On November 5-6, the first ever Riga Music Week festival and conference takes place in the Latvian capital. Plenty of Estonian artists are on the bill with a special section also dedicated to Tallinn Music Week (TMW).
The TMW evening at the Ezītis Miglās club in Riga’s Tallinn Street Quarter on Thursday, November 6, begins with a TMW reception for international music industry representatives and media, followed by live performances.
Estonia’s Alonette opens the show as she performs her acclaimed debut album “Compass” alongside guitarist Erki Pärnoja. Latvia’s Elizabete Balčus follows and the night closes with the relentless hardcore meets avant-garde of Lithuania’s Plié.
Across two nights, Riga Music Week will feature over 50 acts, with other Estonian artists on the bill including mariin k., NOËP, ALIKA, Erki Pärnoja, OOPUS and Andreas.
