New Year’s Eve Extravaganza at the SNFCC in Athens

The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) in Athens will ring in the new year with a phantasmagoria of fireworks, live music, a huge party, the first race of the year and ice skating into the night.

The New Year’s Eve program opens at 22.30 with African-Greek Idra Kayne and her 10-member band who will take the audience on a musical journey through the epoch-making disco, soul, hip hop and R&B hits from the ’80s to the present day.

The music show will include hits from Donna Summer, Dianna Ross and Whitney Houston to Dua Lipa, Mary J. Blige, Gorillaz, Eminem and Jay-Z.

The New Year will be ushered in with a spectacle of fireworks that will light up the Athenian sky, while the first few minutes of 2024 mark the start of the first race of the year, the long-established SNF RUN: 2024 FIRST RUN of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF).

Also, a huge party featuring iconic DJs is staged at the Agora. This year, the SNFCC will welcome Bill Brewster, one of the founders of London’s renowned Fabric dance club, best known for his imaginative way of mixing together many different kinds of music — from acid house and hip hop to disco and rock — to create a party atmosphere wherever he goes.

Hosted by Nandia Kontogeorgi, the New Year’s Eve extravaganza will include impressive choreographies of the Fountains at the Canal.

Moreover, the Ice Rink and Stavros Niarchos Park will stay open until 2 in the morning, just for this one night, for all those who wish to ring in the New Year with some figure-skating or playing with the impressive Light Installations. Unexpected treats and many more surprises complement the New Year’s Eve setting at the SNFCC.

The SNFCC’s festive event will be broadcast live by ERT3 and live-streamed on snfcc.org.
