Respect Festival 2026
Respect Festival, the most significant year-round world music festival in the Czech Republic, is launching advance ticket sales for its 29th edition! Once again, you can look forward to the most diverse mix you won’t hear anywhere else, from disappearing traditions to contemporary global fusions, from veterans of the genre to hot newcomers, from infectious dance music to experimental and jazz. The festival will culminate on June 13 and 14 with a two-day open-air show on Štvanice Island. Respect Festival is dedicated to Karel Schwarzenberg, who was there at its inception. František Skála is once again the creator of this year’s visuals.
You can look forward to some big surprises, which we will begin to reveal in the coming days.
