Are you ready for an immersive journey through sound, culture, and storytelling? The Stegi Radio Takeover 2025 is here to transform how we experience radio. Hosted by the Onassis Stegi, this unique event is a celebration of creativity, bringing together diverse voices, groundbreaking music, and innovative audio experiences under one roof.

The Stegi Radio Takeover 2025 is an ambitious project that invites artists, radio producers, and creatives from around the globe to explore the limitless possibilities of audio storytelling. This year’s event promises a dynamic lineup of live radio broadcasts, panel discussions, music sessions, and experimental soundscapes designed to engage, inspire, and challenge your perception of the auditory arts.

Two days, four stages, more than 30 artists from all over the world.

The Main Stage is once again ‘dressed’ as a club that fills with the electro outbursts of Kittin, who comes to Athens after her impressive performance at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris, the impetuous rhythms of the ‘Pope’ of minimal techno Robert Hood, the politicized, insurgent jazz of Irreversible Entanglements, who released their latest album on Impulse, the playful mix of disco, acid, and techno of David Vunk, the unpredictable genre marriage of Crystallmess, the cheeky combination of trap and rebetiko of Black Morris, aka Negros tou Moria, and the uproarious garage psychedelia of Acid Baby Jesus.

Onassis Stegi -1 radiates the intensity and hedonism of an underground club in a metropolitan center where different communities and subcultures meet and mix, with the frenetic beats of De Schuurman, the Mediterranean new club blend of STILL and Deena Abdelwahed, and the Afroglobal energy of Catu Diosis, artist of the Nyege Nyege Tapes label.
The Upper Stage is dedicated to Greek artists, with live performances by the now-acclaimed The Boy, the introverted, idiosyncratic Larry Gus, the up-and-coming cabaret pop singer-songwriter Kristof, and Venus Volcanism, who mixes polyphonic and traditional singing with experimental electronic music. The Upper Stage also includes a performance by Grand River, an Italian cinematic ambient artist.

Meanwhile at Onassis Stegi +3, join us for two hours-long sets by Dimitri Papaioannou, with eclectic ambient selections, and A@H2O>, with dub, calypso, and reggae sounds, as well as a listening session by Invernomuto and a conversation between Yannis-Orestis Papadimitriou and Stoffel Debuysere, as part of the “Ways of Listening” program.

Starting 25/1: every Saturday and Sunday at 20:00.

Theatre of the NO, Athens' first English-speaking theatre, presents «SEX HONESTLY, a thought-provoking  comedy written by Romina Katsikian and co-directed by Vangelis Papadakis and Michael Edwards. Brought to life by The Foursome Theatre Group, this fast-paced and witty production dives deep into the complexities of modern romantic relationships. The play opens on January 25th and runs every Saturday and Sunday at 20:00

Outlook zvpke5k5

Welcome to 21st-century love. 

Four actors take on 24 characters, unraveling six unique stories filled with chaos, deception, and unexpected twists. With sharp dialogues and hilarious scenarios, the play satirizes the deadlocks of love in today’s world, mocking princes, exposing fragile egos, and revealing the truths we’d rather ignore.

From the small lies we tell to keep the flame alive, to the grand illusions we hold about intimacy and self-worth, this play holds up a mirror to the awkward, painful, and side-splitting realities of human connection.

"One Inch of Love" At Theatre Of The No

POLYPALA
"One Inch of Love"
Andreas Polyzogopoulos & Giorgos Palamiotis
at THEATRE OF THE NO

Saturday, January 25th  at 22:30
 

Theatre of the NO, Athens' first English speaking theatre, presents the musical duo «Polypala», featuring Andreas Polyzogopoulos (trumpet, effects) and Giorgos Palamiotis (bass, effects). On Saturday, January 25th , at 22:30 the duo will take the stage to perform both new material and compositions from their debut album, "One Inch of Love" , a work deeply inspired by nature and dedicated to reconnecting with the natural world.

Through their compositions, the duo creates a new musical "language", capturing the unique, archetypal essence of the Greek landscape, transcending geographical and social boundaries. Their music is influenced by artists such as Harold Budd and Brian Eno, as well as traditional Indonesian gamelan and Japanese gagaku orchestras.

The track titles reference real locations, such as Keros and Mt. Takao, natural phenomena like Apiary Wind and Solstice, and dreamlike moments such as A Cloud Passes Behind the Moon and Trees Breathing by the Sea.

As the artists themselves explain: "The album was recorded under an olive tree at Panagiotis’ apiary, in Tasia and Nikola’s olive grove in Langada, Amorgos, and in the park of Plato’s Academy in Athens. We hope to share some of the images that stayed with us and the emotions we experienced throughout this project."

THEATRE OF THE NO, Athens first English speaking theatre, hosts «GILAD ATZMON'S BASS LESS QUARTET» for a special one night performance on Saturday, 8th February at 22:30. This exceptional ensemble brings together an extraordinary lineup of talent: rising Greek star Vironas Ntolas on guitar, promising drumming virtuoso Simos Reniotis, the enchanting vocalist Tali Atzmon, and internationally acclaimed jazz artist Gilad Atzmon on bass clarinet. Together, they promise an evening of music that celebrates the transformative and revolutionary spirit of jazz.

 AGN3048 A

The Bass-Less Quartet pays homage to the rich history of jazz, tracing its evolution from the early 1920s to the present day. Their repertoire spans a century of timeless music, from soulful classics like "Willow Weep for Me" to Chet Baker’s poignant "I Fall in Love Too Easily." The group also infuses a fresh and authentic jazz spirit into reinterpretations of The Beatles and other pop classics.

For jazz lovers who feel disconnected from the complexities of contemporary trends, the Bass-Less Quartet promises to rekindle the belief in jazz as an art form dedicated to the pursuit of beauty against all odds.
