  • Skirmantas Malinauskas, a public figure, criticized the organization of a large concert in Kaunas Stadium.
  • Attendees faced long queues, heat, and poor crowd management, with some fainting.
  • Questions arose about whether ticket refunds would be issued due to the disorganization.

Skirmantas Malinauskas, a prominent figure, has voiced strong criticism regarding the organization of a recent large-scale concert held at Kaunas Stadium. He described the event's management as the worst he had encountered at major concerts in the stadium.

Malinauskas recounted arriving an hour before the show, only to find the queues barely moving with ten minutes left until the start. He noted the intense heat and the unruly crowds, questioning the organizers' competence. "Will the money for the tickets be returned?" he asked on social media, reflecting the frustration of many attendees.

His post quickly resonated with other concertgoers, who shared similar experiences of lengthy waits and discomfort due to the high temperatures, reportedly around 27 degrees Celsius. Some fans became unwell, with police officers providing assistance. The lack of readily available water stations exacerbated the situation, as attendees relied on their own supplies.

I have been to several big concerts at Kaunas Stadium. I have never encountered such poor organization. We arrived an hour before, and with ten minutes left until the start, the queue had barely moved. It was hot, people were whistling, the crowds were unmanageable. Will the money for the tickets be returned?
