The Dream Syndicate Live in Athens
The legendary American alternative band The Dream Syndicate returns to Athens for a one-night-only performance. Celebrated as pioneers of the 1980s Paisley Underground scene and influential across generations of music lovers, the band will deliver a two-part show:

  • First, a best-of set, featuring their iconic tracks from The Days of Wine and Roses to their most recent work.

  • Then, for the first time ever live, the band will perform their seminal 1984 album “Medicine Show” in its entirety.

This tour coincides with the long-awaited reissue of “Medicine Show”, following years of legal battles through which The Dream Syndicate regained the rights to the album. The remastered release comes in a 4-CD box set and vinyl, via the band’s own Down There Records, distributed by Fire Records.

The Athens show features the band’s classic lineup:

  • Steve Wynn – vocals, guitar

  • Dennis Duck – drums

  • Mark Walton – bass

  • Jason Victor – guitar

  • Chris Cacavas – keyboards (Green on Red)

Since forming in Los Angeles in 1982, The Dream Syndicate have fused the energy of punk with 60s psychedelia and the dark, moody edge of early indie rock. Their sound has evolved over the decades while retaining the intensity, passion, and authenticity that define a band playing for substance over style.

“Medicine Show” has long been recognized as an underrated masterpiece, an album that demands to be experienced fully. Forty years on, its power, depth, and relevance are stronger than ever.

This Athens performance promises to be a celebration of sound, history, and spirit, honoring a band that continues to inspire, evolve, and prove why its legend remains alive.
