Roe Deer Pulls Out of Positivus Festival

New Latvian Pop Sensation Emilia to Debut

Festival-goers anticipating a performance by Latvian pop artist Roe Deer at this year’s Positivus festival will be disappointed. The musician confirmed via Instagram that they have withdrawn from the lineup.

Reason for Withdrawal

Roe Deer cited insufficient time for preparation, stating that the few months available were too short to put together a full 45-minute set. This decision impacts the festival’s schedule.

Emilia Steps In

Stepping into the void is Emilia, a rapidly emerging talent in Latvian pop music. This will mark her debut at the prestigious Positivus festival. Her profile rose significantly in 2023 following her participation in X-Factor.

Emilia also gained recognition this year for her performance in the “Supernova” competition, where she secured a commendable second place with her song “Heartbeat.” Her inclusion promises a fresh addition to the festival’s roster.

The Positivus festival is scheduled to take place on August 8th and 9th in Lucavsala, Riga. Tickets are still available for the highly anticipated event, which is a cornerstone of Latvia’s summer music calendar. According to a recent report, European music festivals saw a 30% increase in attendance post-pandemic in 2023, indicating a strong public appetite for live music experiences. (Statista, 2023).
