Info
On March 30, 2027, Villagers of Ioannina City land at Manchester Academy for a night built on their unmistakable blend of heavy rock and Epirus-rooted folk traditions. Formed in Greece and active since 2007, the band has shaped a sound where thick, driving guitars meet hypnotic rhythms, while clarinet, bagpipes and flute cut through like lead instruments rather than decoration.
If you know Riza, you’ll recognise that raw, earthy pulse; if you came in through Age of Aquarius, expect a wider, more expansive side to their songwriting, with long builds and sudden shifts that pull you into a kind of shared trance. Live is where VIC really clicks: extended passages, tension-and-release dynamics, and that collective feeling they’ve captured on their Athens recording Through Space and Time – Alive. Special guests are still to be announced, but the main draw is clear: a set that treats tradition as fuel, not nostalgia.
