To enrich the experience of visitors to the “Liepāja Art Forum,” the festival’s main events will be complemented by a program of accompanying events organized by cultural venues in the surrounding area. Information about upcoming events will be posted on the “Liepāja Art Forum”.

SEPTEMBER 25 | 8:00 PM | STIAN WESTERHUS & MAJA S. K. RATKJE | Veranda / 5 Kuģinieku Street
A concert in Liepāja by well-known and prominent Norwegian musicians—guitarist and vocalist Stian Westerhus and composer, keyboardist, and singer Maja Ratkje. This is the musicians’ first joint visit to the Baltic states, featuring songs mostly from their collaborative album "All Losses Are Restored".


SEPTEMBER 25 | 9:00 PM | LILACS & CHAMPAGNE DJs | Miezis & Ko. / Kuģinieku Street 5
Emil Amos and Alex Hall, founders of the American cult psychedelic and progressive rock collective "Grails" play weird music from weird records in their collections, accompanied by Friday night bar conversation.


September 26 | 10:00 PM | AFTER IS! | Valhalla Wine & Coffee / 24 Jūras Street
After the "The Reich Passage"—one of this year's "Liepāja Art Forum" highlights at the "Great Amber" Concert Hall—it's time to catch your breath. Just across the street, an unnamed guest from afar is set to step up to the DJ booth for a disco set... If we mention they're coming from Canada, that might help you guess. And if we tease yet another surprise, maybe you really ought to show up.


For several years now, we have been delighted to feature Liepāja Puppet Theatre performances as part of the forum, inviting families to experience new and exciting stories. This year, visitors are invited to three performances suitable for different age groups.

September 26 | 11:00 AM | EZĪTIS PUKSĪTIS UN NAKTSTAURIŅŠ VILIS | Liepāja Puppet Theatre
