Event Details
Shapes Festival Zakynthos 2026
From 26 July to 2 August 2026, the Shapes Festival transforms the Greek island of Zakynthos into one of Europe's most exciting destinations for electronic music. The globe-trotting festival concept brings artists and festival-goers to extraordinary locations: beaches, pool bars, boat decks, gardens, hilltops and club venues spread across Zakynthos Town and Argassi.
Shapes is not a traditional single-site festival. It is a multi-day island adventure where every event has its own character and every venue its own magic. Whether it is House, Techno, Deep House, Funk, Soul or Disco, the lineup brings together international headliners and rising talents for a music experience found nowhere else in Europe.
