Riga's Sound Forest Festival (Skanu Mezs in Latvian) offers a quirky line-up of unconventional and experimental musical anarchists, performing in the dockland Andrejsala area of the city.

The event originally started in 2000 at the Metro club in Riga, but now takes over two venues in Andrejsala - Pulkvedis (Joinery) Hall and Orbita (Electrical Shop) Hall, welcoming bands and artists from around the world.

In keeping with the progressive nature of the festival, a series of movies by avant-garde filmmakers includes works by Marcel Duchamp, Hans Richter, Fernand Leger and Harry Smith.

Keep an eye on the Skanu Mezs website for breaking news of the next festival, and the single shows organised throughout the year.
