Agorafoviko Festival 2024

This is by no means an event for the anxious. Despite its name, which means "the agoraphobic festival," it attracted quite a large crowd in last year's edition, held in the formerly industrial, now artistic hub, PLYFA space. This year promises to do the same, drawing intergenerational crowds who follow the vibrant Greek indie scene.

The 2024 edition is curated by Metaman, a Greek electronica performer, and features a lineup that spans three stages over two nights to showcase both legendary and emerging local artists. On the legendary side, artists like K. Bhta and Lena Platonos, pioneering figures in Greek electronic music, have consistently pushed boundaries, earning a revered place in the annals of Greek musical innovation. Lost Bodies, with their singular underground sound, have been going strong since the '80s. Alongside them, an eclectic mix of younger performers will contribute to the festival's dynamic atmosphere.

Adhering to the post-pandemic need for large gatherings, danceability, and dynamic performances, the Agorafoviko Festival will once again stand out for its openness, diversity, and aesthetic convergence of different genres within the evolving local indie music scene.
