Bloody Hawk
Summer 2025

August 8, 2025 – Ireon Music Festival / Samos

Thrax Punks is a band originating from Evros, a region in Thrace, Greece. The project began taking shape as early as 2006, initially with a purely traditional sound. Over the years, however, it evolved—incorporating contemporary aesthetics and musical elements from around the world, reflecting the diverse influences of its members.

Starting with performances at local festivals, traditional customs and weddings, and moving on to small festivals across Greece, the founding members—Vaitsis Charakopidis on gaida and kaval and George Stavridis on daouli and lyra—laid the foundation until 2010, when the band officially debuted under the name Thrax Punks at a festival. In 2015, with the arrival of Panos Gkinis on electric bass and guitar, the band’s sound took a more electrified turn—introducing live looping, psychedelic passages, heavy guitars, math-rock bursts, and a punk aesthetic.

Since then, they have performed at most of the major music festivals in Greece, as well as abroad in the UK, Germany and Cyprus. In 2016, they released their first EP titled Pankopanigiropsychedelia, and in 2019, their debut full-length album Thrax Punks, with sound engineer Markos Koutsianas joining the team and continuing to shape their sonic journey—marked by sold-out shows all across Greece. In spring of 2021, they composed original music for the ancient Greek tragedy The Bacchae, directed by Nikaite Kontouri. The production toured throughout Greece and Cyprus that summer, with the band performing live during shows at iconic venues such as the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, and the Municipal Theatre of Nicosia.

In summer of 2024, they released their second full-length album Thrax Punks 2, followed by a series of concerts throughout Greece and Europe, while currently working on new material for their next project.

Bloody Hawk
Summer 2025

August 8, 2025 – Ireon Music Festival / Samos

Bloody Hawk was born in Xanthi and began his career in 2012 at the age of 16. He is one of those rare artists who mature over time, flourish, grow in popularity and artistic stature, while never losing touch with the raw material that shaped his early steps.

A lover of the old-school rap scene, with a fresh vibe in every musical attempt, always innovative and hard-working like few others, despite all he has experienced and achieved in recent years, he remains the 'guy next door' who has been loved by those who have followed him from the beginning. Lyricism, realism, passion, and empowerment are some of the key elements that define his songs and identity, making him very popular even among younger generations.

With 5 full-length albums, each one better than the last, sweeping sold-out shows in stadiums and theaters in Greece and Cyprus, multiple awards and numerous social responsibility actions, Bloody Hawk has managed to establish himself as one of the top artists in the genre he represents, as well as one of the most popular and widely accepted Greek artists, regardless of stage or musical style, despite his young age.

“Chartis"

August 7, 2025 – Ireon Music Festival / Samos

Foivos Delivorias, after a long winter tour, once again unfolds the map of Greece before him, marks the cities, and begins the journey of his summer performance titled "Chartis" with the ambition to present it from one end of the country to the other!
On Thursday the 7th of August 2025, he will perform at Ireon Music Festival in Samos.
Foivos says: "This summer, I am eager to travel around Greece and make music with others.
"Chartis", my new concert project, is on the road, and I want to have with me the two musicians who have been my core companions in the world of musical concerns for 14 years: Kostis Christodoulou and Sotiris Douvas.

Piano-keyboards, drums, and me on guitar. We fit in one car, I bring them new songs every week, and we try them out in different parts of the country. We play the old ones, both faithful and unfaithful, diving deeper into them.
With us, Giannis Petrolias, a rare and inspired master of sound design. And Dimitris Makris, who will capture each of our visits through photos and videos.
So, let’s go where the map goes, find beautiful and restless people, and capture the moment with music.

Our goal is to go everywhere and light up the lights on the map in Greece, Cyprus, and friendly cities abroad. So, let’s set sail!"
