The grand comeback of Varvakios Market arrives with a disruptive transformation. The This is Athens City Festival 2026 invites us into a setting reminiscent of Blade Runner.

Starting at 18:00, Stefanos Konstantinidis’ FONOPTIKON project lands in Athens’ central market, presenting a live audiovisual experience where beats and visuals electrify the venue’s traditional aura.

In a thrilling artistic encounter, the iconic voice of Best 92.6, Maria Papidaki, comes "face to face" with FONOPTIKON, composing a soundscape that blurs the lines between reality and science fiction. Varvakios is reimagined as a hybrid of an underground club and sci-fi cinema, featuring free entry and a futuristic vibe.
