galeniex – Palladium Rīga, November 28, 2026
On November 28, 2026, galeniex will perform his first solo concert at Palladium Rīga. This will be the most ambitious milestone in the rapper’s career to date. The concert will feature songs from his second full-length album, “Biennāle”. The programme will also include audience favourites “Zemais Starts”, “Gatavojos īpaši” and “tērēt, ne krāt”. Ernests Galenieks, known as galeniex, has established himself in Latvia’s hip-hop scene with a distinctive and recognisable musical language. His work is defined by multilayered lyrics, unusual song structures and the combination of diverse musical elements. This approach can be heard clearly on his 2024 debut album, “Vernisāža”. The album received the “Zelta mikrofons” award in the “Best Debut Album” category. galeniex is also the winner of the fifth season of the rap battle “371 Battle”. Together with the production collective reivs, he released the mini-album “ambrāža” in 2025. It combines hip-hop with electronic dance music rhythms, continuing the artist’s experiments with sound.
