«Cigarettes After Sex», the American dream pop band that has earned a special place in the hearts of Greeks, returned to Athens for two enchanting, sold-out concerts at Telekom Center Athens on October 25 and 26. The atmosphere was magical and full of emotion, as fans eagerly awaited the chance to experience their favorite band live.
Since their first appearance in the country, «Cigarettes After Sex» have managed to form a strong bond with their fans, as their melodies and lyrics perfectly resonate with the sensitivity of the Greek audience. With songs like «Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You Baby» and «K», CAS have created an emotional musical sanctuary that makes them especially beloved by Greek listeners.
The audience’s love was perfectly reflected in the two consecutive sold-out shows, proving that their popularity in Greece remains strong and unwavering. The thousands of fans who filled the Telekom Center Athens arena over these two nights eagerly awaited the chance to get lost in the dreamlike sound that the band creates with unparalleled mastery. The band’s frontman, Greg Gonzalez, with his signature velvety voice, brought a wave of calm and melancholic sensitivity to the arena. With soft tones and carefully designed lighting adding a cinematic feel to the performance, the audience felt completely immersed in another world.
From the very first moments, the atmosphere was utterly enchanting. The lights dimmed, and the first chords from the guitar signaled the start of a musical journey that defies the boundaries of space and time. Every CAS song is a little sonic poem, and the Greek fans felt its full depth, softly singing along and moving to the rhythm.
The setlist included both beloved classic hits and selections from their latest album, allowing the audience to enjoy the band’s evolution across all stages of their career. Among others, songs like «Apocalypse», «Heavenly», and the fan favorite «Each Time You Fall in Love» were performed, while the audience savored the melodies and lyrics that speak of love, loss, and the delicate pathways of human emotion.
The audience’s response was moving, with fans erupting into applause and singing every lyric, making the experience warmer and more personal. It wasn’t just a concert, but an emotional “co-starring” experience, where the band and the audience became one, creating an atmosphere that felt like a musical journey between dream and reality.
The «Cigarettes After Sex» concerts at Telekom Center Athens left an indelible mark on the hearts of those in attendance. With a sound that balances between nostalgia and contemporary sensitivity, CAS once again confirmed that they are a band for those who love music as a form of personal expression and emotional uplift.
This double performance in Athens gave fans the chance to connect even more deeply with the band’s music and experience something truly unforgettable. Cigarettes After Sex, with their distinctive sound and disarming simplicity, gifted us two magical nights that will be hard to forget.
Telekom Center Athens presents the new Members Club, a unique space created to elevate the hospitality experience through a combination of high aesthetics, understated luxury, and contemporary design.
With a total surface area of 1,220 sq.m., the Members Club was created to serve as a multidimensional space for meetings, socializing, gastronomy, and events, combining the atmosphere of a historic private club with the contemporary demands of a state-of-the-art, multifunctional venue.
The design concept
Interior designer Kostas Gagkos and his team approached the design of the Members Club with classical aesthetics as a key influence and symmetry as a guiding principle—an element deeply connected to timeless design and a sense of harmony. The philosophy of the space is based on creating an environment that exudes balance, elegance, and understated luxury, offering a high-standard hospitality experience.
Symmetry formed the core of the entire architectural composition. All functions and individual elements were organized along a central conceptual axis, creating a sense of coherence and grandeur within the space. A key feature of this design approach is the two “twin” bars, which are positioned symmetrically and serve as defining focal points of the Members Club.
There are stadiums that host games and stadiums that make history. Telekom Center Athens clearly belongs to the latter category.
After 19 home games in this year’s EuroLeague, it’s official confirmation of what everyone already knew: Telekom Center Athens is the noisiest venue in the competition. Panathinaikos AKTOR fans recorded the highest decibel levels of any European venue in 13 games, winning the “battle of the stands.”
It’s not often that you feel like you’re stepping into a space and leaving your daily routine behind and stepping straight into a celebration. That’s exactly what those who attended Telekom Center Athens on Sunday, April 5, felt on a night that looked like it would be something special. More than 8,000 spectators packed the venue’s Main Arena, filling every corner with energy, impatience and a mood for fun.

As part of their 100-year anniversary tour, they presented an impressive spectacle full of rhythm and imagination: perfectly synchronized moves, inventive tricks and nail-biters that thrilled the audience.
