Bio
Lithuania’s breakout pop act, THE ROOP, bends the mainstream in unexpected ways – melding crisp dance-pop with emotional depth and bold visual identity. Their sound is instantly catchy yet always layered. With multiple industry awards and a growing global presence, THE ROOP is emerging as one of the most exciting acts in European pop. Their performances are mesmerizing, magnetic, and built for the big stage – showcased most recently when they opened for Ed Sheeran on his 2024 stadium tour and during their successful European tour in spring 2026.
They first broke through internationally with On Fire (2020), a Eurovision fan-favorite that dominated charts and alternative contests across Europe. Their 2021 follow-up, Discoteque, earned them an 8th place finish in the Grand Final and brought their stylish, genre-blending pop to an even larger global audience. In 2026, the UK’s BBC Radio 2 shortlisted THE ROOP among 70 iconic Eurovision acts for the contest’s 70th anniversary “Ultimate Eurovision Superstar” celebration.
With their 2025 album Momentum, THE ROOP delivers a refined, resonant sound that continues to evolve their distinctive style. Lead single Steal Me blends sleek synth-pop with romantic tension, while Chica Chico adds Spanish rhythms to a joyful, sunlit celebration of unity. The track became a No.1 radio hit in Lithuania and found an unexpected international life online, as dance communities and creators across different countries organically embraced it for line dancing and social content – including communities as far away as the Philippines. Their third single, Just Think About It, returns to a darker, introspective tone, exploring humanity’s struggle to stay real in a digital world.
With a growing global fanbase and a vision that’s as compelling visually as it is sonically, THE ROOP continues to reshape what pop can look and feel like – without ever losing the beat.
