About this venue
S. Dariaus ir S. Girėno stadionas in Kaunas is one of the key venues for major outdoor events in the country – the largest stadium in Lithuania, comprehensively renewed in 2022 and built to host both football and athletics at a high standard. It holds around 15,000 spectators for matches, while concert configurations can expand to up to 55,000, making it a go-to stage for big-name tours and large-scale shows.
Inside, the layout focuses on clear sightlines and smooth crowd flow, so getting to your sector and settling in feels straightforward. A hybrid grass pitch and an athletics track underline its multi-purpose character, while modern concessions and comfort-focused areas help you enjoy the full experience from doors open to the final encore.

About the city
Kaunas, Lithuania’s second-largest city, stands out as a strong hub for entertainment and live events—a place where sporting passion and concert energy blend naturally with the city’s urban rhythm. It’s compact enough to navigate with ease, yet lively enough that you’ll always find a good restaurant, a bar, or a cozy spot to unwind before or after an event. With a wide range of accommodation, from central hotels to practical options outside the core, visitors often highlight the relaxed vibe and the city’s sense of order that makes a stay feel effortless.
A major advantage of Kaunas is its connectivity: the city transport run by Kauno autobusai (buses and trolleybuses) makes it quick to move between neighborhoods and key areas—especially handy when heading toward arenas and stadiums. You can arrive by air via Kaunas Airport (KUN), by train at Kauno geležinkelio stotis, or by coach at Kauno autobusų stotis, and then switch smoothly to local lines or taxi services. Thanks to a logical route network and clear transport hubs, planning your trip to and from an event in Kaunas stays simple even if it’s your first visit.
To round out the experience, use the time around your event for a quick city walk: the Old Town invites you toward Rotušės aikštė, while the Nemunas and Neris rivers create an easygoing backdrop for a stroll by the water. Take a walk along Laisvės alėja, the well-known pedestrian boulevard filled with cafés and local charm, and if you enjoy historic sights, Kauno pilis awaits near the rivers’ confluence. Kaunas is the kind of city where a big night out can naturally turn into a full-day getaway—unhurried, packed with options, and with a clear sense that you’re in the right place for a great time.
