Finally! Giedrė Announces Her First Arena Concert

Lithuanian singer Giedrė is set to perform her first solo concert in an arena, a move she describes with a blend of apprehension and confidence. "I'm scared, but actually, I'm ready. Or everyone is lying to me," she joked in a recent interview.

“

I'm scared, but actually, I'm ready. Or everyone is lying to me. My family smiles when I say I'm rational. They are partly right if we're talking about everyday life. But in my musical world, I weigh everything many times, measure it, and grasp the real situation.

Giedrė explained that the decision to book an arena stems from the significant growth of her fanbase. "My family smiles when I say I'm rational. They are partly right if we're talking about everyday life. But in my musical world, I weigh everything many times, measure it, and grasp the real situation," she said. After her solo work post-'Empti,' 'Pieno lazerių,' and her jazz period, she felt she had to start anew. However, accumulating enough popular songs and selling out concerts for the past few years has paved the way for this larger venue.

"It's like a birthday – it's big if you have many friends. Now there are so many friends who need my music that an arena is the only way," Giedrė stated. She prefers to focus on creating the show itself, leaving the marketing and numerical aspects to her management team. She is also currently working on a new album.

Her music resonates deeply with her listeners, who often share personal stories and confessions after her concerts. "It's good to read that my songs are about those people's lives. Someone confesses love with my music, someone gets married, divorces, grieves, takes hope. I've always said that people inspire my work the most, and I just rhyme what I see," she shared. Giedrė also noted the loyalty and warmth of her audience, many of whom attend multiple shows. For the arena concert, she is focused on finding a balance between a "wonderful stage" and allowing space for the music, drawing inspiration from artists like Jamiroquai and Alanis Morissette, whose concerts prioritize raw talent over elaborate effects.
