For more than three decades, Fear Factory have remained one of the most important and influential bands in heavy music. Led by guitarist and co-founder Dino Cazares together with vocalist Burton C. Bell, the band developed a sound that combines industrial coldness, mechanical precision, and extreme metal aggression with a strong melodic edge. This unique blend has inspired an entire generation. As Metal Hammer once wrote, "Fear Factory introduced an entirely new direction in metal that still sounds relevant today."

The band was formed in early 1990s Los Angeles, at a time when social tension and rapid technological development created fertile ground for new ideas. From the very beginning, Fear Factory explored the relationship between humans and technology in both their music and visual identity, creating a dark, dystopian vision of the future. Cazares' precise guitar work, combined with Bell's contrasting vocals, ranging from brutal growls to melodic passages, raised the question of whether this was still human-made music or something beyond. Among their influences, alongside heavy music contemporaries, Fear Factory have cited Paul McCartney from "The Beatles" and "Wings", as well as Black Sabbath's 1970s albums. As a notable compliment, Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward once said in an interview on VH1 Classic's "That Metal Show" that Fear Factory is one of the bands he would personally like to play in.

One of the band's cornerstone releases is "Demanufacture", which Kerrang! described as "still sounding as fresh and devastating as it did upon release". It was followed by albums such as "Obsolete", "Digimortal", and "Genexus", while their latest release, "Aggression Continuum", marks a new chapter in the band's evolution. As Cazares explains, it represents "the moment when the past transforms into the future", a natural continuation of the sound and ideas developed over three decades. This evolution has also been shaped by lineup changes, including a new vocalist. With Milo Silvestro now taking over vocal duties, Fear Factory bring renewed energy and a fresh perspective to both their sound and live performances.

Fear Factory concerts are known for their intense energy, flawless precision, and immersive atmosphere. They offer an audiovisual experience that leaves no one indifferent. The "Cybernetic Domination Tour" promises a setlist that combines the band's most popular tracks with newer material, delivering a show that will resonate with both long-time fans and a new generation of listeners.

Nancy Boy, Teenage Angst, 36 Degrees, Every You Every Me, Pure Morning, You Don't Care About Us, Without You I'm Nothing are the pieces that so directly, poignantly, provocatively addressed thousands back then and now form a significant part of Placebo's golden hit fund.

 In the mid-90s, Britpop dominated Britain, and Placebo burst into this environment like a draft through a wide-open balcony door. Teenage maximalism, provocative directness, the boundaries of flowing sexuality, mental health, intoxicating substances – the lyrics openly discussed everything that was certainly relevant to young people, but did not dominate the pop music of the time.

Recalling that period, the band's frontman Brian Molko especially emphasizes the song Nancy Boy:

“We were reacting very strongly against the machismo, terrace chants and revisionism of Britpop, and the nationalism that we interpreted as xenophobia of the musical kind. We were trying to make a strong political statement about the fluidity of sexuality with the dresses and make-up that we wore. We set out to confuse, and I guess Nancy Boy was the perfect soundtrack to that.”

Brian Molko's provocatively ambiguous androgynous image added fuel to the rumors and judgments. But the gold status of his debut album "Placebo" and the platinum status of their second album "Without You I'm Nothing" - confirmed sales of more than a million copies - clearly proofed that a new bright star had appeared in the sky of alternative rock.

Celebrating the third decade of their debut, a special remastered version of the album, "Placebo RE:CREATED", is available to pre-order from March 18^th. The new record features reworked and embellished versions of all ten tracks from the original album plus two bonus tracks from the original release, capturing the way these songs have evolved across decades of performance while retaining the raw spirit that defined them. These new recordings amplify the urgency and attitude that made the originals resonate so strongly, while reflecting the band’s growth and experience in the years since their debut. Speaking about the new record, Placebo explain:

“We think of this record as a director’s cut. We haven’t recreated it from scratch. We went back to the original master tapes and brought 30 years of playing these songs live back into the record.

This project was about finally finishing the record, dragging it into the 21st century sonically, while preserving the integrity and the spirit of the original. It’s not about improving it, there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s about completing it.

 Placebo was founded in 1994, when singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Brian Molko met guitarist and keyboardist Stefan Olsdal and the duo is still  the constant core of the band.

Placebo are one of the defining alternative rock bands of the past 30 years, with 14 million albums sold to date worldwide. All 8 of the band's studio albums have reached at least the top 20 of the UK charts. 15 of their singles have reached at least the top 40. During their career, the band's musicians have gone on several sold large-scale concert tours, performed headline slots at prestigious festivals on both sides of the Atlantic, and have received acclaim from both critics and fans.

Beloved around the world for his voice, soul, and stories, singer, songwriter, and pianist John Legend needs no lengthy introduction. His songs have soundtracked thousands of love stories, marked life-changing moments, and offered warmth and comfort in times when the world felt too heavy. Now, fans in Estonia will have the rare chance to experience the man behind the music up close, as John Legend brings his “An Evening of Songs & Stories” to Tartu Song Festival Grounds on July 8, 2026. 

Tickets go on sale on February 12 at 10:00 via the Biļešu Serviss network. Members of the Positivus Festival and FBI Concert Club will have access to a presale in all price categories starting February 11 at 10:00, using a code sent to registered users. 

This evening promises to be a deeply personal musical narrative, a journey woven from songs, memories and candid reflections that allows the audience to feel especially close to the artist. Through the most significant songs of his career and intimate stories, John Legend will look back on a path that began in small churches and recording studios and, through perseverance and belief, led him to the world’s most prestigious stages. 

Born John Roger Stephens, John Legend’s journey in music began quietly, playing piano on Lauryn Hill’s song "Everything Is Everything" and singing backing vocals on recordings by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. A defining breakthrough came with his 2004 debut album "Get Lifted" and its standout track "Ordinary People", which immediately set itself apart with its stripped back piano sound and disarmingly honest lyrics, a stark contrast to the chart trends of the time. "I always felt my job wasn’t to sound like everyone else. People told me this song made them stop, because it was so different," Legend has reflected. 

Beyond music, John Legend has appeared in film, performed on Broadway, taken part in television projects and achieved the prestigious EGOT status, a testament to his remarkable creative range. Yet despite countless accolades, the connection with his audience has always remained paramount. "It feels like my purpose in life is to lift people up," he once said, a sentiment that resonates especially strongly in a concert built around shared listening and storytelling. 

Known for his rare ability to transform even the largest venues into intimate spaces, John Legend’s "An Evening of Songs & Stories" on July 8, 2026 in Tartu promises a thoughtful, warm and profoundly human concert experience, where music, memory and storytelling merge into one unforgettable whole.

A$AP Rocky (real name Rakim Mayers) began his journey in music at just 8 years old. Since then, he has become one of the most influential artists of his generation. Born and raised in Harlem, New York, Rocky saw music in his early youth as a means of escape from a challenging social environment. This personal experience is strongly reflected in his creative work, which stands out for its bold style, breaking of genre boundaries, and unique aesthetic, significantly influencing both the music and fashion worlds.

A$AP Rocky developed his artistic identity as part of the creative collective A$AP Mob, which became a crucial launching point at the start of his professional career. He gained wider recognition in 2011 with the critically acclaimed mixtape “Live.Love.A$AP,” giving a new sound to East Coast hip-hop. This was followed by his debut album “Long.Live.A$AP,” which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and later achieved double platinum status. The album’s hit “F**kin’ Problems” was nominated for a Grammy Award. His subsequent albums “At.Long.Last.A$AP” and “Testing” also received widespread attention, standing out for their experimental approach, strong visual identity, and artistic boldness.

Throughout his career, A$AP Rocky has collaborated with a range of world-renowned artists, including Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and 2 Chainz, as well as Gucci Mane, 21 Savage, and FKA twigs. He has also participated in A$AP Mob projects alongside artists such as Playboi Carti and Frank Ocean. Repeatedly demonstrating his ability to combine the seemingly incompatible, Rocky has created popular and critically acclaimed works beyond the traditional framework of hip-hop, sampling songs by musicians such as Tame Impala and Moby.
A$AP Rocky has received multiple industry awards, including BET and MTV awards, and has been nominated for the Grammy music award three times. In addition to his work as a musician, he has directed music videos for himself and other members of the A$AP Mob collective, and also produces music under the pseudonym Lord Flacko.

Beyond music, A$AP Rocky is also actively involved in the fashion and creative industries. He is the creative director for the brands Ray-Ban and PUMA and has taken part in campaigns for several international brands. Rocky’s founded creative agency AWGE has carried out collaborations with leading fashion and culture brands and has also fostered the career development of new artists. In June 2025, AWGE presented its collection at Paris Fashion Week for the second year in a row, receiving broad international acclaim.

A$AP Rocky’s performance at the 2022 Positivus Festival brought together twenty thousand fans in one place. The American superstar’s concert on September 24 at Xiaomi Arena in Riga will be a unique opportunity to experience a full-scale solo concert in Latvia for the first time. This evening promises to become one of the brightest and most energetically charged hip-hop events in Latvia this year!
