Release Festival 2023: Arctic Monkeys, The Hives, Willie J Healey & TBA

We bet you look good on the dancefloor. So does Release Festival, which confirmed the rumours behind one of the biggest concert bookings for 2023: Arctic Monkeys. Τhe Sheffield indie rock band, will bring their greatest hits alongside their freshly released, critically acclaimed album, The Car, to the waterside dancefloor of Water Plaza in Palio Faliro right in the middle of summer. Swedish rockers The Hives and fellow indie-rocker Willie J Healey are amongst the support acts. Now, listen to this: 4,000 early-bird tickets sold out in less than three minutes, which prompted the organisers to immediately open the second phase of presale. As a result, we’re now standing at an 80% sold out rate just a few hours after the opening of the box office. What we’re trying to say is, if you see a ticket available, make sure to grab it. Release Festival always offers combined discounted tickets with other dates and acts, but we’re not sure if this will be the case with Arctic Monkeys. Watch this space for more info.

Update: Given that the first day was completely sold out within hours, the festival opted to add a second day with the exact same line up.
