British electronic music stars Faithless to perform in Vilnius in September
September 4. Faithless, one of the most famous electronic music bands of all time, will perform in Vilnius Kalnų Park on September 7. The creators of the cult superhits "Insomnia", "God is a DJ" and "One Step Too Far" promise an unforgettable musical-visual adventure to the audience after an 8-year break. This will be the first time Faithless will perform in Lithuania.
Faithless members Sister Bliss and Rollo say. We know that our performances have to be special: a celebration of the band's past, of our love of music, of Maxi Jazz and, of course, of the future of our music." Jvan Morandi, the master of lighting and visual effects who has been creating Faithless' distinctive visual style since 2001, is also playing an important role in this tour.
Presale of tickets for the Faithless concert in Vilnius will start on Wednesday, 15 May, at 11am for subscribers of the Bilietai.lt Newsletter, The public sale will start on Friday, 17 May, 12 noon
Electronic, trance, trip-hop and house music band Faithless was formed in 1995 in London when multi-instrumentalist and composer Sister Bliss and producer Rollo (who is, incidentally, the brother of the famous British singer Dido) met Maxi Jazz, who was already immersed in hip-hop. This cocktail of different styles has proved to be musically colourful and creatively successful, as evidenced by the millions of physical sales of Faithless records and the millions of plays of their songs on various music platforms. According to Mixmag, the British authority on music journalism, Faithless is one of the top 5 electronic bands of all time.
Faithless' very first debut album, "Reverence", stormed the charts in various European countries with gold and platinum status, while the singles "Salva Mea", "Don't Leave", and, of course, "Insomnia" have all become cult hits for the band. Faithless' second album Sunday 8PM, released in 1998, continued their successful march to popularity with tracks such as Bring My Family Back, Take the Long Way Home and the band's trademark God Is a DJ. The 2004 album No Roots, featuring the voices of Dido, L.S.K. and Nina Simone, and in particular the protest song Mass Destruction, attracted particular attention. The lyrics have been quoted in the US Senate, and according to Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, "It's the song I wish I'd written the most."
Although Faithless' latest studio album All Blessed was released in 2020, it's possible that the band's concert in Vilnius will feature some brand-new, unheard tracks, as both Sister Bliss and Rollo are working hard in the studio on the recording studio to create new songs. "I've been very busy, and I've been very focused when I'm working because I have a story to tell. All the anxiety you go through in the recording studio, you realise the meaning of it when you can play your music to an audience and touch them or move them," says Sister Bliss.
