On January 30, 2027, the final show of Latvian Radio 2’s annual poll of the most valuable pop and rock songs, “MUZIKĀLĀ BANKA 2026”, will once again take place at the Daugavpils Olympic Center. It will be one of the most important events of the year in Latvian popular music - a colorful, emotional, and musically grand show where the brightest solo artists, bands, and special guests of the past year will meet on stage. In an engaging, friendly, and musical contest, we will decide through an online vote which song will receive the title of the Most Valuable Song of 2026.
MUZIKĀLĀ BANKA is a popular Latvian music poll loved by Latvian Radio 2 listeners, in which the most valuable pop and rock songs of the week, month, and year are determined. The big final vote for the 25 most valuable songs of the year will begin at the end of 2026.
“All year long, the Muzikālā banka chart keeps pace with the vibrations of Latvian music - it is constantly changing, new songs are entering, leaders are shifting, and more and more new tracks are earning their place in listeners’ hearts. This year has also been rich in quality and diverse music in our native language, so we are confident that the battle for a place in the final show will be exciting right up to the very last moment. We are already eagerly looking forward to January, when in Daugavpils, on the radio waves and on screens, we will once again be able to be together and celebrate the brightest achievements of the past year in Latvian music,” says Kaspars Mauriņš, Director of Latvian Radio 2.
Dons took the laurels of “Muzikālā banka 2025” with the song “Tuvums”, second place went to Sudden Lights with “Lai tev apnīk skumt”, and Miks Galvanovskis placed third with the song “Kad izdzisīs”.
For the eighth year, the collaboration partner of the MUZIKĀLĀ BANKA final show is the city of Daugavpils, which is happy to host the biggest celebration of Latvian popular music.
