The idea of our hit "Discoteque" originated in a wooden cabin surrounded by forest and silence. The work continued very quickly and creativity flowed freely.
Opening For Ed Sheeran +-=÷× 2024 Tour
BIG NEWS! We are thrilled to announce that we will be the opening act for Ed Sheeran in Kaunas! It is a great honor to share the stadium stage with him. We have been following Ed’s career for a very long time and have great respect for his creativity, achievements, and warm human interaction.
Interestingly, we once took a picture with a cardboard cutout of Ed Sheeran, thinking of the day we would meet him in person. It seems that dream is about to come true. We are very close to making it a reality.
MORE NEWS. We are preparing our show program, and to make it even more exciting, we have decided to include two brand new songs by THE ROOP that are not available on any music platform. We want to make this warm-up concert unique.
Join us on August 3 and 4 in Kaunas, Lithuania, at the Darius and Girėnas Stadium!
Have A Good Week!
This week is going to be amazing. This week will bring news. This week will allow to see new opportunities. This week will be full of colors of life. It’s not just about us, it’s also about you. Have a good week!

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.

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.
