Vilnius Mayor Remigijus Šimašius has promised to hold an open-air disco in the capital if Lithuania wins this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. Having won the national team for the second year in a row, The Roop with the song “Discoteque” is already considered one of the leaders of the competition and has a real chance to bring victory to Vilnius.
The Vilnius director has promised to organize an open disco under the stars if this year’s Lithuanian representatives The Roop and his work Discoteque will be crowned as winners of the Eurovision Song Contest 2021. An event called Open Discoteque would be organized, alluding to the title of the song “Discoteque”, complying with all the security requirements in force at that time.
“I have no doubt that The Roop has every chance of winning Eurovision this year. The promise of an open-air disco is our proof of our special faith in victory and our support for this group. If” The Roop “brings the title of the winners, we will make Vilnius the largest open dance floor so that citizens and guests of the city can, to quote the lyrics, “disco at home”, said R. Šimašius. According to him, Vilnius is ready to organize the Eurovision Song Contest in 2022.
The idea of ”Open Disco” is also supported by the musicians of “The Roop”, who are creating in Vilnius, and whose song has already been loved by listeners in many European countries. “Vilnius is our home and its streets are our dance floor. It would be incredibly rewarding if our song inspired such a celebration. I look forward to seeing how Vilnius could embody the atmosphere of Discoteque and allow the magic of this song to unfold,” said Vaidotas Valiukevičius, leader of The Roop.
An open-air disco would be part of an initiative to convert public spaces into community spaces. This unique event is expected to help people shed pandemic fatigue, drawing inspiration from this year’s Lithuanian representatives at Eurovision. This is another idea of how urban people can try new forms of communication and entertainment at a time when many ordinary things are still limited by a global pandemic.
Citizens will also be able to offer their ideas on how an outdoor disco could look like a victory at the Eurovision Song Contest.
