Katarsis

From the AS YOUNG AS VILNIUS Youth Stage to Eurovision – yep, "Katarsis" made it happen last year.

"Last year, we had an amazing time at the Youth Stage – it was awesome to see the audience so into it, and even better to meet fellow musicians backstage. Those moments are so inspiring," says Lukas Radzevičius, the lead vocalist of "Katarsis".

This year, "Katarsis" is back at AS YOUNG AS VILNIUS, and they’ll be rocking the main stage. What’s next? We’re not sure yet, but we can’t wait to find out!
