BILDES 2026's concert "PIRMOREIZ “BILDĒS”" takes place on 30 October 2026 at VEF Kultūras pils in Riga. The event features at least ten new bands who have not previously performed at the "BILDES" festival, collaborating in special projects with well-known Latvian musicians. Each new group will perform their own original song, as well as a specially arranged song by a festival veteran, together with its author or original performer. Audiences can expect unique blends of musical styles and generations sharing the stage. Special guests include Zane Dombrovska with “Kumosiņš” and Juris Kaukulis with members of “Atkala”. The event will be hosted by Horens Stalbe. Please note that photography and filming will take place during the concert and the programme is subject to change.
