«Tautumeitas» performs at Pohoda festival in Slovakia alongside global stars
Latvian ethno-pop band «Tautumeitas» performed at the prestigious Pohoda festival in Slovakia in July 2026, sharing the lineup with acts like Gorillaz, The Cure and The Prodigy. In September, the group will embark on their first European solo tour.
The Latvian ethno-pop group «Tautumeitas» took the stage at the Pohoda festival in Slovakia over the past weekend—one of the most significant music events in Central Europe, attracting tens of thousands of visitors annually. This year's festival program featured the Latvian artists alongside international stars such as Gorillaz, The Cure, The Prodigy, Lykke Li and IDLES.
The performance at Pohoda has become a major stepping stone in the band's international career. On one of the festival's stages, «Tautumeitas» introduced a global audience to their ethno-pop sound, blending Latvian folk elements with contemporary pop music. In September 2026, the group will embark on their first European solo concert tour, performing in Warsaw, Berlin, Prague and Vienna.
«The past year has reminded us that music truly has no language barriers. It is touching to see how many people around the world sing along to our songs in Latvian and want to discover Latvia through our music,» the band members said. «We carefully planned this tour, choosing places where we already feel strong interest in our music and see an opportunity to build a long-term connection with listeners. We hope this will be just the first of many European tours.»
