Amita Motion will host the 21st edition of its Day of Positive Energy music festival on Friday, September 18, 2026, at Platia Nerou in Faliro, Athens, with free admission for everyone who attends.
The festival begins at 17:00, with doors opening an hour earlier at 16:00, organizers said. For 21 years, the event has brought together thousands of young people through music, socializing, dancing and what organizers describe as positive energy, making it one of the country's longest-running free music gatherings.
This year's edition follows last year's 20th anniversary concert at the same venue, which drew more than 70,000 spectators. Organizers said this year's festival arrives with even more momentum, featuring a new line-up and several surprises for the crowd.
Who is performing
Greek singer Eleni Foureira will appear as the festival's Music Ambassador. Akylas is billed to bring what organizers called "Positive Star Vibes" to the square, while Thodoris Ferris will perform the festival's special closing act. Sakis Rouvas will appear as the event's Special Guest Star.
Other acts scheduled to perform include Anastasia, Ellize, Evangelia, FY, Kidd and Lila. They will be joined by Agapios, Vaggos Danezis, Emmanouela, Evi Koulkouvini, Manto Kountouri, Marina Lamprou, Lil Koni, Athena Manoukian, Steve Provis, and the duo Sarigian & GLS.
Presenters and coverage
Dat Lilly and Venetia Kamara, who serve as Amita Motion brand ambassadors, will present the Day of Positive Energy for another year. Backstage coverage will be handled by the festival's self-styled Positive Reporters, Dr. Chris and Athina Klimi, who organizers said will deliver live interviews, snapshots and behind-the-scenes content from the artists throughout the day.
A number of digital creators and influencers are also expected to attend, including Manos Koulelis (@manosderv), Theoni Takou (@nonoukos) and Maria Tsouka (@mfcitygiiirl), among several others, who organizers said will share the atmosphere of the day in their own individual style.
Organizers said the experience will not be confined to the main stage but will spread across Platia Nerou, where the audience can take part in special activations and booths themed around beauty, refreshment, coolness, indulgence, self-expression and fun.
Campaign theme
This year's campaign carries the slogan "Live the Reaction," which organizers said has already appeared on bus stops and metro trains around Athens ahead of the concert, carrying the festival's positive energy into commuters' daily routines. Organizers described the event as one where a reaction is not an emoji, a comment or a social media story, but the real moment experienced live in front of the stage.
Both Foureira and Rouvas have represented Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest and are established names in Greek pop music. Amita Motion, the juice brand behind the festival, is popular among young people in Greece and has organized the event for more than two decades.
How to watch
Organizers said anyone unable to attend in person at Platia Nerou can still follow the concert. The Day of Positive Energy 2026 will be livestreamed on Amita Motion's YouTube and TikTok channels, and the event will also be broadcast live from Platia Nerou on Mad Radio 106.2 between 18:00 and 21:00.
