Skaņu Mežs has shared the complete lineup for its 2025 event.
Among the final artists added to the bill for the Riga-based festival is SHAPE+ act R3YWYA, which is the noise-based moniker of Latvian Evija Ābrama. She will be bringing her eco-acoustic, improvisation-based sound to the event’s opening day on October 3.
Also newly added to the lineup are KAVARI; Laura Ortman; John Butcher & Bill Nace; and Matthew Biederman & Pierce Warnecke (with a piece specially commissioned by Skaņu Mežs).
They join the previously announced likes of These New Puritans; Shabaka Hutchings & Hamid Drake; Joan La Barbara; Sega Bodega; Fatboi Sharif; Kilbourne; and Muqata’a on the lineup for the Latvian festival.
Skaņu Mežs is one of a number of European festivals that participates in the SHAPE+ programme, which is a European Union-funded platform for innovative music and audiovisual art that supports various Europe-based artists working within experimental and electronic music each year.
