Skaņu Mežs has added a second wave of acts to the bill for its 2026 edition.
Returning to Riga’s Hanzas Perons venue this October, the festival will newly take in a set from Smerz, who will be touring in support of last year’s album, Big City Life.
Also newly added to the lineup are Planet Mu affiliate Ship Sket; Lithuanian sound artist Augustė Vickunaitė; and veteran free jazz saxophonist Joe McPhee, who will perform with bassist John Edwards and drummer Klaus Kugel.
They join the previously announced likes of aya, Gudrun Gut, Krallice, and Charlemagne Palestine, Oren Ambarchi & Daniel O’Sullivan.
