KOSTIS MARAVEGIAS IN PATRA ON SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 29
The beloved songwriter, after several years on a prolonged tour throughout Greece, in the company of his fearless and immovable band and a handful of songs that bring us in our arms, drag us to the dance and move us.
Once again, Kostis Maraveyas will be in Patras as part of the Street Food Music Fest 2024, on Sunday September 29 at 9pm.
The concept is simple: 9 guys get into a van, get off in the city, take a “post” in front of a standing audience and promise to make us sweat even if “Summer is gone”.
Driven by the release of his latest album “Portofino” which was embraced by the public and critics, but also all his favorite songs from his previous works, always accompanied by unexpected arrangements by other creators, Kostis Maraveyas sets up his celebration, inviting us let’s all be part of the fight against the anxiety and uncertainty of everyday life!
