The Latvian band Prāta Vētra will perform at the Midsummer (Jāņi) festival in the United Kingdom on 18 June 2027, organised by the Latvian diaspora group Bērzes Strazdi. The organisers announced the news. The festival lets Latvians living abroad mark the summer solstice together, and it draws several thousand attendees every year.

Programme

Prāta Vētra will take the festival's main stage next summer. The organisers describe the group as one of Latvia's best-loved bands, and say songs such as Lidmašīnas and Mana dziesma have become an integral part of Latvian musical life.

Visitors will hear both familiar favourites and tracks from the band's latest album, Pūķa lietošanas instrukcija.

Message from the organisers

The organisers say they are glad and proud to host the band on their stage. They encourage attendees to get their voices ready, as the evening is planned as a time to sing along and celebrate together.

Tickets for the festival are already available through a link provided by the organisers. No other details about the festival programme or additional performers have been published so far.
