Lithuania » Entertainment in Vilnius

Vilnius, like most European capitals, offers a wide range of cultural events, concerts, sport events as well as bars and restaurants. Night life offers a variety of places to relax. The Communist government of the Lithuanian SSR criticized rock music, which was considered a decadent and corrupting cultural invasion from the West. In the 1980s, rock bands Foje, Antis, and Bix made a big impact in Lithuania. In 1987, 1988 and 1989 Lithuania saw several big rock festivals, such as Roko Maršas. Roko Maršas was connected to the ideology of Sajudis.
