In a disappointing turn of events for music fans, the highly anticipated debut performance of the American rock band Kings Of Leon in Greece has been cancelled.
The organisers of the AthensRocks festival announced today that the band will no longer headline this year’s event, scheduled for Saturday, July 5, at the Athens Olympic Complex.
In a brief statement released earlier today, the festival organisers cited “unforeseen circumstances” as the reason for the cancellation. While no further details were provided, AthensRocks assured ticket holders that refunds would be processed promptly without requiring any additional action on their part.
“We regret the inconvenience caused and thank the public for their understanding,” the statement concluded.
The cancellation marks a setback for the festival, which had promoted the Kings Of Leon performance as a major highlight of its 2025 lineup. Fans across Greece and beyond who were eager to see the Grammy-winning band live for the first time in the country will now have to wait for a future opportunity.
Ticket holders are advised to keep an eye out for updates regarding the refund process, which is expected to begin shortly. Further announcements about potential replacement acts or adjustments to the festival schedule have yet to be made.
