Carnival Youth
The Latvian indie rock trio Carnival Youth from Rīga, Latvia is one of the most successful new generation bands not only from Latvia, but also from the Baltic region, as endorsed by The European Border Breakers award at Eurosonic 2016.
The sound of Carnival Youth blends exciting melodies with the energy of rock - whether it is a sweet-sounding tune or a danceable hit. Their talent can be felt both on record and at the dynamic live performances.
Since the formation of the band in 2012, Carnival Youth have released four records - Never Have Enough EP, No Clouds Allowed, Propeller and Vienā Vilcienā (album with songs in Latvian). These records have granted them a growing fan base all over Europe and critical acclaim.
