Pražský výběr is a Czech rock band founded in Prague in 1976 by keyboardist and singer Michael Kocáb. Starting out as a jazz-fusion act, the group reinvented itself at the turn of the 1980s as one of Czechoslovakia's most influential new-wave bands - which led the Communist regime to ban them between 1983 and 1986. After the Velvet Revolution, Kocáb entered politics and helped negotiate the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Czechoslovakia; the band reunited in its original lineup in 2012 and played Prague's O2 Arena in December 2016.
Pražský výběr performed a concert on April 4, 2025 at KD Ústí nad Labem, which attracted approximately 1,200 spectators.
In September 2024, the Prague court definitively convicted two former StB members who in 1983 caused the band's ban - they received two-year suspended sentences and monetary fines.
The band will perform on September 4, 2025 at the courtyard of Slavkov Castle near Brno together with the bands Bez ladu a skladu and Precedens.
A concert is planned for December 2025 at the Congress Center Aldis in Hradec Králové.
A concert is announced for December 2026 at the House of Culture in Liberec.
