The stage is set up inside the Olympic complex, with Calatrava’s arch behind it.
The doors open early and people grab their spot in the sun.

How to get to OAKA
- Ioulianou 50 → Victoria station: 3 minutes on foot.
- Line 1 (green): towards Kifisia, ten stops to Irini, about 20 minutes.
- Irini → Olympic Stadium: come out at OAKA and follow the crowd to the gate printed on your ticket.
On the way back everyone leaves at once, so Irini station gets packed. Check the time of the last train that evening. If the festival is at Plateia Nerou, take the metro to Syntagma and the tram towards the coast.
🎸 From Ioulianou 50 to OAKA
Line 1 from Victoria to Irini, no change. Tap the stadium for the route in Google Maps.
Kathy’s tip: for a spot near the stage, come when the doors open and bring water, because in July it stays hot until late. After the concert don’t rush for the metro; half an hour later the station is emptier.
