The Gipsy Kings, Bananafishbones, and Marina Satti are among the popular acts set to perform at the concerts held alongside the 88th Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF) this September.

Taking place from September 7 to 15 in Thessaloniki, the TIF is recognized as Southeast Europe’s largest annual trade event, bringing together leading professionals from the business and political sectors. Organized by TIF-Helexpo, the fair will host numerous B2B and B2C activities, along with a wide array of entertainment and cultural events open to the public.

“The TIF has traditionally supported musical events (Greek Song Festival, International Music Days), contributing significantly and for many years to the promotion of new and classical sounds,” organizers said in a recent announcement.
