45 New Acts in the RfP 2027 Lineup

The third confirmed headliner is the Australian metalcore sensation Parkway Drive, which will deliver a thrilling, pyrotechnics-packed show on Friday, June 4, 2027. The legendary American band Evanescence, led by the charismatic singer Amy Lee, will serve as the special guest. The newly announced lineup features over 45 artists.

More than half of the tickets for Rock for People are already sold out, and one-day tickets are now available for those interested in specific days. Tickets are available here. 

Indie-pop sensation Bastille, BRIT Award winners, Grammy nominees, and creators of three No. 1 albums on the UK Chart, will also delight fans with their return following their last festival performance in 2015. The genre scene will also be shaken up by the unique Dutch phenomenon Joost, who has been taking European stages by storm in recent years with his energetic mix of rap and electronic music, after capturing global attention in 2024 at Eurovision with the hit “Europapa”. Rounding out the lineup is Canadian pop-punk staple Simple Plan.

The darker and heavier parts of the lineup will be handled by German thrash-metal legends Kreator, who defined Europe’s response to American thrash metal in the 1980s and remain one of the most prominent faces of German metal to this day. Also on the lineup are French synthwave audiovisual wizards Carpenter Brut, metalcore stalwarts The Devil Wears Prada and Novelists, and the metal band Orbit Culture. The emo scene will be represented by the popular Hawthorne Heights or Hot Mulligan.

Among the hottest acts set to appear in the lineup are, for example, Showing Teeth, who blend progressive metalcore with deathcore.
