After a break, this summer Positivus festival was held in Riga for the first time, where the performances of several superstars - including A$AP Rocky, Megan Thee Stallion, etc. - were experienced with unprecedented public energy. Several music reviewers from foreign media publications wrote about the festival:
MEDUZA, RUS
“Design part, sound, convenience - at the highest level. Great selection of food and drinks at totally low prices. Market of modern designers. Feeling of complete security. Young and not at all aggressive audience. And most importantly - an excellent line up. Behind this, you can see smart curatorial work and rather uncompromising selection. The main principle: only young and promising artists whose stars have risen in the most recent time (3-5 years maximum). The feeling of freshness and energy is indescribable.”
ROLLING STONE, DE
“Positivus festival lived up to its reputation as the Coachella in the Baltics. Riga can offer a green island in the middle of an otherwise very lively and attractive city. Positivus festival took place along the river on the island in Riga for the first time. The countryside flavor in the Baltic province with, at best, a charmingly improvised infrastructure, is a thing of the past. The new site with four stages and chill-out, gastro areas can now be reached on foot from the city centre.”
CLASH, UK
“After its inaugural instalment in 2007, Positivus has become a staple for Latvian music lovers and tourists who flock to the Baltic state since its inception. Tucked away in the city of Riga, alongside the Daugava river, Positivus is a far cry from the typical hustle and bustle of a city festival. Over the years the festival has hosted artist such as Imagine Dragons, Disclosure and Ellie Goulding. This year’s inauguration is the first since 2019, due to the pandemic, and it was certainly worth the wait.“
