Metronome Prague and the Syd For Solen festival will not return for 2027. This decision cancels both popular international music gatherings for the duration of the year.
Why it matters
Organizers identified significant challenges regarding event quality and the practical difficulties of hosting metropolitan festivals in the current market. These concerns ultimately led to the decision to suspend operations for the upcoming year.
