This November, Local Blood is hitting the road again. The Vilnius-based alternative four-piece have announced a new European tour, which will see them play nine shows across Poland, Hungary, France and Germany.
From 13 to 22 November, Local Blood will perform in Przemyśl, Budapest, Barberaz, Saint-Affrique, Tours, Le Havre, Singen, Cottbus and Warsaw. Over the course of the tour, the band will cover more than 7,000 kilometres on European roads.
International touring is nothing new for Local Blood. In 2024, the band embarked on their first tour across Central Europe, followed by a second and even longer journey through Western Europe in 2025. This year’s route marks another important step in the band’s international journey and will be one of their most intensive tours to date.
“Nine shows, four countries, more than 7,000 kilometres and one van – what could possibly go wrong? This time, we’re not only heading abroad to play shows, but we’re also bringing brand-new music from our upcoming third album. After a couple of tours, we already know what we’re getting ourselves into. And most importantly, we can’t wait to dive in,” say Local Blood members Šarūnas, Žygimantas, Kęstutis and Dainius.
During the European tour, the band will primarily showcase songs from their forthcoming third album, while the set will, of course, also feature fan favourites from their previous records, “Dystopian Disco” and “Loverman.”
“Our third European tour is a very important step for us. Behind nine shows and more than 7,000 kilometres are many months of work, so we’re incredibly happy to have partners and people around Local Blood who believe in the band and help make this tour possible. Now the most important thing is to fit everything into one van and hit the road,” says the band’s manager, Aušra Kareniauskaitė.
And that’s not all Local Blood have planned for this autumn. Just before leaving for their European tour, the band will release their third studio album and celebrate it with an album release show in Vilnius. More information about the new album and the Vilnius show will be announced very soon.

Local Blood are a post-punk band from Vilnius, Lithuania. In 2022, the band released their debut album “Dystopian Disco,” marking a new chapter in their creative development. The album earned Local Blood a nomination in the Rock category at Lithuania’s M.A.M.A. Music Awards.
In November 2023, the band released their second album, “Loverman,” exploring the criminal romanticism of early 1990s Lithuania – a period when the newly independent country was adapting to a new reality while confronting the darker side that came with it.
“Loverman” attracted attention both in Lithuania and internationally, with coverage from Europavox, CLASH, Bobe.me, Post-Punk.com and other music platforms. For the album’s live presentation in Vilnius, Local Blood transformed Loftas into a Twin Peaks-inspired nightclub, highlighting the dark aesthetic and irony that run throughout the band’s music.
In spring 2024, Local Blood embarked on their first tour across Central Europe, performing in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia and Hungary. Their appearance at Europavox Vilnius 2024 provided a fitting finale to the tour. In 2025, the band headed west for their second European tour, performing in France, Germany, Switzerland and other countries.
This autumn, Local Blood are preparing to release their third studio album and embark on their third European tour, bringing their latest material to audiences both in Lithuania and across Europe.
