Katarsis (Lithuanian: [kɐˈtaːrsʲɪs]) is a Lithuanian alternative rock band formed in Vilnius consisting of Lukas Radzevičius (vocals, guitar), Alanas Brasas (lead guitar), Emilija Kandratavičiūtė (bass), and Jokūbas Andriulis (drums). They are set to represent Lithuania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with the song "Tavo akys".
History
Katarsis started as a solo project of Lukas Radzevičius. While still in school, in 2019 Radzevičius began composing and releasing his own music. After receiving invitations to perform at concerts, he realized that he could not deliver live performances alone and subsequently formed a band with the same name.
In 2024, they released their debut EP, Dausos.
On 11 December 2024, Katarsis was announced as one of the forty-five contestants in Eurovizija.LT, Lithuania's national selection to select the country's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, with the song "Tavo akys". On 1 February 2025, they advanced to the semi-final stage, thus managing to advance to the final two weeks later. At the final of the event, Tavo akys was one of the three songs with the most votes received by the jury and at home, advancing to the superfinal, where the televote crowned it the winner and Lithuanian representative on the Eurovision stage in Basel.
