Fēlikss Ķiģelis Schedules Palladium Rīga Double Concert
Rock musician Fēlikss Ķiģelis has scheduled a double concert titled “Dziesmas no maniem 50” at the Palladium Rīga concert hall on February 20, 2027, featuring two completely different programs in a single evening, nra.lv reported. According to 1188.lv, the event serves as the conclusion of the musician’s jubilee year following his 50th birthday in February 2026 and subsequent tour stops in four Latvian cities and Oslo, Norway. The idea for the unusual format emerged after fans repeatedly requested songs that did not fit into the standard tour setlist.
“2026. gads man bija neaprakstāmi īpašs – februārī palika 50. Pirmie 50,” Ķiģelis told nra.lv, describing the milestone that sparked the initial anniversary events. When the band compiled requests from fans during the tour, the running list reached nearly 50 major tracks. Playing all of them in a standard single-concert format proved physically impossible, leading the group to split the massive volume into two distinct halves.
Palladium Rīga Setlist Split and Ticket Information
Attendees purchasing tickets via Biļešu paradīze can choose to attend either single performance or remain for both parts of the evening, according to 1188.lv. The musician explained the structure to nra.lv by stating that anyone visiting either concert will receive 100% authentic Liepāja rock energy. Those staying for the entire double-header can step out for coffee or dinner between sets before returning to the hall for an additional 20-plus tracks, mirroring an immediate encore request that yields a second full-length performance.
The billing pairs two distinct eras of Liepāja rock, combining Fēlikss Ķiģelis’s catalog from his 30-year career with prominent compositions by his father, Ēriks Ķiģelis, which form a core part of the city’s musical identity. 1188.lv noted that the dual-concert setup also offers a preview of material from Fēlikss Ķiģelis’s upcoming studio album, scheduled for release in the second half of 2027.
Excluded Tracks Scheduled for the February 2027 Stage
Despite packing roughly 30 songs into the recent tour’s standard setlist—including a newly arranged medley—the band could not physically fit several high-demand compositions into those performances, nra.lv reported. The February 2027 event will intentionally feature those omitted tracks, specifically naming “Samts,” “Vārdi,” and the heavily requested “Dziļi dzelmē,” alongside Ēriks Ķiģelis’s works “Zīlīte,” “Svēteli,” and “Elektriskā zivs” as detailed by 1188.lv.
The backing lineup supporting Fēlikss Ķiģelis on vocals and guitar consists of keyboardist Armands Zviedris, guitarist Ralfs Bergmanis, bassist Mārtiņš Leja, and drummer Matīss Bērzs, according to nra.lv. Both sources confirm that the organizers stress this specific double-concert format is a unique, one-time occurrence that will not be repeated.
