Takeover 2026: Capacity Building for Emerging Artists

For the third consecutive year and for two days in a row, Takeover Music Festival transforms Onassis Stegi Foundation into a vibrant hub of sound, knowledge and artistic expression and experimentation. Beyond the acclaimed concerts, DJ sets and performances of the previous years, now the Festival introduces for the first time a program of workshops and masterclasses related to the essence of its very own existence.

Apart from  the regular live shows, a wide variety of discussions, hands-on workshops and open meetings highlight and establish the liberating power of clubbing, inclusivity and the special dynamic of the contemporary electronic and underground music scene. This way, Takeover expands from a entertainment space to an area of experimentation, artistic innovation and skill development.

No matter the experience; Takeover Workshops rely on the creation of a diverse artistic backgrounds fusion where artistry and imagination blend together and face no limitations. Artists, producers, radio broadcasters, music industry professionals, and creators from a wide range of disciplines share their expertise, experiences, and creative practices, creating a unique space for learning, inspiration, and meaningful exchange. From one space to the next, new voices, diverse perspectives, and opportunities for discovery come together, reinforcing the idea that music is not merely something we consume, but something we learn, share, and co-create.
