Sting to Ignite Metronome Prague Festival’s 10th Anniversary at New Letňany Airport Venue

The Metronome Prague Festival is poised to celebrate its landmark 10th anniversary in 2026 with a sensational headline performance by global music icon Sting. Bringing his acclaimed “Sting 3.0 Tour” to Prague, the legendary British musician is scheduled to perform at the festival’s new home, Letňany Airport, on June 21, 2026. This announcement marks a significant moment for the Prague festival, promising an unforgettable music event bolstered by a new partnership and an expanded venue.

A Decade of Music and Art in Prague

For ten years, the Metronome Prague Festival has been a cornerstone of the Czech Republic’s summer cultural calendar, offering a diverse array of musical talent and artistic experiences. As it embarks on its second decade, the festival is preparing for a major evolution. Organizers have revealed ambitious plans to elevate the 2026 edition, not only by securing world-class headliners but also by relocating to the expansive Letňany Airport. This move signifies a commitment to growth, providing a larger canvas for the festival’s increasingly significant presence in the European music scene.

Sting’s Electrifying Return to the Festival Stage

Sting, the multi-Grammy award-winning artist and former frontman of The Police, is no stranger to the Metronome Prague stage. He previously captivated an audience of approximately 14,000 attendees in 2017, delivering a performance celebrated for its hits and honest execution. For his 2026 appearance, Sting will showcase his “Sting 3.0 Tour,” a dynamic presentation featuring a stripped-down trio. Alongside his long-time guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas, Sting will deliver his timeless classics and fan favorites in an intimate yet powerful format. The tour has been praised for its ability to blend enduring hits with a fresh, energetic approach, underscoring Sting’s continuous relevance in the music industry.

A New Horizon at Letňany Airport

The 2026 Metronome Prague Festival will usher in a new era by relocating to Letňany Airport. This expansive venue, historically significant and now a recognized space for large-scale events, offers considerable capacity and accessibility, promising an enhanced experience for festival-goers. The move to Letňany Airport signals the festival’s growth and its aspiration to host even larger international acts and accommodate a growing audience, solidifying its position as a key destination for summer music events in Central Europe.

Forging a New Path with Live Nation

This milestone anniversary is further amplified by a strategic new partnership between Metronome Prague and Live Nation Czech Republic, a global leader in live entertainment. This collaboration is set to bring increased expertise, resources, and international booking power to the festival. “Our goal is to bring to the Czech Republic not only concerts but also music events with long-term impact,” stated Robert Porkert, director of Live Nation Czech Republic. This partnership aims to transform Metronome Prague into a defining summer event across Central Europe, offering a broader genre range, multiple stages, and an enriched accompanying program that integrates music with art, culture, and gastronomy.

Adding to the star-studded lineup, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have already been confirmed as another headliner for the 2026 festival. Their inclusion, alongside Sting, underscores the festival’s commitment to presenting a high-caliber and diverse range of artists for its tenth anniversary.
