Mark Ronson is one of the hottest music producers and DJs and on Friday night he will perform on the Lattelecom Stage with a DJ set created especially for the festival’s anniversary. The Uptown Funk hitmaker will replace Ellie Goulding who had been forced to pull out due to being unwell. Ellie Goulding sent a message for her fans in Latvia: “I am sorry I can’t be with you this weekend. I am unwell and have been advised not to fly. I was excited about these gigs so will hopefully be back next year.”

Not only is he a successful producer, but also a talented solo artist and DJ who feels free in variety of musical genres – starting from hip-hop and electronics to alternative rock. He has collaborated with artists like Kaiser Chiefs, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Robbie Williams, Lilly Allen, Christina Aguilera, Macy Grey, Duran Duran and many more. Mark Ronson set the Positivus Main stage on fire back in 2011, when he performed with his band Mark Ronson & The Business Intl.
