The Roop is a Lithuanian pop-rock band from Vilnius. It consists of singer and keyboardist Vaidotas Valiukevičius, drummer Robertas Baranauskas and guitarist Mantas Banišauskas. They were supposed to represent Lithuania at ESC 2020 in Rotterdam, which had to be cancelled on 03/18/20 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, they were able to take first place in the replacement event hosted by the First German Television. After winning the Lithuanian preliminary again at Pabandom iš Naujo 2021, they are allowed to represent their country at the ESC 2021. #esc #the #roop #2021 #lithuania

Discoteque is a pop song with which the group The Roop will represent Lithuania at ESC 2021. She wrote the track with Ilkka Wirtanen, Kalle Lindroth and Laisvūnas Černovas. The song talks about personal inner freedom. It is often said that we are free and live in a free world, but most of the limitations we put on ourselves. This song aims to free our mind, which is too much characterized by self-criticism, fear of being different, dislike of our own body, as well as limiting our own attractiveness. #discoteque #esc #2021 #song #euorivison #contest

The second edition of Pabandom iš naujo! (German: Let's try it again!) took place between 16.01 and 6.02.21 and was the Lithuanian pre-selection for the ESC 2021 in Rotterdam. From 28.10.20 to 14.12.20 entries could be submitted to LRT. Since from 2021 on background vocals played from tape can be used at the ESC, this may now also be used at the Lithuanian preliminary decision. Otherwise, only the general rules for the ESC had to be followed. As in the previous year, the band The Roop was able to win the competition. #lithuania #eurovision #song #contest #2021 #preselection
