BEZ ŠANCE FEST 2026

The twelfth edition of the Bez Šance Fest benefit music festival takes place on 24–25 July 2026 at Hospůdka "U Pavla" in Police nad Metují. The festival focuses on punk-rock, ska, rockabilly and hardcore genres and has been running since 2015. All proceeds from ticket sales go as a donation to the Department of Paediatric Haematology-Oncology at the Children's Clinic of the University Hospital Hradec Králové, one of eight specialized facilities in the Czech Republic providing care for children with malignant diseases. All performing bands play with minimized costs as an expression of support for the charitable cause. The festival has established a firm place in the Czech punk festival scene and with around 600 attendees ranks among medium-sized events of this type. The organizers are volunteers from across the Czech Republic who dedicate their time, energy and personal financial resources to the festival every year without expecting any compensation.

Eighteen bands will perform at the festival; confirmed acts include Bez Šance, Volant, SPS, Vision Days, Štamgasti and Habilis. The festival stands against violence, racism, xenophobia, extremism and animal cruelty.
