Flying Away Art and Music Festival 2018

This September Concepto TORO presents the most beautiful and the most creative Art and Music Festival in Cyprus!

Flying Away Art and Music Festival continues its tradition with the 12th consecutive festival on the 7th, 8th and 9th of September at Orfeas stadium in the heart of Nicosia.

1 STAGE // 74 ART STALLS // 150+ ARTISTS // OPEN AIR // LIVE MUSIC // BAR SERVICES // STREET FOOD // CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND // LOUNGE AREA

Building on a decade of success, Flying Away Art and Music Festival, designed to act as a platform of multi-faceted cultural ideas and artistic creations, unites for once more dozens of artists and designers, talented musicians, DJ’s and live bands from Cyprus and abroad, with a loving audience that has been supporting the festival for almost 10 years now.

At the most authentic festival in Cyprus, the visitors have the opportunity to meet popular Cypriot Artists who exhibit a wide range of creations in specially designed stalls in the most beautiful way around the stadium. Amongst other things, there will also be an opportunity to purchase unique handmade artworks, travel photos, crafts, fine art pieces, illustrations and special handcrafted jewellery and fashion items that are created with lots of love and endless hours of work.

A festival with no music vibes is not a festival at all. Therefore, this year popular DJ’s will create the right atmosphere for the most beautiful and romantic Lives that will take off the three-day festival nights with music from favourite bands and singers from Cyprus and abroad!

This year, on the 7th of September, C:REAL, one of the most renowned pop-rock bands of the Greek music scene, with many successful hits, will take us on a journey with their timeless musical pieces. The evening takes off with a favourite Cypriot performer, who has touched many hearts and remains at the top for more than 18 years. Michalis Hatzigiannis, after a series of appearances in Greece and Cyprus, is coming in Nicosia, to give a performance with songs that have been linked to some of the most beloved moments of our lives but also songs from his recent album " Erotas Agathi " as a result of his collaboration with the lyricist Lina Nikolakopoulou.

On Saturday, September 8th, we will be ready to have fun with another great musician, Leonidas Balafas and his band. What do we have to do? Dance, dance and… d a n c e! Distinctive sounds and explosive live performances will come alive on stage by ‘MPLE’, a well-respected Greek band with their dynamic head-singer Georgia giving us another unforgettable evening closing the 2nd night of the festival.

On the last day of the festival, Sunday the 9th of September, we will be dancing to the biggest reggae, latin and ska hits on the magic carpet with Marcos and his band, Locomondo, one of the most famous and beloved bands in Greece, who will give us unparalleled joy and energy in another concert for the closing of our weekend.

As for food, it is now known that we love quality street food. More so, if coupled by the island’s favourite ice-cold beer. Unique recipes and flavours from Italy, Germany, Asia and Cyprus will be offered at the food stalls of the festival alongside vegetarian and vegan delicacies, juicy Cypriot Honey Dough balls, cool desserts with plenty of ice cream, rich coffees and freshly squeezed juices!

And finally, mums and dads, don’t even think about keeping the kids at home! For our little friends this year we join forces with the charity club 'YOUNG VOLUNTEERS'  who will create creative activities that combine learning and playing, next to our specially designed lounge area, giving families, grandparents, uncles and friends the chance to relax and spend a beautiful evening together.

At the favourite festival of the capital, the only one in Cyprus that combines art, music and activities for everyone, you will experience special moments with your loved ones, your family, your children and your dogs.

Remember, on September 7, 8 and 9, we'll see you at Orfeas stadium!
