Villagers of Ioannina City: Venceremos 2026 in Athens

Villagers of Ioannina City (VIC) bring their distinctive fusion of Greek folk music and psychedelic rock to Athens for a special concert. The band, formed in Ioannina in 2007, blends post-rock, stoner, and psychedelic sounds with traditional Epirus folk elements, featuring clarinet, kaval, and bagpipe alongside electric guitars and drums. Their music is characterized by polyphonic melodies and hypnotic rhythms, creating an immersive live experience that has earned them sold-out shows across Greece.

Attendees can expect a powerful performance drawing from their discography, including their latest album *Venceremos* released in September 2026. The band's current lineup includes Alex Karametis on guitar and vocals, Akis Zois on bass, Aris Giannopoulos on drums, and Dimitris Brendas on bagpipe and winds. With a reputation for energetic and atmospheric shows, this concert is a must for fans of folk-infused rock and psychedelic music.
