Summer 2025

Locomondo are celebrating! Twenty-two years on stage together, twenty-two years of concerts - winter or summer - in Greece and abroad! The great musical company of reggae, ska and latin rhythms has won the hearts of everybody, for years everywhere, since "it's not cold in Greece, it's never been cold", a lyric that hasn't left even the audience unmoved at concerts in Europe!

Locomondo, one of the most famous, young and beloved bands in Greece, comes to Ireon Music Festival’s stage to give you an unforgettable concert party.

With a mixture of reggae, ska, latin, rock and Greek traditional rhythms, Locomondo manage to stir up audiences of all ages and unite us all in one big group of endless dancing.

Having travelled many kilometres and having performed countless live performances, they know very well how to set the pulse and get the audience going with their "upbeat" rhythms and their favourite songs such as "Den kanei kryo stin Ellada", "Magico Hali", "80's" and rap, ska, reggae, hip-hop, dub, ska, reggae, onedrop.

This year, we will all welcome the summer together by singing and dancing to their greatest hits!

Locomondo was founded in 2003 in Athens by Markos Koumaris and Yannis Varnavas. Since their beginning, their songs have been on the playlist of several Europ1324ean stations. In 2005 they traveled to Jamaica and record with the legendary trombonist Vin Gordon - it is the first time a Greek band has recorded in Jamaica. Two years later they opened for Manu Chao, in his big concert in Malakasa.

Since then, they have been on an upward trajectory. They have recorded over nine albums and have played in some of the biggest concert venues in Greece and abroad, including Germany, France, Italy, Bulgaria, Turkey, etc.
