Direct from Greece

Ioulia Karapataki has become a favourite on festival stages across Greece, known for performances that feel equal parts concert and celebration. With a sound that blends contemporary Greek music with strong folk roots, her shows are energetic, joyful and designed to be shared with a crowd.

Fresh from a standout Greek summer, Karapataki arrives in Melbourne after the huge success of “Το Γλέντι (To Glenti)”, a track that dominated airwaves and social feeds and quickly became a modern festival anthem. It’s the kind of song that pulls people in, invites movement and turns a performance into a moment.

Karapataki’s connection with audiences is immediate. Whether you know every lyric or are hearing her for the first time, her warmth and charisma make each set feel open, inclusive and alive. It’s music made for open streets, late nights and dancing shoulder to shoulder.

She takes to the Bank of Sydney Main Stage on Saturday 28 February 2026, delivering a headline performance set to be one of the defining moments of Antipodes Festival weekend.
