In the year of the European Capital of Culture, we also welcome international artists in the Car-Free Avenue program. We are pleased to announce that on July 12th, the Latvian pop-rock band Sudden Lights will take to the stage, bringing youthful energy and a rocking vibe to the avenue!

Sudden Lights is one of the fastest growing, most sought after and streamed artists in Latvia. They play a combination of pop rock with slight indie touches. Band’s music is characterized by catchy melodies perfect for dancing with a melancholic note or two along the way, and it all permeates with youthful energy.

The band is comprised of Kārlis Vārtiņš (bass guitar), Mārtis Matīss Zemītis (percussion), Andrejs Reinis Zitmanis (voice) and Kārlis Matīss Zitmanis (guitar). The band was launched in 2012 and is still active.

In 2023, the band took part in the song contest Supernova 2023 organized by Latvian Television with the song Aijā, where they won 1st place, as well as the chance to represent Latvia in the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest. More about the band: https://www.suddenlights.lv/

Come with friends and have a great evening with good music!

The concert is FREE!
