Socrates Malamas Concert in Rizoupoli: A Van Gogh-Like Experience

The devoted audience ‘exploded’ during the concert of singer Socrates Malamas, which took place at the Rizoupoli Stadium on July 15-16, 2025. By his side, Julia Karapatatou also performed. The two artists electrified the crowd with their interpretations and songs. Proof of this is an incredible panoramic video published on social media, showing the frenzy that erupted when the musicians started playing the beloved Icarian dance. As seen in the footage, the stadium was packed with people forming irregular circles to dance the traditional piece. The image of the dozens of dance circles looks like a psychedelic picture from afar. The audience appears to be thoroughly enjoying the song. Many users even compared this image to a painting by Van Gogh. Not unjustifiably, the moment is akin to a living artwork composed of bodies dancing to the rhythms of the traditional tune.
