Belarus expatriate Dymna Lotva have released their celebrated show at this year's edition of the Latvian Zobens Un Lemess Open Air 2025 at the iconic Bauska Hillfort Park on 6 June.
Dymna Lotva's enigmatic singer, Katsiaryna "Nokt Aeon" Mankevich, writes: "Our first show in Latvia was full of contrasts: rough weather, sound issues, and even injured band members. Yet the energy of the fans and the support of old friends made it unforgettable. Sharing the stage with Leslie Knife from Gods Tower was a true honour. We had recorded a song together back in 2020, but only this year were we finally able to perform it live with him. Despite all the challenges, we're glad to share this video with you. Latvia, we'll be back soon!"
True to their word, Dymna Lotva will return to Latvia this October as part of their Baltic Sea Mini Tour 2025, supporting their current album, The Land Under The Black Wings: Blood (Зямля Пад Чорнымі Крыламі: Кроў). See below for all currently confirmed live dates. Link
