Other events in Baltic States

Besides Robert Plant, the celebrated British bands "Placebo" and "Kasabian" have also confirmed their participation in the "Positivus" festival this summer, as the organizers of the festival told LETA.

Furthermore, Manchester's contemporary rock quartet "Everything Everything", London's dark "underground princess" Charli XCX, as well as Bristol's trip-hop patrons "Lamb" will also perform at the festival.

"Kasabian" and "Placebo" are probably the most anticipated "Positivus" festival bands, and although the cult-rockers "Placebo" have already performed in Riga three times in the last decade, they still top the annual festival visitor band poll along with "Kasabian", said the festival's organizers.

"Placebo" have just embarked on an extensive tour, marking a two year period of retrospective activity leading into 2016 – "Placebo's" 20th anniversary. The band has also made their entire album back catalogue available on worldwide streaming services, such as "Deezer" and "Spotify", for the very first time. Proving time and time again that experience equals quality, "Kasabian" have gone from dance-rock outsiders to one of the biggest rock bands in Britain's history. "Kasabian" have also received numerous music awards, including the 2015 NME Awards for "Best Album" and "Best British Band".

The other additions to the vibrant festival line-up include the first-time "Positivus" visitors "Everything Everything", as well as recurring guests "Lamb" and the energetic Charli XCX. Baltic and Latvian audiences will also be familiar with two local acts set to perform this summer – "The Sound Poets" and "Triana Park".

The ninth "Positivus" festival, that will take place on July 17-19 in Salacgriva, will once again be an event of epic proportions for all quality music and wild party enthusiasts, say the festival's organizers. Along with the aforementioned bands, the festival will also host Robert Plant and the "Sensational Space Shifters", "St.Vincent", "Basement Jaxx", "Tom Odell", "Jungle", "King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard", "Max Jury", "Soak", and others.
