Rock For People 2027 lineup: Blink-182, Faith No More and Architects top first wave

# What was announced

Headline slots confirmed so far include Blink‑182, Faith No More and Architects. The bill also features Billy Talent, Motionless In White, Killswitch Engage, Napalm Death, Neck Deep, Sleeping With Sirens, Static‑X, Wage War and From Ashes To New. Outside the metal and hardcore spectrum, the lineup includes Beach Bunny, Fat Dog and newcomer Blue Medusa.

# Why these headliners matter

Blink‑182 were added to the festival after being announced on the final night of this year's Rock For People. The band released a 25th‑anniversary edition of Take Off Your Pants And Jacket earlier in 2026 and their last studio album, One More Time..., arrived in 2023. Blink‑182 have also been confirmed for several other major European festivals and three headline shows in Berlin, Paris and Milan in June 2027.

Organisers framed adding Faith No More as a major moment for the festival. Rock For People director Luděk Motyčka said bringing Faith No More alongside Blink‑182 is "a huge event for us" and pointed to the band's influence on modern rock and metal and a long history with the festival.

# The broader bill and program balance

The first wave combines legacy acts, current scene heavyweights and rising names:

• Heavy and metalcore: Architects, Killswitch Engage, Napalm Death, Static‑X, Beartooth (mentioned across related festivals), Wage War.
• Punk and post‑hardcore: Blink‑182, Billy Talent, Neck Deep, Sleeping With Sirens, From Ashes To New.
• Alternative and indie: Beach Bunny, Fat Dog, Blue Medusa.
• Other touring acts: Motionless In White will perform following recent headline momentum in the UK.

This mix signals the festival is keeping a broad rock and metal focus while reserving space for indie and pop‑leaning acts to diversify the audience.
