It is interesting that the stage allows us not to separate, but to unite with everyone. We are indescribably grateful to everyone who comes to our shows!
Vaidotas and Nombeko Augustė Duet
We are preparing a new duet with the large LNOBT orchestra for the special Vilnius city event “Jaunas kaip Vilnius” (“As Young As Vilnius”). On July 25, in Vingis Park, you will hear Vaidotas and Nombeko Augustė perform a well-known Lithuanian song in a new way. What it will be is a mystery for now.
Before that, Vaidotas will present THE ROOP’s song “On Fire,” which will be played together with the LNOBT orchestra.
Vaidotas notes that although “Discoteque” has already been performed with various orchestras, “On Fire” will be performed with a large orchestra for the first time.
Nombeko Augustė’s song “Mane Pamiršai” will also be performed in this format for the first time.
Rehearsals are starting, and it won’t be long before you can hear everything in concert. As far as is known, the event will be filmed.

Different but united ❤️🇱🇹☀️
It happened! The multi-thousand crowd that gathered in Vingis Park (Vilnius, Lithuania) and sang the National Anthem left behind a sense of community. Different but united - I think that could be a slogan. Thank you!

Beyond Music - We Thought It's Over
Bad situations often lead to good ones. We were told that we were too old, uninteresting and nothing would come of it.
Just A Man In Nature
Not on stage, not in a photo shoot, not wearing designer clothes, not in a fancy environment. Just a man in nature.

Visiting Jakiškių Manor
We are still amazed by Lithuania, its brave and hardworking people who fulfill their big dreams. Here is one of the examples: the owners of the @jakiskiudvaras manor many years ago bought a completely abandoned and ruined manor, which they are bringing back to life with their own strength and hands💪 We were invited to stay for a while between concerts. Vaidotas is a big fan of architecture, mansions and history, so we really couldn’t miss such an opportunity.
Guess Who? - Favorite Band Coldplay?
Let’s play a game. In the “Guess Who?” videos Mantas will reveal more and more about the hobbies, experiences and details of each of us. Let’s go!
Uncertainty is your stage, not your cage.
To live comfortably in unpredictability. It has to be learned, we almost did it. In our profession, there is often a lot of uncertainty, instability and you have to learn not to lose your head. You’ll find peace when you look into uncertainty as a form of empowerment. Life is not just about tolerating unpredictability, but mastering the art of thriving within it. Uncertainty is your stage, not your cage.
