AEF2025: AIR Play Moon Safari

The Athens Epidaurus Festival celebrates its 70th edition in 2025, with 95 days of artistic brilliance featuring over 3,000 artists from 14 countries. From iconic venues in Athens like the Herodeion, Pireos 260, and the revived City of Athens Lycabettus Theatre, to the grand finale in Epidaurus, the festival brings the world’s top performances to Greece’s stages.

This year’s programme includes world premieres, new commissions, and exciting artistic strands such as Contemporary Ancients, which reimagines Greek tragedy, and Fierce Women in Performance, exploring gender and power. The GRAPE – Greek Agora of Performance platform highlights emerging Greek talent, while the Subset Festival brings experimental sounds to the stage. Cycles Roots revisits folk traditions with a fresh twist.

French electronic icons AIR, aka Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel, are landing in Athens for one night under the stars, and they’re bringing Moon Safari with them.

Blending electronica, spacey pop, and lush, cinematic vibes, AIR’s music has always existed in a world of its own—equal parts futuristic and nostalgic. If you’ve ever lost yourself in the Virgin Suicides soundtrack or caught their collabs with Beck and Jarvis Cocker, you already know the kind of magic they bring. They’ve been making dreamy, genre-defying music since the ’90s, and this show is a rare chance to hear the album that made them famous—live.
