Lithuanian broadcaster, LRT, has started a social media campaign to support The Roop in Rotterdam.
LRT is launching a campaign to support its representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021. The campaign is inviting the public to support the group and there are many ways in which they can show support for the band. LRT wants the public to be as creative as they want to be, these examples include creating a group dance, finger tricks, or painting something in yellow. These are just a few examples.
LRT aims to create unity with the audience and to create a distraction from COVID-19. The public is invited to join and officials, business organizations, and Lithuanians abroad are also invited to take part in the support campaign.
Yellow is being used as the main color for the campaign, but it is also being used because it is the Lithuanian flag’s tricolor.
The Roop will be performing in the first Semi-Final in Rotterdam on May 18th. They were due to perform in the 2020 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam with the song “On Fire” but they were unable to due to the cancellation of the contest because of the Coronavirus pandemic.
