Live: Low @ Summer Nostos Festival (S.N.F.C.C., Athens, June 27th, 2019)

Just before their appearance at Glastonbury, Low played at Summer Nostos Festival in Athens, a free event organized by Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center. This was their second and biggest show in Athens so far (check out here our coverage of their first time), in which the Minnesota trio presented highlights from their many excellent albums and of course from 2018's highly praised "Double Negative".

Check out below our photos and videos from the event, which was one of the top live performances in Athens for the first half of the year, and stay tuned for more live action in the coming weeks as our plans for July, if all goes well, include some pretty exciting names (The National, The Cure, Ride to name a few)!

 

Low - Always Trying to Work It Out (live in Athens)

Low - Last snowstorm of the year (live in Athens)
