(Motörhead)

(Prague, April 2009) No one knows whether the summer sky will indeed be cloudless, but a sky full of music stars is already guaranteed. Fans will be able to hear their favourite singers live as they visit the Czech Republic on their tours. In addition to the rich festival schedule, it is worth keeping track of individual concerts as well. And there is a lot to choose from: the British band Radiohead will play their first ever concert in the Czech Republic; both Limp Bizkit and Lenny Kravitz will be performing in June; and the event of 2009 will be Madonna live in concert, making her already second visit to Prague in the past three years.

The American group Limp Bizkit was once a real sensation. After a rocket start, however, there came problems: break-ups and quarrels. Hopefully all the problems have been exorcised, and the original line-up will come to Prague's O2 Arena. They will perform on 18 June 2008 as part of their world tour (tickets CZK 890-1,190).

In June, the Brno velodrome will come to life with an energetic performance by American multi-instrumentalist Lenny Kravitz. There, on 19 June 2009 under the open sky, he will perform hits from his latest album "It is Time for a Love Revolution" and more. In Brno, fans of the electric guitar can look forward to other names of high renown. On 4 July 2009, the British heavy metal legends Motörhead will perform here (tickets CZK 790-990).

American blues guitarist B. B. King recorded his first album back in 1949. On 15 July 2009, he should present his latest album, which is also to be his last. But considering that this eighty-year old doyen already said goodbye to his active once in 2006, who knows... (tickets CZK 900-2,700).

When Czech fans last had the occasion to see pop-music queen Madonna live, and even despite an added date, many missed out. This will not happen this year: up to 75 thousand viewers should fit in the open-air show in Prague-Chodov on 13 August 2009. On the commercially most successful tour in history, the singer will be accompanied by DJ and producer Paul Oakenfold (tickets CZK 995-7,995).

On 23 August 2008, Radiohead, led by charismatic singer Thom Yorke, will perform for the first time in the Czech Republic. As the band very rarely gives concerts in Central Europe, even greater interest in their open-air concert at Prague's Exhibition Grounds is expected (tickets CZK 1,090-1,740).
