According to Sandis Mohovikovs, producer, the “ROKS PAR BRĪVĪBU” festival returns to the Skrundas Pilskalna estrāde on August 22 to mark its third anniversary, expanding from a localized rock concert into a full-scale multi-audience festival. The event unites Latvian rock legends, regional communities, and emerging musical talent, backed by support from the Kuldīgas novada pašvaldība and ticket sales via the “Biļešu Paradīze” network.
Evolution of the Skrunda Rock Festival
What started as a localized gathering has expanded significantly over its three-year history. According to organizers from the production company ART MANAGEMENT GROUP, the initiative aims to build a sense of community and strengthen local cultural tourism within the Kuldīga municipality. The event’s growth transforms a single-day regional concert into a prominent cultural fixture drawing attendees from across Latvia.
New Talent Competition and Lineup Highlights
A primary addition to this year’s schedule is a competition for emerging artists held during the day. According to festival organizers, this segment offers rising talents a platform to perform on the same stage as established Latvian rock acts. The evening lineup features performances by “Dzelzs Vilks”, “Pienvedēja Piedzīvojumi”, “R.A.P.”, and Miks Galvanovskis. Additionally, the festival introduces a newly formed musical collaboration named “Mr.Rally”, uniting musicians from the groups “R.A.P.” and “Full House”.
Did you know?
According to “R.A.P.” soloist Artis Dvarionas, members of the band attended underground rock festivals in Skrunda during the 1990s as aspiring musicians, hoping to one day perform on the local stage. Decades later, that long-held ambition is realized as the Kuldīga-born musicians return to perform both classic tracks and newer material.
