The news portal Tauragės žinios has reported that Sigita and Liusdas Mikalauskai have decided to discontinue the organization of the Tauragė music festival. According to the publication, the 15th festival season, held in 2025, marked a significant jubilee for the event, but it will also serve as the final iteration of the festival. In a statement released through the news outlet, Sigita and Liusdas informed the public that their decision was based on personal considerations.
They cited a mutual desire to dedicate more time to their family life. The couple reflected on the festival’s journey, noting that when they initially began the Tauragė music festival in their hometown fifteen years prior, the scale of its growth was unimaginable. The announcement comes amid ongoing reports detailing personal challenges faced by the couple.
Sources mentioned that the Mikalauskai have been the subject of reports concerning attacks, threats, and issues related to the public disclosure of their private lives. Furthermore, the article noted that another individual, Aušra Muzikevičiūtė, was also included in the list of people reportedly targeted by similar controversies. The decision to cease organizing the festival, therefore, represents a significant conclusion to a long-running cultural event.
The couple has publicly stated that this personal decision supersedes the continuation of the festival’s operations, marking a definitive end to the tradition.
