They’re the indie dance-pop trio who brought Lithuania back into the top ten at Eurovision 2021. Now, the two-time Pabandom is Naujo champions are heading to the British Isles. We’re delighted to confirm Lithuania’s The Roop will perform at the London Eurovision Party 2022.
On Sunday 3 April, The Roop — that’s Vaidotas Valiukevičius, Robertas Baranauskas and Mantas Banišauskas — will bring the disco fever to London’s Hard Rock Hotel at the UK’s biggest and best Eurovision warm-up party.
Lithuanians chose The Roop to sing “On Fire” for their country at Eurovision 2022 before the show was cancelled. The trio later returned in 2021 with “Discoteque”, which placed eighth in the grand final in Rotterdam.

Go KeIIno!!
Ain’t no party like a Roop party! I just realized they never got the chance to do any real pre-parties since 2020’s were canceled and 2021’s were virtual, so I’m glad they’re making up for lost time (as well as any other 2020/21 acts jumping in to any of these).
Another non-2022 oddball in the show!
Preparties have pretty much always had popular artists not competing that year at them
This has so cheered up my day. I can’t wait for this now ??
Such a treat, wish i could be there!
