KAUKYNĖS - MJR UŽGAVĖNIŲ FESTIVALIS 2026

KAUKYNĖS - A Mardi Gras party of strong music and masks, combining old Baltic traditions and contemporary creativity. It is a playful and colorful banishment of winter, a ritualistically noisy awakening from the doldrums, a deep awakening of spring in oneself. This archaic holiday is known throughout Europe and in many countries of the world, and in Lithuania Midsummer has particularly fun, abundant and undeservedly forgotten traditions! The Juodaragis tribe of the Festival Moon ignites them in the present time and invites you to the hottest Mardi Gras ritual in Vilnius!

--------- SCENE: ---------

DRAM BAM BURTAI - a mystical ethnotronics project, Marius Narbutis' electronics and Edita Gumauskaitė's ethnic music will turn you into an archaic and dance frenzy!

VILKDUJA is a well-known twilight project in Vilnius, moving along astronomical sound paths. In the fights, the Werewolf will appear under a starry mask, transforming into a chthonic being, picking up the strings of a cosmic instrument. The guidelines of these vibrations resist the notions of triphop, darkwave, organic electronic and explode in the sky like an archaic firework. The sparks slowly fall down and hit the ground, turning into notes that we will hear.
LATE HOUSE - a ritualistic fabric of live instruments and dark post-folk electronic sounds. The misty journey to the other world is accompanied by the signs of the old white faith, visions of natural being and spiritual transformations. And masks.

+ ONE MORE GROUP - special guests (to be announced later)
