Do Not Miss
Banjo Jamboree 2025
28. 6. 2025
At the end of March, we’ll play in Brno at Stará Pekárna. This legendary music club with a rich program will dip into bluegrass waters and present the Roosters with two high-energy sets. Don’t forget to buy a ticket beforehand - they are cheaper that way!.
In Jablonec, during one packed evening, two bands will take the stage that play bluegrass very much in their own way and don’t worry too much about tradition. Rooster Riders, with their high-energy progressive bluegrass ranging from Punch Brothers to Rick Astley, will swap the stage with BG Bazar, where hearing AC/DC or New Grass Revival shouldn’t surprise you. We’re really looking forward to coming to Jablonec, the hometown of our banjo player Vojta!
As part of the annual concert series in the South Bohemian bluegrass capital, Velešín, Rooster Riders will be there this year. Get ready for two full-featured sets of the best we’ve got. Anyone who’s ever been to a show at Zlatá Růže already knows that killer atmosphere — and we’re damn sure the rest of you will feel it this year.
How many bands on the Czech bluegrass scene play Punch Brothers tunes? We know only two — us and Vacuum Ball — and this exact duo will deliver a stacked night full of bluegrass and related genres in Polička. You don’t want to miss this!
We’re really looking forward to a double concert with the Austrian country band Pickin' Tales at the legendary Brno jazz bar U Kouřícího Králíka. This year, Pickin' Tales received the “Newcomer award" from the Austrian Country Music Federation - so there's a lot to look for. Their traditional take on American country will make a great contrast to Kohouti’s progressive bluegrass set.
We’ve been included in the Open Air section of the multi-genre festival Regiony in Hradec Králové, where we’ll be playing in Žižkovy Sady in front of the big top by the fountain. We’re glad that bluegrass is represented at events like this. In our view, that’s the only way the scene can keep evolving in the long run. Come listen to us and enjoy the beautiful summer atmosphere!
It’s a huge honor for us to have been invited to Copenhagen to play a high-energy bluegrass night at the renowned club Karens Minde. A venue that has hosted many top bands will welcome us on June 26. And to make the evening even better, a special guest from the Netherlands will join us on stage – those who follow us closely might already have a good idea who it is…
We’re incredibly excited about the invitation to the Swedish festival Nääsville, where we’ll play alongside great European bands like Blue Weed and Dunderhead. You can catch us on Friday at 8 PM and on Saturday from 4 PM. We can’t wait for this new opportunity!
We’re really looking forward to heading to Kamenitá near Frýdek-Místek for the Mandolin Party festival, whose very first edition took place back in 1982. This legendary event has been a meeting point for bands with phenomenal mandolin players for decades. And since we have one of those ourselves, we obviously can’t be missing from this year’s lineup!
Bluegrass Theatre in Metylovice near Frýdek-Místek has a long-standing tradition on the Czech bluegrass scene, and we’re very happy to be returning after a one-year break – this time without Michal Wawrzyczek, but with our own Vojta Šlajs. We’re really looking forward to the festival, as its setting and atmosphere are always incredibly welcoming.
