In March 2026, Alkinoos Ioannidis returns to the United Kingdom for three concerts that unfold as open musical encounters rather than fixed performances. Across Manchester, Edinburgh, and London, these nights invite the audience into a space where songs are revisited, reshaped, and allowed to evolve in real time.

11 March — Band on the Wall, Manchester
13 March — The Liquid Room, Edinburgh
15 March — Electric Ballroom, London

Sharing the stage with Ioannidis are four Cypriot musicians—new companions whose musical voices expand the emotional and rhythmic vocabulary of the set: Marios Takoushis (keyboards), Lefteris Moumtzis (bass), Yiannis Koutis (oud, guitar, percussion), and Nikolas Tsaggaris  (drums). 

Through the interplay of strings, keyboards, bass, and percussion, familiar compositions take on new shapes, revealing unexpected textures and fresh emotional depth.

The programme is driven by contrast and connection: moments of quiet reflection give way to surges of collective energy; carefully crafted arrangements open into passages of free improvisation. What emerges is a living conversation—between musicians, between musical traditions, and ultimately between the stage and the audience.

Rather than presenting a definitive version of the songs, these performances embrace transformation. They celebrate the joy of collaboration, the trust required to listen and respond, and the freedom that arises when different musical worlds are allowed to meet without borders.

Three cities, three nights, and a shared musical journey shaped by openness and human connection.
