Here we are on day two, Thursday, June 12, 2026. There are even more shows available (53 today), more rain, more steps to be made, more calories to be burned.
Thornhill
A representative from down under (Australia), Thornhill, are representing the alternative metal scene. With dark slow emotional sound that evolves into alternative (garage maybe) rock the band offered a great show and set the tone for the day to follow.
Wohnout
Wohnout are a local mature band (almost 30 years old) with strong punk, stoner rock, pop influences that are quite visible throughout their songs. While singing in Czech the band managed to captivate the audience with its melodies and sudden rhythm changes. A solid performance even for an international audience.
Catch Your Breath
An American hard rock band with nu metal influences. During their 45 minutes set they were energetic, filled the scene perfectly and connected with the audience via their heavy riffs and vocals. With a nice video production to accompany them they were one of the days highlights for sure.
Social Distortion
A must see for all true American-punk scene lovers. Social distortion displayed clearly why the are still defining a genre. Powerfull songs, clean sound and energy beyond the roof they put the mosh into the pit. I am certain that none of the thousands thate were observing their set was disappointed from their show and performance.
Breaking Benjamin
Another long-awaited band in EU. Breaking Benjamin crossed the Atlantic and they made sure to remind everyone why they are one of the highest grossing and top ranking bands in their genre. While a small delay due to technical issues on stage made everyone bellow nervous and anxious it took 0.5 seconds after the first riff to let ourselves enjoy the show they delivered that included all major hits like “I will not Bow” and “So Cold”. Fantastic crowd interaction throughout the show helped into transmitting the power of the songs to the peoples soul.
All Time Low
Yet another pop-punk ambassador, All time Low’s performance on stage was absolutely amazing. No way one could see the energy from the band and not be influenced to join. Jumping up and down constantly, shouting and hitting the chords and drums to the max of their strength. And their songs? Well who did not know “Dear Maria….”? The audience was singing and dancing along the whole time.
Papa Roach
Už jsem je viděl dvakrát, takže jsem byl zvědavý, co mě čeká. S novým albem, které se chystá vyjít, předvedli Papa Roach fantastické vystoupení. Pyrotechnika, vizuální efekty a nepřetržitý tanec po dobu hodiny a půl. Jako lídři alternativní rockové scény nám zahráli všechny své hity, včetně samozřejmě „Last Resort“ a „See You in Hell“, mimo jiné. Když jsem se rozhlížel po tvářích v davu, bylo na nich vidět spokojenost a lásku k kapele, která zjevně přišla, aby všechny rozhýbala.
The Fialky
My biggest surprise. I have heard the name of this Czech punk band before but never had the chance to see them. So when I saw they were playing I decided to go and have a look. As I was approaching the stage (one of the side stages) I could already feel that whoever was there (and it was full), was having an amazing time. All songs were sang by everyone there, dancing, balloons you name it. A party is the right description. And a nice party above all. Definitely seeing them again.
Limp Bizkit
11 years wait. 1 and a half hours set. Thousands of people under the stage. Ladies and gentlemen …Limp Bizkit is here.32 years of greatness were hard to fit in one show but what was delivered was awesome. As always great visuals and super clear sounds. You could hear very little note of the band. Despite the long day everyone was dancing to the tunes of “Nookie” and other hymns of this megabrand. Rightfully they had the headliner’s role and they delivered such a performance.
