Once a year the circuit breaks down and in September 2024 the Agoraphobic Festival sets up again for two nights three stages at PLYFA.
This year’s curator, Metaman, holding the invisible ribbon that unites Lena Platonos with Eddie Dark, weaves the fabric of a festival open in every sense of the word. It brings together friends and idols or both at the same time, in a line-up several of whose names are accompanied, more or less, by the designation “legendary”, even if some had to do the Paris-Dakar on their knees to see the return of Regressverbot and Victory Collapse.
Somehow, Larry Gus and his unique live performances meet the beats of Dj Pitsouni, the heretical discourse of Lost Bodies meets the nihilism of Dramachine, while the electro-poetic element is omnipresent, from the iconic K. Beta, to Molyneaux, Lalousis and A. Epithetis. Olina and Euripides give a more sensitive perspective to things along with Tropical Geometry who indulge in more pop forms, honoring their kraut origins.
Penny, Dolly Vara and Expe on the other hand, form an explosive trio, each in their own personal way, which comes to be added to Krista Papista and Sci-Fi River who in turn bring to ΑΤΦ24 two of the most enjoyable appearances of AΦΦ23.
Incognito returns from last year’s edition of the festival are also the presences of Echo Tides, Vassilina and Kristof, in a local scene that changes shapes, names and combinations, constantly finding new ways to strengthen its ties and evolve, carrying and delivering the same cross from generation to generation, from the 80s to the present day.
