Linas Adomaitis concert in the USA canceled due to government decision

The concert of Lithuanian artist Linas Adomaitis in the USA has been canceled due to the lack of necessary work visas for the performing team.

The planned concert for Lithuanian musician Linas Adomaitis, scheduled for February 21, has been canceled due to a government decision regarding work visas. The announcement was made through the Facebook page of the Lithuanian community in the USA and highlighted that, despite significant interest and sold-out tickets, the organizing team faced challenges in obtaining the necessary permits due to tightened immigration policies in the United States. The event was being organized as part of the 'Meet Lithuanian Music' festival, showcasing the talents of various Lithuanian artists. Unfortunately, Linas Adomaitis and his group were unable to receive the required work visas, which ultimately led to the cancellation of the concert. Those who purchased tickets will be refunded to their original payment methods, a step acknowledged by the organizers in light of disappointing news for fans and the community. Despite the setback, the organizing committee expressed hope for future opportunities to bring Linas Adomaitis to the United States for performances, alongside choirs like Dainava and Ave Musica, indicating a desire to create a special musical celebration for the Lithuanian community abroad. This cancellation represents broader implications for the cultural exchange and ease of access for international artists due to restrictive immigration policies.
