Βασίλης Παπακωνσταντίνου, Λυκαβηττός

Περιγραφή στα Αγγλικά

What is it? Vasilis Papakonstantinou — the voice that carried Mikis Theodorakis on a 1978 world tour before turning Greek song toward rock — climbs the open-air Lykavittos Theatre on 12 September, the concert billed as the close of the Athenian summer.

Why it matters: From his 1982 breakthrough Fovamai onward, Papakonstantinou built a catalogue several generations sing back to him verse for verse — a packed hilltop doing exactly that is the night's instrument.

What to expect: Doors at 19:30, music at 21:00 under the stars. No cars reach the summit on show nights; a free shuttle climbs from Sarantapichou Street beforehand. Presale runs EUR 17, EUR 20 at the door.
