11 JULY – 15 AUGUST 2026
Bringing music lovers together in a breathtaking setting, one of the most eclectic music festivals in Europe returns for an electrifying new season. Get ready to welcome this year’s lineup of elected musicians, all set to light up our world-renowned stage on Sani Hill.
The Spirit of Sani Festival
Every summer, from July to August, Sani Festival proudly brings together Greek and international artists, strengthening the cultural bond between natives and visitors. Rooted in jazz, the first event took place in 1992 over three days. Since then, the programme has naturally evolved beyond one main genre, hosting a wide variety of musical acts, from the likes of pop and rock to classical and indie, alongside the ever-present jazz masters. As the festival’s repertoire has grown, so too has its reputation and global reach, with ever more popular international acts performing each year.
SANI FESTIVAL 2026
This summer brings you a stellar international line-up of acclaimed artists from pop, rock, soul and folk at Greece’s first sustainable music festival. You’re invited to join us on Sani Hill, where music and nature come together for unforgettable performances.
