Dimitri Vegas, one of the most recognizable and influential DJs and producers worldwide, arrives at Universe Multivenue on Friday, March 6, 2026, for an exclusive live DJ set. With a career spanning over two decades and a permanent fixture at the forefront of the international electronic scene, Dimitri Vegas is the force behind some of modern EDM’s most iconic tracks—including Woops, Tremor, and The Hum—which collectively boast over 300 million streams on Spotify.

The night’s lineup is rounded out by Manolaco and Lost Prince, two leading names in the contemporary electronic circuit. Manolaco remains a cornerstone of Greek club culture, with a long-standing presence and signature groove-driven sets that have shaped the local scene. Lost Prince stands out for his hypnotic, melodic techno sound, delivering atmospheric and intense sets that build tension and raw emotion on the dancefloor.

A perennial headliner at the world's biggest festivals and a benchmark for modern dance culture, Dimitri Vegas promises a high-energy night defined by his trademark build-ups and powerful drops. His set is specifically designed for the Universe space, transforming the performance into a complete audiovisual experience where sound and digital visuals function as a single, immersive entity.

The event is produced by DRGNBLL (Dragonball), a dynamic new booking and entertainment brand dedicated to developing and executing high-specification modern musical experiences. With an emphasis on the international scene, technology, and contemporary aesthetics, DRGNBLL aims to redefine how major electronic acts are presented in Greece.

At Universe Multivenue, every night is unique. Cutting-edge sound and lighting technology meet world-class productions, creating a new landmark for live events in Athens.

Kostyantyn is Vienna’s self-proclaimed best well-dressed comedian. Born in Donetsk, raised in Athens, and currently based in Vienna, Kostyantyn is touring his new show ‘Victim of Love’ and bringing it home for one night only! 

Victim of Love is a raw, unfiltered, painfully relatable comedy hour about dating disasters, emotional chaos, and the questionable decisions that led one very well-dressed man to write an entire show about his love life. This show is all about the messy, modern chaos of trying to find love when everything seems designed to break you.

Kostyantyn takes the stage with nothing but a microphone, too much emotional baggage, and a long list of romantic failures; and serves them to you on a platter of comedy gold. 

This is the kind of show where you laugh hard, nod silently, and think:

“Wow… I’ve made all those mistakes too.”

A regular at The Comedy Pub in Vienna, Kostyantyn has also performed at clubs including Backyard Comedy Club (London), Cosmic Comedy Club (Berlin), Lucky Punch & The Jungle Comedy Club (Munich), Metro Comedy Club (Prague), and The Fool & Club 99 (Bucharest).

He is currently performing his work-in-progress solo show “Victim of Love,” a brutally honest hour about dating disasters, romantic optimism, and why modern love sometimes feels like a subscription service you forgot to cancel.

FokiaNou Art Space presents the group exhibition “A Closer Look II” with works by five artists who explore different aspects of the human experience. The exhibition focuses on detail and deeper observation, from the body and the city to nature and memory.

Duration: March 19 – April 4, 2026

Opening:  Thursday, March 19, 18:00  Hours: Thursday – Saturday, 17:00–20:00 

Buschbeck explores the delicate conversation between man and nature: the eternal rhythm of blossoming and decay, the traces of transformation, light and darkness. She wonders how nature reflects man and whether the earth can hold a memory, where time ends and memory persists.

 

Gounari explores the invisible ecologies of the natural world through digitally transformed landscape photographs. Roots, rocks, foliage and water flows reveal underground networks and interdependencies that are usually hidden. The negative color palette destabilizes the visual habit, suggesting the landscape as a living, multi-layered system.

 

A year after the great fires, Zachariou returns to the burnt landscapes of Penteli, Parnitha and Rhodes. Her photographic eye captures the fragile balance between the loss and regeneration of a landscape that is slowly transforming, within a world of climate change.

 

Kantas approaches functional dyspepsia as a psychosomatic phenomenon and wanders around Athens following the traces of physical discomfort. The body becomes a tool for reading the urban landscape, revealing stories that persist beneath the surface.

 

Her photographic wanderings in Palermo map a city through the desires of her friends. From the intensity of the markets to the silence of the churches, her images combine sweetness, mortality and sunlight, revealing the many layers of the urban experience.

 

Participants: Bettina Buschbeck, Dimitra Gounari, Kyveli Zachariou, Vassilis Kantas, Georgia Touliatou. Curated by Mary Cox and Panagiotis Voulgaris.

 

FokiaNou Art Space is an active and open creative hub, promoting collaboration between Greek and international artists. In 2024, it celebrated ten years of continuous presence, having presented, under the curatorship of Panagiotis Voulgaris and Mary Cox, more than 70 group, solo and interdisciplinary exhibitions, as well as workshops and lectures. Its outward-looking character is further strengthened through participation in major international events, such as the TRYST Art Fair at the Torrance Art Museum in Los Angeles, the Athena exhibition in Karlsruhe (2025) and the SuperMarket Independent Art Fair in Stockholm (2023, 2019), contributing to the interconnection of independent art spaces and the creation of a broader international network of collaborations. 

After a banging premiere on January 25th, HOI POLLOI improv troupe invites you to more hilarious, awkward, improv shows powered by the Athens English Comedy Club and House of Improv!

🥳 Hoi Polloi welcome you to an evening of pure fun. Featuring some of Athens’ most experienced performers, their fast-paced comedy is created right here, right now, as you watch. 

💪 A team of improvisers take inspiration from the crowd at the beginning of the show and then perform a random number of scenes. Some scenes will appear once and then disappear forever, other scenes or characters might reappear. Free improv utilizes all the tools of improvisation theater, offering stories and scenes that can be both funny and dramatic, surreal and grounded, short and long. 

✋ A single suggestion from the audience will see them build a world where human flaws and frailties are on full display, bringing glorious laughs and moments of touching joy.

😆 Expect bold characters, unexpected connections, joyful chaos, and those beautifully awkward situations. 

💥 A show where ideas and references collide and nothing ever quite goes as planned. 

⁉ Every night will be completely different, and anything can happen.

This is improv that celebrates the weird, warm, confusing, and human side of all of us, performed in - let's be real - moderate English. 

🤝 The HOI POLLOI (/ˌhɔɪ pəˈlɔɪ/ from the greek words “the many”) troupe is made up of experienced improvisers with 3 to 15 years of practice. After performing together regularly they decided to join forces and creating a new, unstoppable, ensemble. 

🎆 Created with the vision to offer amazing improv to English speakers in Athens, they bring diverse backgrounds, strong chemistry, and a shared love for playful, honest scenes. 

😎 Funny, awkward, energetic, and sometimes touching — their focus is always great improv, making eachother and the audience look good, and creating a great night out.
