Description was written before the event

Pražský výběr, a rock band founded in 1976 by keyboardist and vocalist Michael Kocáb, significantly influenced the Czech music scene with its new-wave aesthetic, satirical lyrics, and virtuosic performances.

The concert will feature the original line-up: Michael Kocáb, Michal Pavlíček, Vilém Čok, Klaudius Kryšpín, and Jiří Hrubeš.

About the venue: Kraví hora Amphitheatre

An open-air summer amphitheatre located in the rear section of the Kraví hora swimming complex in Brno. Set within a park with panoramic views over the city, it serves as an outdoor cultural stage. In summer months it hosts theatre and music performances – most notably the Summer Stage of Divadlo Bolka Polívky. The tradition of summer concerts and shows dates back to 2006.

About: Michael Kocáb

Keyboardist, composer and Pražský výběr frontman Michael Kocáb is one of the most distinctive figures in Czech music - his band carried the flag of domestic new wave at a time when the regime was trying to silence it. Beyond music, he made history as the man who negotiated the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Czechoslovakia.
