The 9th edition of Athens Music Week is coming! Save the date: 12–15 May 2027.

Last May, more than 1,000 delegates from over 30 countries joined us in Athens for four days of music, ideas and exchange. With 196 speakers, more than 100 sessions and activities, and 30 showcase acts, AMW 2026 brought together artists, music entrepreneurs and professionals working across different parts of the music industry.

We discussed touring, music rights, AI, new technologies and some of the challenges facing our industry and society. There were workshops, networking sessions, live performances and plenty of conversations that continued over coffee, lunch or a drink.

But beyond the programme itself, what matters most to us is what people take home with them.

For an artist, it might be meeting a festival booker or discovering a new opportunity to perform abroad. For a label or manager, understanding another market or finding someone to work with. For someone developing a new music-tech project, getting useful feedback or meeting people who understand the challenges they’re facing.

Sometimes, it’s simply a conversation with someone you wouldn’t otherwise have met.

Six months later, we hope some of those encounters have led to new conversations, collaborations and opportunities. Not everything happens during the event itself, and that’s an important part of why we bring people together.

Looking towards AMW 2027

Over the coming months, we’ll revisit some moments from AMW 2026, share updates from our community and gradually introduce what we’re preparing for the next edition.

We’re also working on new ways for artists, music professionals and organisations to connect, learn and develop opportunities before they arrive in Athens.

The 9th Athens Music Week takes place 12–15 May 2027, with Goethe-Institut Athens as the main conference venue.

See you in Athens next May. In the meantime, there’s still plenty happening!
