Greek Rock takes the spotlight at IHO NYX tribute concert in Sydney

·

Greek Rock made a powerful impact in Sydney on Sunday night as IHO NYX delivered an electrifying tribute concert at The Factory Theatre in Marrickville.

Presented by the Greek Festival of Sydney, the event celebrated one of the lesser-known yet influential genres of Hellenic music.

Taking a departure from their usual tributes to individual artists, IHO NYX showcased a wide selection of songs spanning from the 1970s to today.

The concert featured music by iconic bands such as Trypes, Xylina Spathia, Ypogeia Revmata, Pyx Lax, and artists including Papakonstantinou, Sidiropoulos, Yiokarinis and Tzimis Panousis. Guest performer Carly Yelayiotis also joined the band on stage.

The two-hour performance delivered familiar favourites and lesser-known gems.

The sold-out event was met with an enthusiastic response, highlighting the enduring appeal and cultural richness of Greek Rock in Australia.
