Carnival Youth is a Latvian indie band best described as a mix of lazy Sunday afternoons and curious adventures in the furthest synth parties of the galaxy. Their lyrical songs and indie hits reflect a view of the world rooted in raw realism but ultimately radiates hope - an element encapsulated in empathy and optimism. 


Since the formation of the band in 2012, Carnival Youth have released six records – “Never Have Enough” EP, “No Clouds Allowed”, "Propeller", "Vienā vilcienā", “Good Luck” and “Naivais ku-kū”, which consists of songs from classic Latvian films in new and fresh indie arrangements.

The band has spent the last two years touring their homeland playing over 100 shows in every corner of Latvia with the “Naivais ku-kū” programme.

The boys’ undeniable talent and relentless dedication have taken them beyond their homeland's borders, gracing stages at prestigious festivals and venues across Europe and beyond, including SXSW, Sziget, Open'er, NME Club Night and many others.

The band has toured Europe multiple times and played their first four shows in France in 2022, including their first one in Paris in Le Supersonic.

Carnival Youth have received multiple awards for their music in Latvia, including the "Album of the Year" award in 2016 for "Propeller", as well as The European Border Breakers award at Eurosonic 2016.
