GALVA FEST — Independent Youth Music Festival

GALVA FEST — an independent youth music festival — comes to Liepāja on 30 August 2026. Young people don’t need to be told what music to play. They have their own music and their own creative work. What they need is a stage.

The Baltic Playback Theatre and Psychodrama School organizes GALVA FEST with the support of its sponsors. The festival brings nine young bands together on one stage:

KIM TORI · FISHING BOY 666 · SALVETES IR ŠEIT · RASËNS · SERTRALIN · MELANHOLIKA · MOLRAGE · NUCLEAR CONFLICT · COLLOQUIUM

First, the festival opens with an exhibition of postmodern art. These are works by young authors who treat established forms, meanings and rules as something to argue with.

For the school, giving the next generation a real stage is part of a wider cultural mission. The goal is not to shape what young artists say, but to make sure they are seen and heard. In addition, the line-up spans a wide range of independent sounds. Together, they offer a snapshot of what Liepāja’s young musicians are creating right now.

All of this happens at the «Wiktorija» culture house. The venue sits in a former cinema building where Liepāja’s independent spirit lives on.

So come to look and to see, to listen and to hear. Support those who are already creating a culture of their own.
