To exchange a soft bed for a tourist foam and a tent and go for three July days to the shore of the Gulf of Riga is capable of surely everyone, and certainly a fanatical music lover even more so - especially one who once was at the festival Pozitivus. This large-scale musical and cultural event of the Baltic has been held annually in Latvia since 2007.
The Pozitivus Music and Art Festival turns Salacgriva's fishing park into a huge campground - with dais and scenes, craftsmen's shops, cafes and grocery kiosks. Since 2013, Pozitivus has become a three-day festival, it was visited by more than 30 thousand tourists from all over the world.
Home at the festival - of course, music - alternative: rock, pop, rap, folk, punk, dance - genres are very diverse! As a rule, little known or even beginning bands and soloists from all over Latvia and Europe come to Pozitivus. Stars with world names at the festival a little: the headliners of Pozitivus in different years were Muse, Fatboy Slim, Moby. But in this, say the devoted guests of the festival, and the beauty of the Latvian musical marathon is to discover a new artist or group.
The date of the Positivus festival in 2014 is July 18-20.
