On Friday May 9, the city comes alive for one of its most exciting nights of the year. The Athens Startup Block Party transforms the Plateia Agion Asomaton Thiseio into an open-air celebration of music, innovation and community, right beneath the glow of the Acropolis. This is the official closing event of Panathēnea, a new international festival dedicated to innovation and culture. Inspired by the creative spirit of ancient Athens, the festival brings together founders, creators and curious minds from around the world.

At the heart of the night is Fideles, the celebrated Italian electronic duo known for their emotional and high-intensity performances. After playing global stages like Afterlife and Tomorrowland, they now bring their signature melodic techno to the streets of Athens for the first time.

Opening the event is Man With The Speaker, a rising talent delivering raw and rhythm-heavy beats that will ignite the square and set the tone for the night ahead. This is a citywide invitation to dance together. Whether you are a local, a founder, an artist  or a visitor just passing through, the Athens Startup Block Party is where you will want to be.
