Meet the artists:
🌟mariin k. (Estonia)
Estonian dream pop outfit mariin k. are carving out their own space in the shoegaze revival through Mariin Kallikorm's vision of yearning soundscapes wrapped in cascading reverb. Their debut album rose skin, released in May 2025 via acclaimed Estonian indie label Seksound, earned praise from Darla Records as "a lush, introspective journey through shimmering guitars and ethereal textures." The band achieves a compelling balance between tremolo-drenched dream pop and jangle pop's melodic clarity. This is a set you don’t want to miss!
🌟Vultura (Latvia)
Vultura, a Latvian singer, songwriter and producer whose debut solo album Not Your Typical Fairytale (2022) blends drum 'n' bass with avant-pop, darkwave and synthpop elements. The album won two Latvian Music Record of the Year Awards "Zelta Mikrofons" and was recognised as one of the biggest surprises in the Latvian electronic music scene. In 2025, Vultura was nominated for the GAMMA Awards as Artist of the Year in the Electronic Dance Music category. Get ready for an electronic storm!
🌟 Plié (Lithuania)
Lithuanian Plié bring a relentless onslaught to the everyday chaos of the 21st century. The band's hardcore framework is embellished with industrial, electronic, post-rock and avant garde influences, awakening animalistic energy in their hypnotic live performances. Having performed at major European showcases including ESNS, Europavox and Tallinn Music Week, and opened for acts such as Xiu Xiu, Plié was nominated as Rock Band of the Year at the Lithuanian awards gala M.A.M.A.. If you love loud and powerful live shows, Plié will deliver!
