INNERFEST by Innersense Productions

Innersense Productions celebrates 30 years of musical activity and marks the occasion with an explosive 3-day festival! 3 different days, 3 different music genres, one shared culture, with each day’s Line Up also paying tribute to the Local Heroes of each genre.

Back in the now very distant 1996, Innersense was born as a natural evolution following the Infinity Parties at the legendary Alsos Park, in Pedion tou Areos. The goal was one and only: the promotion of urban and bass culture through the organization of music events centered around breaks and bass.

Alsos, Plus Soda, Venue, Cavo Paradiso, Decadance… Clubs and festivals throughout Greece, as well as in Croatia, the United Kingdom, and Belgium.

More than 70 international artists brought to Greece, with most of them performing in the country for the first time. Among them: Ghostface Killah (Wu-Tang Clan), Mix Master Mike (Beastie Boys), MixHell (Iggor Cavalera & Laima Leyton), L’Entourloop, Goldie, Photek, LTJ Bukem, Adam Freeland, DJ Vadim and many more…

Bookings, management, and concert organization for Greek artists across Greece as well as in Belgium, France, and Japan…

This is, condensed into a few lines, the legacy of Innersense Productions and its contribution to shaping the contemporary music culture of Athens, with the goal of constant evolution and a gaze fixed on the future, always with respect but without attachment to the past.

30 years and many hundreds of nights later since that very first one in 1996 at Alsos Park, the time has come this year for Innersense Productions to celebrate together with the people who have supported it all these years, through a series of events, highlighted by InnerFest, a Music Festival featuring different music genres of the same culture.

SATURDAY JUNE 13 @ PLYFA – GREEK RAP
HEADLINERS: Rationalistas – Taf Lathos – Twinsanity
plus many more

Throughout its 30 years of uninterrupted presence in the Greek music scene, Innersense Productions has collaborated with a multitude of artists from the local Hip Hop scene.

Some of them will honor with their presence and participation on stage the 2nd day of InnerFest, dedicated to Greek Rap, celebrating the relationship of mutual respect that has developed throughout all these years.

On Saturday, June 13, on the stage of PLYFA, a rare gathering for Greek Rap will take place:

more to be announced

It is certain that all these artists have never all appeared together at the same event simultaneously, making this occasion even more unique, especially considering that some of these musicians consistently fill venues of over 2,500 people and headline major festivals in the country.

Saturday, June 13 will be a true celebration of the ever-evolving Greek Rap scene, and our courtyard is expected to be packed.

Doors open at 18:30 and the live show starts at 19:00.

SUNDAY JUNE 14 @ PLYFA – REGGAE / DUB / ROOTS
HEADLINERS: Groundation – Road Duck plus Top Greek Selectors

Since their formation in 1998, Groundation have belonged among the legends of global reggae. Their first two albums (Young Tree and Each One Teach One) established a unique roots sound that defines them. In 2002, the album Hebron Gate was recorded, gaining immediate success and bringing international recognition to the band, becoming ever since a masterpiece of their progressive and unique roots reggae sound.

In 2018, following the departure of some founding members, the legendary band from California regrouped around its leader, Harrison Stafford, who surrounded himself with some of the finest musicians who, like him, had graduated from the famous Sonoma State University.

The resulting sound remains deeply faithful to the jazz-infused reggae that established Groundation’s reputation from the very beginning. This new generation of virtuosos brings all of its talent, creativity, and energy to the live performances.

On Sunday, June 14 at PLYFA, we will have the pleasure of enjoying the top 10-member band in its full formation live, carrying their brand-new album Candle Burning with them as part of their European tour. After more than 20 years and ten studio albums, Groundation return with their 11th album, recorded 100% analog at the famous ICP Studio in Brussels. The result is a high-quality sound, with complex yet captivating arrangements and lyrics that are deeply human and poetic.

Before Groundation, the stage of PLYFA will host Road Duck — the 7-member Athens-based band considered the best Dub-Roots-Reggae band in Greece. Their latest album Conflict Of Interest has captivated fans of the genre, something also proven by their recent performance at a packed Piraeus Club Academy.

The two bands will be joined by top Greek Selectors with their DJ Sets. Anna Mystic, Irie Action, Kilimanjaro, Nesta and Piranhas complete a unique gathering for our country’s Reggae – Dub – Roots scene.

*Bars and snack stands will operate inside the venue for the audience’s convenience, and official merchandise from the artists and Innersense Productions will be available.

ACHOS fest

ILION plus and kompakt productions present a springtime open-air music and dance celebration in Athens, just before the arrival of summer.

On Sunday, May 17, in the outdoor space of PLYFA, four distinctive groups from the contemporary scene, creatively connected to traditional music, come together: Sourloulou Band, Kinteria, Laska, and Banda Entopica join forces in a musical journey where dance, festivity, and the shared memories of the Eastern Mediterranean reclaim their place in the present.

ACHOS is an invitation and a call to participate in a festival experience where instruments, voices, and bodies meet in a collective celebration. We approach musical tradition as free from conservative or divisive interpretations, highlighting its open and living character, one that makes it a shared cultural ground where the stories and memories of the region’s peoples meet and converse.

~Achos • Ahos~
The word “achos” refers to a confused, prolonged, or muffled sound. It can describe the sound of battle, celebration, the sea, or a storm. The word derives from the ancient Greek “ēcheō” or “ēchō,” meaning “echo.”

Doors: 18.00 / Starts: 19.00

Agorafoviko Festival 2025

No more Aspronisi oysters. No more jasmine tea.
Now, tourlou.

On September 26 and 27, 2025, the third Agorafoviko Festival takes over PLYFA once again, proclaiming across its three stages its coherent heterogeneity and diverse references.

Now that listening to “a bit of everything” is no longer a crime, the curator of AFF25, Sci Fi River, includes in the same lineup the myth of Dinos Sadikis from En Plo and the myth of Poll, the Aperantos Chorafies, and the Astroneira of Kostas Tournas.

The heavy rap résumé of Taki Tsan & DJ ALX—which, among many other things, includes the initials ZN and TxC—meets the streetwise poetry and pop instinct of 0-100 Seirene and Ms. Morris.

Nekrotsoulithra are hailed as trash discopunk prophets of the next moment, while the big beat parties staged by Turboflow 3000 align with the performances Nalyssa Green has recently distinguished herself in, forming a pentagram, the other peaks of which are occupied by Chraja and Libys.

Expectations are placed on Tamta with Die Arkitekt, Despoinis Trichromi with Veslemes and Fonoptikon, to perform the after-effects of last year’s more electronic Agoraphobic Festival. Through Soma, Junkheart, Citizen Jim, and Ktiria ti Nychta, the festival stretches its balladry back to the provádika (communal spaces) from which the entire festival originates.

The strings of Nefeli, Kalliopi, and Nikos Veliotis meet the distinctive lyricism of Capette and Rastonis, while Tsolimon, Utekan, and Xanthi bring news of the sound that has dominated the city for some time.

The full line-up of AFF25:
Kostas Tournas, Nalyssa Green, Nekrotsoulithra, Die Arkitekt x Tamta, Taki Tsan x DJ Alx, Turboflow 3000, Fonoptikon, Dinos Sadikis, 0-100 Seirene, Veslemes x Trichromi, Capette, Libys, Nefeli Walking Undercover, Kalliopi Mitropolou x Nikos Veliotis, Soma, Chraja, Ktiria ti Nychta, Junkheart, Ms. Morris, Tsolimon, Rastonis, Xanthi, Utekan, Citizen Jim, Deftera, Kareoles & friends x 555ivas, Sci-Fi River

First Agoraphobic Day:

Kostas Tournas / Nekrotsoulithra / Taki Tsan x DJ Alx / Dinos Sadikis / Veslemes x Trichromi / Kalliopi Mitropolou x Nikos Veliotis / Soma / Chraja / Ktiria ti Nychta / Tsolimon / Rastonis / Utekan

Second Agoraphobic Day:

Nalyssa Green / Die Arkitekt x Tamta / Turboflow 3000 / Fonoptikon / Libys / Capette / 0-100 Seirene / Nefeli Walking Undercover / Junkheart / Ms. Morris / Xanthi / Citizen Jim / Sci-Fi River

The Agorafoviko Festival is repeated every year with a different curator.
AFF25 is curated by Sci-Fi River.

Rudu Fest Athens 2025 – Open Air

Just before setting sail for Amorgos, Rudu Fest makes a stop at the unique space of PLYFA!

A 2-day celebration that brings the breeze of the islands, freedom, music, and authenticity to Athens’ summer sky for the very first time, across two stages.

Mikros Klefths, Usurum, Katohos, Sophie Lies, To Sfálma, Mi55t w/ Crashoverride, Stavros Allos, Kostis, Stavros Tsantes, AEON – a diverse lineup that blends lyricism, sensitivity, and new Greek music with dynamic urban sounds and hip hop culture.

Day 1 | June 13, 2025
Usurum, Sophie Lies, Kostis, Stavros Tsantes, Stavros Allos

Day 2 | June 14, 2025
Mikros Klefths, Katohos, To Sfálma, AEON, MI55T w/ Crashoverride

Friday, June 13

Poetic lyrics, electronic music, direct storytelling, and serene sonic landscapes shift and coexist both in the recordings and live shows of Usurum. Their music stems from a love of song, poetry, and curiosity about sound — making them the ideal headliners for Rudu Fest Athens’ opening day on Friday, June 13.

With a fresh sound brought by the release of her second album (“The Other Side of Habit”, One Little Victory), Sophie Lies steps onto the summer stage of Rudu Fest to continue her dialogue with broken plates, flowers that bloom where no one expects, lost words, and found songs.

Kostis, a year after his EP “Some Sundays” (Mellowsophy Music), which we all softly sang along to, returns with another highly anticipated live show — blending pop music with his deep love for Greek songwriting and Manos Hadjidakis.

Stavros Tsantes first appeared as a songwriter with the album “My Father’s Childhood Habits”, followed by singles like “Golden-Green Glitter”, “Giorona” (ft. Sophie Lies), and “Kavouras” (ft. M. Kalogerakis). He feels blessed to join the open-air celebration of Rudu Fest after a winter of powerful live performances, sharing the stage with beloved and talented artists — including the other Stavros.

Stavros Allos, an Athens-based musician and songwriter, drew attention in 2023 with his debut album “For Nora” (Rudu Records). He opens the festival with his heartfelt indie-folk sound, handwritten love-letter songs, and Greek lyrics — when he’s not collaborating with other well-known bands on the scene.

Saturday, June 14

Mikros Klefths (MK) is a veteran of the genre, with over twenty years behind the mic and countless sold-out shows. He has inspired an entire generation of MCs to start their journey in rap, all while staying fresh and relevant. Famous for his distinctive rhyme style and raw freestyle skills that leave audiences in awe, he was one of the first MCs to bring hip hop to northern Greece — and remains one of the most consistent and productive artists in the local rap scene.

He’s ready to set the PLYFA venue ablaze on Saturday, June 14, following Katohos, To Sfálma, AEON, and MI55T w/ Crashoverride — a lineup no fan of hip hop or urban music should miss.

Katohos stands out for his unique flows, conscious lyrics, and chaotic mindset. Since 2018, he’s been a rising force in the Athenian hip-hop scene, releasing early mixtapes and EPs. His first studio album “Baby Steph” marked him as one of the most promising rappers in recent years. “Baby Steph 2” brought him to a broader mainstream audience, and the trilogy concluded powerfully with “Baby Steph 3”, launched with a sold-out show at GAGARIN.

To Sfálma, following the release of his new album with Raibo titled “The Jamaica of the Balkans” — presented at a packed Kyttaro venue — and after explosive, sold-out performances across Greece, comes to Rudu Fest to once again deliver raw, no-holds-barred underground rap.

Continuing that explosive energy, AEON, from Crete, blends rap with the sonic roots of Greek music, presenting tracks from her brand-new album “Chaimalina” along with older favorites.

Theoni, better known as Mi55t, is one of Greece’s most powerful rap voices of the past 10 years, known for her unique live energy, albums, and collaborations. At Rudu Fest, she’ll be joined by Crashoverride, who will take over the decks.

Doors open at 19:30

KRAMA Festival 2025

Start from what you know.

In a world shaped by divisive narratives, KRAMA stands as an inclusive platform – celebrating shared values, addressing common struggles, and dissolving boundaries through creative expression.

We invite artists who explore and challenge the limits of Western music, incorporating diverse instrumentation, bold arrangements, and unusual structures. We find meaning in questioning norms, and embracing discomfort as a space for dialogue or transformation.

Through this process, we define our vision of the contemporary and the experimental – a practice rooted in co-creation, inclusivity, and the interplay of mediated curation with spontaneous experimentation.

Curated by KRAMA & Eleni Poulou

PartSuspended Artist Collective opens the 1st edition of ECOPHILIA NOW festival in the unique space of PLYFA for 2 days, 19-20 October 2024.

The ECOPHILIA NOW festival brings together over 20 diverse participants, including performers, musicians, choreographers, visual artists, activists, environmentalists, and poets from across Europe. With representatives from countries such as Greece, Hungary, Spain, Italy, Belgium, France, Romania, Ukraine and Denmark, the festival is international in scope.

The festival’s concept of “ecophilia” — a deep love for Earth and nature as a shared home for all beings — invites participants to nurture their connection with the environment. This focus on “philia” (friendship) with nature is a call to embrace a more caring, sustainable, and mindful approach to how we interact with the environment.

Through a rich variety of artistic expressions, such as performances, audio-visual media, music, and visual art, as well as engaging talks and creative workshops, ECOPHILIA NOW looks for feminist and inclusive practices and how these can open new ways of thinking about a more environmentally conscious and socially just world.

Join us to explore together new possibilities of making art and thinking about the environment, and share the joy of being together!
