Welcome to Fengaros High 2026! Fengaros High returns for its fourth edition - not just a concert, it’s a four-month long programme that helps young musicians showcase their original music and kickstart their music career. Young artists and musicians born in 2007 or later can now apply to take part and be considered for the live auditions. This year’s artistic committee - Alejjos, Athina Kasiou, Freideriki Tombazou, Maria Kouvarou, Marios Takoushis and Michalis Savva - will select six acts from the auditions to move onto the final stage of the programme. The six artists selected will get to take part in mentoring sessions with each member of the artistic committee before taking the stage on May 9th at Dali Amphitheatre for the big concert. Hosted by Elena Olympiou, each artist will perform their original music while the audience votes for their favourite acts. The most voted act will receive a €2,000 voucher to record at Studio eleven63 and the top three winners will all get to perform at Fengaros Festival 2026. All six finalists will take part in masterclasses throughout the programme and will get to attend Fengaros Music Village for half the price.
