Ejekt Festival in Athens
Ejekt Festival launched in 2005 with a Chemical Brothers-headlined bill, filling a gap for a Greek festival built specifically around electronic music. Two decades on, it has broadened to a rock, indie and electronic mix, with past lineups including Muse, Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, Moby and Pixies, concentrated into one or two headline-focused nights each Athens summer.
