On March 3, the influential Canadian instrumental rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor will perform at Hanzas perons in Riga, Latvia, bringing with them the Irish musical duo One Leg One Eye from Dublin. Godspeed You! Black Emperor, recognized by music critics as one of the most significant rock collectives of the millennium, has maintained its relevance over more than two decades as it continues to produce self-assured and artistically uncompromising instrumental rock music with symphonic grandeur and structures that capture the spirit of the times.

The band, consisting of eight musicians, is driven by the artistic vision of Efrim Menuck, who has been a key figure in the band's evolution.

The presence of the Dublin-based duo, One Leg One Eye, is also exciting, as they contribute their unique style to the concert, making the event a noteworthy occasion for local music enthusiasts and a celebration of both Canadian and Irish musical talents in Latvia.
