Good news for all fans of Icelandic band GusGus! After a hiatus, the eccentric trio is returning to the capital city and on July 12 (Friday) they will perform their only show in Lithuania this year. In Vilnius, the band will present their latest album "DanceOrama" (2023), featuring the already popular singles "Breaking Down", "When We Sing", "Unfinished Symphony" and other great tracks. GusGus will of course also delight the audience with their classic hits such as "Over", "Arabian Horse", "Higher", "Deep Inside", "Airwaves" and many more. The concert will take place on the Summer Terrace in the courtyard of the Vilnius Teachers' House, so it is important to note that, as the space is not large, this time there are limited tickets available.
Together with Bjork and Sigur Ros, the extravagant GusGus are one of the world's top three most sought-after Icelandic artists. The electronic music innovators have also created highly popular dance versions of Depeche Mode, Bjork, Moloko and Sigur Ros. With twelve studio albums and more than thirty singles to their name, GusGus have sold over 700,000 records worldwide and have close to 20 million views on their YouTube channel.

It's hard to count how many times the band has performed in Lithuania, but one thing is clear - their fanbase is growing and expanding every time, as the shows GusGus puts on are truly exceptional. These Icelanders are top-class professionals and true stage aces, able to captivate the audience from the first minutes and keep the mood fantastic until the last moment. Many a fan will tell you that GusGus are unique in every sense, and every visit to Lithuania becomes a great celebration for all electronic music lovers.
Every time we return to Lithuania as if we were old friends, we'll see the GusGus trio on stage - the two founding members Biggi Veira, composer and producer, and Daníel Ágúst, the charismatic vocalist, who has won the Icelandic Pop Singer of the Year title. A few years ago, the band was joined by Margrét Rán Magnúsdóttir, the lead singer of another Icelandic band Vök, who is wittily referred to by her colleagues as "the new circus troupe member".

The name of the Reykjavik-based group, formed in 1995, is a direct reference to the famous 1974 film by German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Fear Eats the Soul, in which a woman makes couscous for her lover, which in her lips sounds like a gus gus. Their successful career began in 1997 with their second studio album Polydistortion, released on the powerful American label Warner Bros. Critically acclaimed, it earned the Icelanders worldwide recognition. Their unpredictable live performances are the epitome of musical eclecticism - masterfully mixing dance music with electronica, hip-hop with techno, funk with house, they are constantly experimenting and playing boldly with sounds.
