ACF2023: Athens Music Week 2023

May we have a month of your time? We promise to make every day count.

The Athens City Festival, the biggest annual spring festival of Athens is back! Athens City Festival will take place throughout the whole of May (yes, you got that right, a 31-day-long festival) with free entrance* events happening all around the city. Consisting of four main pillars—Exhibitions, Gastro-Culture, Entertainment, and Outdoor Athens—the festival aims to showcase both the essential and the understated traits of our unconventional city, offering visitors a first-hand experience of the Athens way of living life. This year ACF includes more than 120 events catering to all tastes, types and ages, making May the ideal season to pay a visit to our side of the Mediterranean.

A conference that is a festival that is a conference. That's the shortest sentence we can think of to describe what Athens Music Week is about. The networking event returns to town at its usual spot, the Gazi cultural hub of Technopolis, and invites every music professional and aficionado to take part in its numerous activities. Workshops, panels and seminars will be covering a wide range of themes such as mental health in the music industry, "green" solutions, and of course the stampede of AI technology. AMW offers multiple possibilities for contact and interconnection with market professionals through speed meetings, pitch sessions and networking events, but also opportunities to empower young and ambitious people in the field through specialised workshops and career guidance seminars. Last, but definitely not least, there will be a series of live concerts by local and international upcoming artists and bands. Follow the links below for a look at the full programme.

* Most events are free entrance and require no tickets, to the exception of some concerts that have a priced ticket, and some events that are free entrance but require pre-registration or are invitation-only. All related information to each of the festival's events can be found on the festival's website, under the page for each event.
