Madrugada and Sivert Høyem (front man & vocalist) have been performing live in Greece for more than 20 years. They have built a very strong bond with the Greek audience «Madrugada and Greece, it’s kind of a love affair…» according to Sivert. This specific event, maybe their most ambitious so far, was planned to take place in Athens, in this historic venue, the Panathenaic Stadium (Kallimarmaro).
I shot Sivert for the first time back in 2017 in Gagarin 205, while he was touring with a new band project Paradise prior to the Madrugada reunion. You can check my photo report here: Paradise, George Gaudy & Sun @ Gagarin 205 (25/11/2017).
In 2019 I had the honor to shoot them at their second day of a two day event in Faliro Sports Arena - Tae Kwon Do, part of their Industrial Silence Tour. You can check my photo report here: Madrugada, Luke Elliot @ Faliro Sports Arena - Tae Kwon Do (07/04/2019).
And now, with a new album called Chimes At Midnight, released earlier this year, they returned for one of their biggest concerts ever.
