Glad to be back in Oslo! Huge thanks to Nordic Eurovision Party for an incredible event — it’s always a joy to sing together. We also caught up with our producer, Vegard, who gave us a sunny tour of his beautiful city.
BIG NEWS! The new album is coming on May 2! We’re listening to the songs in the car and vibing! You can already pre-order the album with signatures and even be a part of THE ROOP’s history – your name can be printed in the vinyl booklet!
Hello, this is Vaidotas. Let me tell you about a failed appearance. Recently, the Swedish national Eurovision selection, called Melodifestivalen, took place. The voting consists of both audience and jury points. The jury is made up of several countries, and I was invited to be one of the Lithuanian jury members and announce Lithuania’s points live on air.
Then the live show began—an amazing event, everyone was happy. We were in contact with Swedish TV technicians, checking that everything was fine. We got confirmation that everything was perfect. I was standing in the Lithuanian TV studio with my microphone on and a TV monitor in front of me, watching the event. The host announced that Lithuania’s points would be presented by Vaidotas from THE ROOP. I began my short speech…
And then I heard someone outside the studio doors loudly telling me to stop. I glanced at the TV monitor to see what was happening. Suddenly, I saw the broadcast showing the event’s host and the Lithuanian jury spokesperson’s window—but it wasn’t me!
What? How? Read the full story in the newest Roopsletter:
Have you ever tried it? It’s said that it’s impossible to evaluate these products neutrally – either you love them or you hate them. I tried "Marmite" when I was in the United Kingdom, and I tried "Vegemite" in Australia. These products have a really strong flavor! Have you tried them?
Happy birthday, Mantas! 🥳 Thank you for so many years of being together – through the tough times and the easy ones. We’ve gone through many challenges, but our friendship has withstood and blossomed even more! Congratulations!❤️🤝
We are celebrating! 🥳 We’ve finished recording our new album! All 10 songs are ready! We’ve been creating, recording, and selecting the best tracks for two years. Now, we are preparing for the next phase – music videos, album cover, and the presentation to all of you at the end of spring.
Our new album will be released in May! We just visited a vinyl factory. It’s time to explore all the possibilities. They showed us the production process, and we discussed packaging design and printing. We also checked out the variety of vinyl colors and technologies.

We held this kind of concert for the first time! It was the first time we had an all-seated audience, and the first time when people could become a part of the concert.
The social experiment was a success! We invited people to send us audio or written messages about love in advance. We showed these messages between the songs during the concert. There were so many interesting thoughts and stories! We laughed and we teared up. Some of the senders were in the audience and stood up to confess they had sent them - the crowd applauded. We felt that a very close connection was formed with everyone who came. Thank you all! This concert in Palanga will stay with us forever.
Lithuania, which raised us and which we are proud of. Happy freedom! Happy Restoration of the State of Lithuania Day!
It’s been five years since we released “On Fire.” Wow, time flies! There’s so much to say about that period. Ok, let’s talk about our trip to Germany.
One of the biggest highlights of the “On Fire” story took place in Germany. One day, we received an email from Germany’s national TV—they were planning an alternative Eurovision selection and wrote, “We have a crazy idea.” They wanted to invite us to perform live on their broadcast. During the COVID era, this seemed almost impossible, but we knew that a few flights were reopening, so maybe we could get tickets.
When flight tickets went on sale, everything sold out within minutes, and we were left with nothing! The only option was to travel to Tallinn, Estonia, and fly from there. But at the time, crossing national borders by car was prohibited…
2 days until the "Valentine On Fire" concert in Palanga! We are ready! The weather is also expected to be wonderful. So, after a walk by the sea, come warm up with us in the Palanga Concert Hall in the evening!
Every week, we release an exclusive video in which we talk about each song, invite you to our recording studio to see the creative process in action, and share extended snippets of the new tracks.
We decided to show what our weekly videos look like—even for those who still wonder if subscribing and supporting us is worth it. Here’s our gift - the unreleased song “Ayayai” and its story.
Join the social experiment of LOVE! We’ve decided to create a special platform where anyone interested can record a voice message of love, which will be played during a concert in Palanga.
Feelings or your most memorable experiences can be shared not only in audio but also in writing – the letters will be displayed on huge screens set up on stage. If you prefer to remain anonymous, you can do so.
We tell our stories through songs, so this time, let us tell your story, coloring it with music. It’s also important to note that all your messages will influence the flow of the concert. Want to see how this will unfold live? Join us on February 14th at the Palanga Concert Hall.
This could be a great chance to prepare a surprise for your loved one sitting in the audience, who will hear your voice or read your beautiful words on the screen. However, you can record anything – your thoughts on love, a personal special story, a memorable one-night adventure, or even a poem you wrote yourself. Messages are accepted in both Lithuanian and English.
Photo dump from various concerts. Thank you for singing along! That simple joy floods in when you see everyone coming together. Our next show is on February 14th at the Palanga Concert Hall (TICKETS).
This spring, we will release a NEW ALBUM! And leading up to its release, every week, we are sharing stories and exclusive previews of the new songs. We talk about how we create, show the process, and explain how a song comes to life and what’s behind it. We’re sharing a small video clip so you can see how it looks. All of this can be found in our newsletters. In addition to these videos, every week we also share interesting personal stories.
Not every day has to be filled with achievements.
Not every relationship has to be perfect.
Not every person has to prove something.
Just breathe in and allow yourself to be.
Sometimes the simplest solutions, like a sock, are the most effective 😉
Hi, this is Vaidotas, and I’d like to share a personal story that I believe will inspire you to see yourself in a new light.
I used to think my hands were ugly! I even learned to hide them by clasping them in a way that concealed my fingers, just like in the second photo.
But then one story changed everything. It’s hard to believe, but I became a hand model. My hands were needed for a watch commercial. Then for chocolate. Then for a beverage, a store, rings...
That’s when I realized: insecurities aren’t always real. They’re often imposters, disconnected from reality.
