After Jessica Shy concert, Lithuanians criticized over the mess left behind

The excitement of Jessica Shy’s concerts was followed by an unwelcome sight in Vilnius’ Vingis Park: rubbish scattered across the grass. A short video posted on social media showed the condition of the park after the performances and questioned why people leave such a mess behind.

“ I liked the energy, but I can’t stand what we leave behind,” the video said. The post quickly drew comments from other users. Some described concertgoers as careless and said people threw drink containers at their feet. Others argued that post-event cleanup is routine and that the municipality takes care of it.

One commenter noted that a cider container cost 9 euros and suggested cleanup might already be included in the price. Another added that cleaning takes place after the event.

The discussion came nearly a week after Jessica Shy completed a two-night concert run at Vingis Park. Large crowds attended both performances, which featured the singer’s most popular songs and an extensively planned show. No Lithuanian artist or group had previously managed to fill the park for two consecutive concerts, according to the report.

Fans began arriving well before each concert. The audience included people of different ages, families with children, and listeners who traveled from other Lithuanian cities and abroad. The concerts were presented as an exceptional event in Lithuania’s music history, even as the post-show litter prompted criticism online.
