Prague Music Festival (Praha žije hudbou)

Prague Music Festival is a multi-genre festival of street art. Visitors are guided through it by Uličník (Masked Prankster). Every year more than 500 performances take place in streets and squares all over Prague. The Festival together with artists promotes the concept of art belonging to the streets! Last year’s edition saw about 60 thousand attendees.

The main goal of Prague Music Festival is to present street art to the general public, showing it in its best light, and thus jazz up the everyday life of the capital’s residents. Apart from music the streets of Prague promise performances by theatre groups and artistes . Anyone can enter the programme through the Be a Busker for a Day open call - the busker programme is the backbone of the whole Festival. Performers do not have to worry about violating city regulations - as what is normally prohibited in Prague is allowed during the Festival.

The Festival is also annually supported through performances given by renowned musicians from the Czech and foreign scene, such as for example the London duo Heymoonshaker, Prago Union, Lenka Dusilová, Laco Déczi, Irish multi-instrumentalist ROE, Xavier Baumaxa, Tomáš Klus, Vladimír Merta, Zrní, Aneta Langerová, the American rapper Infidelix, Indy&Wich and James Cole. The international programming interconnects professionals and amateurs, pouring its energy and inspiration onto the streets of Prague.

The long-term goal of the Festival is to change the overall negative attitude of the municipal council to street art.Broad support of the general public that Uličník (Masked Prankster) is trying to win is crucial for starting political discussions on amending city regulations.
