Inaugurated in 2024 by the legendary jazz musician Branford Marsalis, Pink Noise Riga music festival offers a cocktail of world-class jazz, pop-rock, fusion, and contemporary improvised music. Festival’s main idea is to help Riga stand out & shine bright in Europe’s music scene.
The first two editions of Pink Noise Riga hosted jazz legend Branford Marsalis and Latvian Radio Big band, saxophonist and contemporary jazz giant Kamasi Washington, one of Latvia's most beloved pop music groups - Instrumenti, modern fusion band LUPA, the 2025 Great Music Award recipient’s Kārlis Auziņš Double Trio, and other stars.
Thank you, dear music lovers, for your company, thank you, dear Dongfeng Latvia, for your support (and best Chinese cars!), thank you, "Palladium concert hall" and "M/Darbnīca", for letting us shine!
Thanks to our partner Dongfeng and Riga Wine & Champagne, a marriage of champagne and world-class jazz was arranged at the Pink Noise “Bubble Lounge | powered by Dongfeng”. Pink Noise guests were able to enjoy over thirty different champagnes accompanied by live music. The champagnes - carefully selected to complement the festival performers’ music – were curated by the festival’s founder, jazz connoisseur, and author of the book Wine and Nords, Aigars Nords in collaboration with leading beverage importers of Latvia.
Created & developed by the team of Aigars Nords, CEO and founder of Rimi Riga Marathon and Riga Wine & Champagne, and Davis Jurka, director of Latvian Radio Big Band, Pink Noise Riga aims to bring some seriously positive musical vibes to the Latvian Capital while helping our beloved Riga stand out & sound bright.
