Kastaneda: arena show

Legendary group "Kastaneda" returns: after a dozen years – a one-off show at Žalgiris Arena on November 14 (Saturday)

After a break of over a decade, the legendary group "Kastaneda" is returning for a single, unforgettable evening – on November 14, one of the most brilliant concerts of the year will take place at the Kaunas Žalgiris Arena, featuring the group's most famous hits and listener-favorite songs.

"Sombrero", "Myliu", "Vakar vakare", "Truputį laimės", "Kelyje Vilnius – Kaunas", "Mūsų fiestos", "Pavasaris viską pakeis", "Vasarą įsimylėjau", "Nesiparink", "Laikas", "Viskas ko reikia" and many other tracks will for one night bring the audience back to the times when "Kastaneda" was one of the most beloved party bands in Lithuania. The group promises not only nostalgia but also an impressive show, the biggest party of the year with live sound, unexpected duets, modern audio and visual solutions, and the emotions that once accompanied almost every one of their concerts. Tickets for the KASTANEDA: ARENA SHOW performance will be available for purchase at all "Bilietai.lt" box offices and online at www.bilietai.lt starting Friday, May 15, at 8:00 AM.

The group was formed in 2002 and became instantly popular with the song "Vakar vakare". At that time, the duo consisted of performers Lukas Pačkauskas and Romanas Njejelovas-Kipishas, and in 2006, the latter was replaced by Donatas Baumila.

A return after a long break stirs up many emotions for the group members themselves – from nostalgia to pleasant excitement. Both performers admit that although there is still time until the concert, their thoughts are already revolving around the upcoming evening.

"Everything seems so incredible, but the desire is greater than ever. Memories are coming back, all the concert tours, crowds of people, the euphoria of performing in every corner of Lithuania. That time was wonderful – we were living a dream. And all of that will return for one single night," says Donatas Baumila.

"The feelings are very interesting and there are certainly many of them, knowing that this will be a huge performance after many years. There is excitement, joy, even a little bit of fear, but we are especially looking forward to this evening and sincerely invite everyone," says Lukas Pačkauskas.

The group members do not hide the fact that "Kastaneda" was not just a simple musical project for them, but an especially important stage of their lives. "Many years ago, the stage was a part of our life – we would get on it extremely often. Crowds of people no longer surprised us, but the adrenaline would always skyrocket. It was a very good feeling," recalls L. Pačkauskas.
