In 2019, Twenty One Pilots sold out the O2 arena, and they want to repeat this success on April 12th. The American music duo Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun, whose work sits on the border between alternative rock, indie pop and rap, will present fans with their latest album, Clancy.

For the first time ever, three-time Grammy Award winner pop star Dua Lipa will perform in Czechia. As part of her Radical Optimism tour, she will play two concerts in Prague's O2 Arena in late May. The 29-year-old British-Albanian singer will perform songs from her third studio album of the same name.
Then, in early June, another biggest star in the pop world, Billie Eilish, will come to perform with songs from her third album Hit Me Hard and Soft.
After less than a year, British singer Robbie Williams is returning to Czechia. "This whole tour will be my most daring. I can't wait to see you next year. There will be songs from the movie Better Man and some new music. More on that soon," he said ahead of the tour.

The Boss himself, American music legend Bruce Springsteen, will play for his fans on June 15th, having had to postpone a concert in 2024 due to health problems with his vocal cords. The multiple Grammy winner will return to the Czech stage after thirteen years.
