrete terrain, with the river on both sides and the city skyline ahead. When the sun drops, the music moves indoors to Fuchs2 and runs until 06:00.
The lineup pulls from five countries. Mama Snake brings Copenhagen's high-velocity acid techno, trance-laced, relentless, surgically clean. Tijana T arrives from Belgrade with her signature elastic 303 lines and breakbeat switch-ups. Berlin-based Lea Occhi builds spiralling minimal grooves that swing rather than bludgeon. Adam Pits layers psychedelic textures and trance-adjacent harmonics into long hypnotic builds from Leeds. And Humaniser represents Prague's own noRemorse crew on the Bush stage, the collaboration between Sound and noRemorse is central to this edition.
Two crews, four stages, one island. Sound Pit and noRemorse Bush outdoors in the sun. Fuchs2 Hall and Salo Room indoors after dark. If you have lived in Prague long enough, you know how rare a proper open-air day party is here. Not a festival with wristbands and branded stages. An island where the skatepark becomes a dancefloor, the afternoon groove stretches into a night session, and you never have to choose between the two.
