REBEL RIOT is a four-piece hard ‘n’ heavy rock band from Riga, Latvia. Playing since 2007 they have worked themselves up to a great live reputation with their 70’s and 80’s inspired hard rock. This May they are embarking on a 14 concert tour around Central Europe.<\/p>\n

Like their previous European tour in 2017, this time they will be joined again by heavy rockers MADRED from Finland to share the stages in Lithuania, Poland, Germany, The Netherlands, Czech Republic and back home in Riga, Latvia at club ‘DEPO’ on May 18.\u00a0<\/p>\n

REBEL RIOT’s live shows will consist mostly of songs of their latest album ‘The Good, The Bad and The Heavy’ which was released in 2016 via ‘Thunderforge Records’ and was nominated as one of the best Latvian rock or metal recordings at local music awards ‘Zelta Mikrofons 2017’.<\/p>\n

Through out the years the band has had temporary band member changes. Now with Kristine Lokmane back at her drum throne REBEL RIOT are continuing to perform with the original line-up and are preparing to return back to studio work soon after the European tour. <\/p>\n
