Instrumenti
The first and only concert performance in Riga this summer, accompanied by an impressive group of instrumentalists.
“Instrumenti” – one of Latvia’s most beloved pop-rock bands. Their sound has introduced a variety of exciting, modern shades – from electropop and pop-rock to rock, indie, and bold genre-crossing “experiments” loved by fans across Latvia and beyond. The group’s leaders, Jānis Šipkēvics and Reinis Sējāns, will be joined at the “Pink Noise Riga” concert – their first and only live performance in Riga this summer – by an impressive full backing band.
