Ioulia Karapataki to Headline Antipodes Festival

The Greek Community of Melbourne is delighted to announce that the headline act for its annual great Greek gathering is the popular festival singer Ioulia Karapataki.

Synonymous with upbeat festival performances, the diminutive singer with the velvety voice will bring her dynamic performance to the famous outdoor festival in Melbourne.

Karapataki will perform at the Antipodes Festival in Melbourne on Saturday 28 February.

Karapataki’s broad repertoire blends contemporary Greek sounds with strong folk influences. Her reputation as a stellar performer was only further enhanced most recently with the electric rendition of “To Glenti” “Το Γλέντι” which dominated the Greek summer airwaves and social media streams.

Director of the Antipodes Festival, Jorge Menidis, said Karapataki is a perfect fit for the festival’s 2026 program.

“Ioulia Karapataki has been a much sought after artist that we are most excited and delighted to showcase. Her energy is contagious and her connection with audiences is immediate. She is a perfect headliner for our 75+ hour program and we’re excited to bring her spirit to Melbourne as part of Antipodes.”

With her growing profile, dynamic performances and unmistakable on-stage charisma, Ioulia Karapataki’s Melbourne appearance is set to be a standout moment, offering audiences a vibrant, high-energy celebration of contemporary Greek music.
