Gong [FR/UK]

Facial Tumour Booking, in collaboration with Kirtimai Culture Centre, presents: One of the strangest and longest-running visions of psychedelic music, Gong from the United Kingdom, will land in Vilnius.

Since 1969, the band's founder, Daevid Allen, has channeled his spiritual, metaphysical, and cosmic ideas into the ever-evolving Gong collective, which has existed more as a mythological universe than a conventional rock band from the very beginning.

Daevid Allen assembled the current Gong lineup before his final album, I See You, clearly expressing his wish that Gong should not end with him. The band was invited to continue the journey "to new unknown heights and depths" – beyond anything Allen could have ever foreseen.

Over more than a decade, this lineup has become the most stable in Gong's entire history, writing, recording, and performing together after Allen's passing. Live, Gong remains a dynamic, expressive, and explosive force: psychedelic rock, cosmic improvisation, krautrock pulse, and jazz freedom merge here into a continuous, hypnotic flow.

Gong's music still embodies the band's original idea – freedom, experimentation, and constant forward motion, without succumbing to the mirages of nostalgia. This is not a museum legend, but an active, changing organism continuing its journey through uncharted sound horizons.
