On May 10, “Fontaine Palace” in Liepāja
Having sung with Ivo, shown herself in the X factor, Tipa is ready for solo concerts. Her voice can recall big names from the world’s pop music elite. Her music mostly revolves around pop and indie music fields, but, as befits a Liepāja woman, not being afraid of rockier guitars.
“Iron Wolf”
May 10 at “Fonoklub” in Cēsis
“Iron Wolf” is and remains a rock band, and rock has always been relevant in Cēsis. “Fonoklubs” is a wonderful place for such concerts. Such a good nineties feel. Real and unadulterated.

“Židrūns” https://www.lsm.lv/”Tesa”
On May 10, “Angāra”, “You already know where” in Riga
The mini-festival of alternative music, as the organizers have called it, is, of course, quite loud, but the fact that you will be able to listen to two proven values of Latvian alternative music “Židrūna” and “Tesa” cannot be denied. Data shows and people talk that nineties rock and grunge are coming into fashion among young people as well. You have to go and see if it really is.

Gacho
May 11 at “Silrak” restaurant in “Jūras vārti” theater house in Ventspils
Ventspils is also partying, however, the proximity of the sea seems to make people more wary of spring breezes and events are still sought in warm indoor spaces. Gacho and later the DJs are ready to offer a pop hip-hop energetic adventure.
“yards full of pigeons”
On May 11, in the Kokaru Hall of the Mežaparka Great Stage
Latvian alternative music cult group “Paložu pilni pagalmi” entered the Kokaru Hall of Mežaparka’s Great Stage concert series “Ceļabiedri”. 30 years on stage, thirteen albums and more. Appreciative words from music critics and, although not huge, a very loyal audience. There will also be guests at the concert – the younger generation group “Nielslens Lielsliens” with Vija Moori and Aija Alsiņa. May Maris Schwern and his blitz have a beautiful holiday!

Kari Ikonens – bicycle tour of Latvia
On May 12, in the Luznava manor
A Finnish pianist goes on tour with… an electric bike! Composer and pianist Kari Ikonen is also quite noticed on the European scale. A man who plays with Arabic scales and is not afraid to experiment is ready to meet his listeners in a special place in Latgale – the beautiful Luznava manor. This place is not afraid of fine music. The only remaining question is whether the pianist’s fingers will not be stiff from diligently holding the steering wheel on the not-so-smooth and bicycle-friendly roads of Latvia.
