Nick Cave

American singer-songwriter Luke Elliot returns to Athens for a one-night-only show at Gazarte's Roof Stage (34 Voutadon). First introduced to Greek audiences in 2019 as the opener for Madrugada's sold-out concerts, Elliot quickly captivated listeners with his soulful voice and magnetic stage presence.

Nick Cave feels at home in Greece - it makes sense: After all, this is the country that gave birth to tragedy, and Cave knows a thing or two about tragic things, both in art and in real life. His new album with The Bad Seeds, titled "Wild God," has just been released to wide acclaim.

Nick Cave spoke about the tragedy he has endured, having lost two sons in less than a decade.

In 2015, his 15-year-old son Arthur fell onto rocks near Brighton, East Sussex, after taking LSD.

At 66, legendary Aussie rocker Nick Cave is no longer the screaming, bellowing presence on stage. And the mood is a bit lighter, although shades of darkness often creep in in this spare stage performance - Cave on piano, accompanied by Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood.

Nick Cave is coming to Athens this June, and he'll be in great company - Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood. The two musicians have toured the US and Australia, earning rave reviews and selling out shows, and now it's Europe's turn. Onassis Stegi (107-109 Syngrou) has secured not one but three dates in this series of shows.
