Dainykla is an independent, grassroots space where live music, artistic experiments, gatherings and cultural exchanges take place. Dainyklos bring together artists, audiences and everyone who values alternative urban culture.
To make these places easier to find, we created a collective map of dainyklos. It highlights all the venues that are part of this growing network. Each has its own character, program and community, but together they form one living fabric of the city’s culture.
A dainykla is not just a concert hall. It is a place where new names appear, where ideas are tested, and where the future of the music scene is being shaped. It is a safe space for community – to try, to meet, to grow together.
The map invites you to travel from one dainykla to another, discover new places and support local creativity. Such a journey is a chance to experience the diversity of Vilnius’ music and feel the city’s night life from within.
This initiative was created so that dainyklos would not remain isolated venues, but instead grow into a network. By collaborating, we strengthen visibility, attract more audiences and create space for the local scene to thrive.
Every dainykla matters for the whole city. It draws people in, shapes the cultural climate and offers an alternative to commercial entertainment. Dainyklos prove that culture can be alive, independent and accessible to everyone.
The venues on the map are open to anyone eager to hear new sounds, discover young talents or simply experience the city’s creative energy. It is an invitation to step off the usual routes and discover a different Vilnius.
The full program of events is always available here: https://vnb.lt/en/events/ – a constantly updated calendar that shows you where music is happening tonight.
