Fengaros Festival drops its official Tenth Anniversary Lineup
Fengaros is back to the ultra-unique village of Kato Drys this summer to celebrate its Tenth Anniversary with a bang.
We’re talking world-renowned trailblazers, more than 45 hours of music from live bands and DJ sets from across the globe, camping underneath the stars and a whole community of music-lovers all gathering together in the village.
Fengaros came out of a huge need to change things up in Cyprus. Each year, the village evolves, the community flourishes together with a common desire, and more of our favourite fresh artists hit the stage.
We’re returning to three days of wandering from stage to stage and secret locations under the summer night sky, and exploring winding village roads where undiscovered musical treasures call you to join in on the celebrations.
Festival tickets are on sale NOW from the Fengaros website - gather round to experience the entirety of the festival and choose to dance along with as many artists as your heart desires.
Fengaros is known for combining top-notch music with the jaw-droppingly breathtaking scenery of a traditional Cypriot village where festival-goers can explore and camp underneath the stars of the summer night sky, creating the ultimate festival experience unlike anything else on the island.
A leader on the island in normalising environmentally conscious music practices and platforming underrepresented genders on festival lineups from the entire region, Fengaros is a pioneer: it has spearheaded the creation of a three-day music festival in overlooked, picturesque Mediterranean villages such as Kato Drys, where visitors can experience an astounding three days, and live the festival in all its glory.

Once in a lifetime, you’ll experience a pandemic. Once in a blue moon, you’ll have a chance to escape to a secluded island. Once on a red Thursday, as the local saying in Cyprus goes, you’ll be in a situation with a group of complete strangers, fully immersed in the sparks of creation flying forth. On A Red Thursday (9 March) is the product of just such a gathering of musicians from a multitude of backgrounds, journeys, skills and preferences. Their first single, ‘ Until We Meet Again’ , performed by Eurotoire team members Panayi and Jolien marks the beginning of sharing their experiences of stepping outside their comfort zones with the world. Following this first offering is alternative RnB number ‘ So Lonely ’ (3 February) performed by Maris Pihlap. ‘ Figures ’ (25 February) is the final single before the album’s release and sees Raveloe and Tamara van Esch punk out in a commentary on obstacles womxn face.

In a songwriting programme piloted by Cypriot label, Louvana Records called Eurotoire, songwriters, producers, and session musicians from ten countries were invited to gather in Cyprus to test their limits, trust strangers, and allow their artistry to merge. Their initial week-long meeting began on a Thursday in June at Studio eleven63 in the island’s capital of Nicosia and blossomed into fifteen demos. After another two writing and recording sessions in July and September, the tracks bloomed into the Eurotoire team members’ fully-fledged album. Now they’re using On A Red Thursday to spread the word about the power of surrendering to creative instinct and collaborating with the unknown. On 13 February, the Louvana Records YouTube channel premiered a short documentary created by all eighteen artists with a single camera shared between them. Clips shot by the artists were edited together by videographer Antonis Pouliasis to depict their journey from complete strangers to collaborators as they untie forces to create an album together.
