The Latvian indie rock four-piece 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, the energy of rock music and fresh tunes - lyrical songs and indie hits embody the bands enthusiasm and love for music. Their talent can be felt both on record and at the dynamic live performances. Their new record resembles Wolf Parade, Temples and Arctic Monkeys.

Both records have granted them a growing fan base all over Europe and critical acclaim. Their second album Propeller was released in April 1, 2016. It will be presented with an intense tour all around Europe.
