Abii x Juodvarnis – Lukiškės Prison 2.0
On the evening of August 22, the Lukiškės Prison space will be filled with two different, yet internally similar, musical worlds.
These are "Juodvarnis" and "Abii"! The bands meet on stage like two directions of the same mood – one rising from the darkness and introspection of metal, the other from an alternative sound pulsing with layers of electronics and emotional tension. Both bands explore melancholy, inner states, and the human relationship with the environment in their own way, but they do so in different languages.
The bands promise that heaviness and fragility, noise and silence, external sound and inner experience will meet on the Lukiškės Prison stage.
Abii
"Abii" is an electronic rock duo from the seaside, behind which stand two close friends – Andrius and Tautvydas, who have been cultivating a shared creative vision together for almost a decade.
Their musical journey began with a victory in the young bands competition "Garažas", followed by their debut album "Vinegar". Later came a short silence, followed by a return with "Metanoiia", which marked an even darker, stronger, and more mature sound for the band.
"Abii" returns to the main stage of Lukiškės Prison with a fully grown album, sounding live exactly as their music should: intense, sensitive, and real.

Juodvarnis
These heavy music representatives are deservedly known as one of the leaders of this genre. We have already seen "Juodvarnis" in an acoustic format at the Church of St. Nicholas the Miracle-Worker. It is time to see what the men have prepared for the big stage!
Playing for a little over ten years, "Juodvarnis" has released three albums and traveled not only through Lithuania but also Europe. They have added not only essential alternative music festivals in Lithuania to their list of achievements but also the biggest one of them all – "Wacken Open Air" in Germany.
In January, the band released their fourth album, "Tékmés". With the sounds of the new album during the concert, "Juodvarnis" promises to lead listeners through the darkest and brightest corners of the soul.

This concert is presented by the cultural movement "Kalba plytos", and we thank them for it.
A synthesis of two different but close worlds awaits us.
Gates: 18:00 Start: 19:00
The Lukiškės Prison stage is the toughest in the Baltic states, and no one will argue with that. It cares about music and culture. The conversion of Lukiškės Prison immediately became a part of history, a cultural phenomenon, and the most successful tourism object in Lithuania. It is one of Vilnius' true prides, attracting not only locals but also guests from abroad and other tourists. It is impossible to feel the "vibe" of the new version of Lukiškės Prison without having been here. And those who have been confirm – it is something else.
Follow the concert and event calendar. Escape to prison.
The address and gates are clear. Lukiškių skg. 6, where else.
