🎶 What to listen to before the show
If you know Norman through the Smokie years, try the title track from Lifelines alongside something familiar, such as “Stumblin’ In”, his duet with Suzi Quatro. They give you two points of entry into the evening’s mix of new material and older songs. The artist’s tour calendar lists the Riga stop after shows in Estonia and Lithuania.
🕰️ Make the most of a Friday arrival
Leave enough time to reach Skanstes iela, particularly if you arrive in Riga the same afternoon. Put the arena address into your map and keep a copy of your ticket handy. Biļešu Serviss lists wheelchair places and no minimum age. Check the seller’s current conditions if you need an accessible seat or a ticket for a child.
