Almost all of Athens’ big stages are open on the weekend of 9–11 October 2026, most of them on Friday and Saturday. Below you will find the line-ups venue by venue, some options for a more relaxed evening, and the premieres coming up. Athens clubs have not opened yet and start later in the season.
If you are new to Greek nightlife: bouzoukia venues are large halls where well-known singers perform live with a band, guests sit at tables and the evening runs late. Live-music tavernas (mousika mezedopoleia) are smaller and more relaxed, with food, drinks and live music, often folk or rebetiko.
