The Cure is one of the most celebrated and enduring bands in contemporary music history. Since their formation in 1978, they have released a series of critically acclaimed albums and become synonymous with innovation in alternative and gothic rock. With a career spanning nearly five decades, their influence continues to resonate across generations of artists and fans alike.<\/p>\n

Alina Orlova<\/strong> is one of the most distinctive and striking creators in Lithuanian alternative music, known for her poetic language and a dreamlike, unmistakable voice that feels like a story echoing from afar. Her music carries hints of modernised folklore and sung poetry, with arrangements that at times take on a cabaret-like quality, valuing silence as much as sound and luring the listener closer with a ghostly subtlety.<\/p>\n

The alternative rock band Katarsis<\/strong> experiments with post\u2011punk, indie and other musical styles. In 2024, the band released the EP\u00a0Dausos<\/em>, followed in January 2026 by their first full\u2011length album\u00a0\u017diedlapis tau<\/em>. In 2025, Katarsis represented Lithuania at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song\u00a0Tavo akys<\/em>. Since then, they have toured Europe several times and are currently working on new music while planning more performances both in Lithuania and abroad.<\/p>\n

The upcoming concert in Vilnius promises to deliver an expansive setlist spanning the band\u2019s illustrious catalogue. Known for their immersive live shows, The Cure continue to captivate audiences worldwide with performances that blend nostalgia and emotional intensity.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":233713,"template":"","categories":[6,4,14],"tags":[],"ticket-vendor":[21],"class_list":["post-230752","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-festivaliai","category-koncertai","category-po-atviru-dangumi","ticket-vendor-bilietai-lt"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
