This first-ever event, following a long-standing partnership between Aria Group and MAD TV, brings a unique blend of Korean and Asian Pop Culture and Music to Greece and the Balkan region. Positioned the day after the highly televised MAD VMAs, Aria Fest aims to merge the musical traditions of the East and West with unprecedented performances and production, marking a new milestone in international music festivals.

The member of EXO was recently cast in the title role of the South Korean musical production Mozart! His second mini-album, “Grey Suit” was released in March 2022, and fans can expect to hear their favourite tracks performed live!
