Release Athens Festival 2026: Moby & Garbage

Release Athens Festival returns for its 10th edition, and it’s set to be one of the biggest music events of the year! Held at the stunning Water Plaza, the festival boasts an impressive lineup. Moby headlines on July 1st, 2026, bringing his iconic electronic sound to the stage. A trailblazer in electronic music, Moby has defined an era with anthems like Porcelain and Go, seamlessly blending ambient, dance, and pop into his own style.

With a career spanning decades, his emotive sound continues to captivate audiences worldwide. He is joined by Garbage, whose industrial-flecked pop and alt-rock helped shape the ’90s sound. The band and their iconic lead Shirley Manson continue to make new music but have hinted they might be winding down big tours. So catch them if you can.

Limp Bizkit kicks things off on June 15th, while David Byrne (June 21), Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (June 24), and Gorillaz (June 25) also take the stage. Helloween (July 10), and Sabaton and Savatage (July 25) round out the rock-heavy portion of the lineup, with even more exciting acts still to be announced. Whether you're into rock, electronic, or alternative, Release Athens has something for everyone. Stay tuned for more updates as the festival approaches!

As per usual, Release offers multi-ticket options. For example, you can pair Moby day with that of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds at a discounted price. Not bad at all!
