Athens set to usher in new year with first ever silent fireworks

·

Athens will welcome 2025 with an unforgettable New Year’s Eve celebration at Syntagma Square, featuring a unique musical and theatrical experience titled “Rooftop of Time” (Ταράτσα του Χρόνου), created by renowned Greek rock musician Foivos Delivorias.

The event will kick off with a performance by the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Municipality of Athens, followed by a lively set from popular group Laternativ. The night will culminate with a DJ performance by Stavros Dioskouridis and Panagiotis Menegos from EnLefko 87.7, as the city counts down to midnight.

For the first time, Athens will celebrate the arrival of the new year with silent fireworks and a stunning drone light show, illuminating the skies above Syntagma Square in tribute to the city’s history and its future.

The highlight of the evening will be “Rooftop of Time,” a musical journey through Athens’ history, written by Delivorias and directed by Angelos Triantafyllou. The performance, a “time machine” of music, dance, and storytelling, will explore Athens’ evolution from 1945 to 2025.

Delivorias, along with Natassa Bofiliou, Martha Frintzila, and Thanasis Alevras, will guide the audience through different eras of Greek music, reflecting the cultural changes of the city.

A 10-piece orchestra, dancers choreographed by Evi Souli, and young vocalists will accompany the performance, enhanced by historical footage from Greek films and documentaries.

Athens Mayor Haris Doukas will join the artists on stage to count down to midnight, marking the city’s vibrant welcome to 2025.
