The network’s aim is to highlight the stressful situation and specific needs of today’s cultural independence, which is neither under the control of any public authorities nor affiliated with large private groups.
Working together to redesign (reset) the cultural and media landscape in Europe is Reset!’s main purpose. In its second year, Reset! and its members wish to declare their need to advocate and support their shared values of pluralism, diversity, equality and sustainability on the road to the European Elections 2024.
Europe is at a turning point. At a time when war is resurfacing on the continent, obscurantist, reactionary, and authoritarian forces are rising to power in several countries, exerting an unusual pressure of censorship towards the freedom of expression and cultural exchange. Independent media and cultural players are currently, and more than ever, under many different threats, from disappearance to repression to takeover, along with the ongoing economic concentration of their sector.
Despite being weakened, these structures are nevertheless well equipped to respond to the tensions that Europe is currently facing, persistently developing new approaches and narratives to navigate in the current complex climate of economic and political interests as well as their threatening power dynamics.

Stay tuned on our social media and website of reworks
for all the forthcoming news and announcements.
From its very first day, reworks presents the wide spectrum of contemporary electronic music in Greece as a living part of Thessaloniki. Taking place in different locations throughout the city on every edition, reworks tells a unique story to its visitors.
From the east to the west side of Thessaloniki, reworks creates cultural bridges, presenting different areas of the city, breaking stereotypes, by showcasing the different aspects of electronic music and its relation with the urban space. This philosophy, of evolving various different places, creating practically a journey within the city, is considered a novelty for the Greek festival standards.
In its 19th edition, reworks will present its content on 4 different locations in Thessaloniki. DJ and live performances will take place on some of the most emblematic locations of the city, while reworks will return back to its roots, to the place where it first started and bloomed.
Palataki (Royal Palace) is the neoclassical mansion located at the cape of Karabournaki in Kalamaria (Thessaloniki) and has probably the finest view in the city. It is a fine example of neoclassical architecture, designed in the 1950s by I. Christopoulos.
The Royal Palace is not open to the public. Following the success of reworks, reworks agora and preworks in 2021 and 2022, we are ready to return to the yard of this emblematic location for a 3-day music experience.
The yard of the imposing historical building will host reworks by day on Wednesday 20th, Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd of September .
Practical info:
Block 33 is one of the most known concert and event areas in Thessaloniki. Located on a historic building, it has been a reworks spot several times in the last decade and we are ready to go back dancing on a two floor evening on Friday night, September 22nd.
On Saturday, September 23rd reworks will come together with old and young friends at a really emotional place, where it was born and where it presented through the years hundreds of artists, a place where it evolved and felt loved, offering many experiences and thrilling moments to all of us.
Mylos complex will bring back memories from the previous editions, with 5 stages and plenty of musical choices from the wide spectrum of electronic, experimental, house and techno.
On Sunday, September 24th, our drive on the West Side of Thessaloniki will eventually bring us to The Met Hotel and its wonderful rooftop with a 360 view of the city, where reworks will declare its finale in the best way possible, by dancing with an amazing view, renewing the date for the next year.
Berlin’s Paul Kalkbrenner has charted a career path like no other. A techno talent, who over the course of two decades has emerged from the underground, to top charts, act in and soundtrack a movie, headline festivals and amass millions of fans, all while refusing to compromise his grand techno sound.
Kalkbrenner is synonymous with dance music. He is a figurehead and pioneer in the electronic music scene, an uncompromising artist who has endured despite dance music’s fickle trends and obsession with the new.
Thessaloniki loves him so much and each one of his past appearances is an absolute highlight and landmark in the history of reworks. We are more than excited for his return and we are looking forward to his show at reworks day 3, on Friday September 22nd.
Stereo Nova came suddenly on the surface for the first time in 1992. With their emblematic first self titled album they have changed the way that everyone was listening to music. It is not an exaggeration to say that Konstantinos Bhta and Michael Delta have shaped the modern sound of the 90s in the country. Reflecting the period they have created tracks about the urban and dystopian landscape of the metropolis, the daily routine, the late hour illegal rave parties and the club culture as a phenomenon, combined with a romantic innocence and a unique musical identity, sweet and so updated.
Most of the youth have been nurtured via this Stereo Nova era. With five timeless albums that they released with 5 years, they have influenced far too many eversince. “New Life 705”, “Puzzle in the air”, “Little Boy”, ῾Wireless world”, the masterpiece album “Telson” which is regarded as one of the most important albums of all time in Greece, “Vitamina Tek” have left their stigma and sound as refreshing as they have been made today. Being on the top of the game, the duo decides to split in 1997 each one following a remarkable solo career.
In the meantime, with no new work or performances as Stereo Nova still their music through its longevity has continued to preserve their myth. Until 2018 when out of nowhere they announced a new album after 20 years titled “Uranos”. And 5 years after a new single titled “Irida” just came out recently starting a new promising chapter for them.
During those 26 years Stereo Nova have not performed at all except 3 times all of them in Athens. Their performance for the European Capital of Culture in 2023 has opened up a window of hope that Stereo Nova might perform again. Only 2 performances have been announced, one in Athens in July.
As for the second? We are honored and delighted to welcome this important and legendary group on Thursday 21st of September on reworks, after 26 years on a show that will make history.
In 2023 reworks curates a line up that celebrates club culture. A host of great DJs from all over the world will be at reworks showcasing the wide variety of sound that dominates the world stage today. At the same time, reworks will present selected emblematic live shows which will be a point of reference in the history of reworks.
Reworks is the pioneer electronic music festival of Greece and among the known in Europe presenting the wide spectrum of electronic music and its relation with other music genres since 2005.
Every year, reworks transforms the city of Thessaloniki into a meeting place between friends of advanced music from the city, the whole country and beyond. Five days full of sounds, in different spots create an inner city journey, presenting the unique vibe of the city throughout different experiences under the creative philosophy and celebratory atmosphere of reworks. DJs, live performances from artists from all over the world, but also the domestic scene of Greece and the local city of Thessaloniki create a mosaic from the east to the west side of the city and inbetween.
Approaching the two-decade landmark of its existence, the 19th edition of reworks will present different aspects of the electronic sound, being an open platform of creativity and expression, building bridges between different scenes, generations and norms.

Πέρσι το preworks παρουσίασε τους ARTBAT, τον Ison και τον Symmetric σε ένα μοναδικό απόγευμα το οποίο ακόμη έχουμε στην μνήμη μας.
Αυτή τη χρονιά υποδεχόμαστε τον Innellea, έναν από τους πιο αγαπητούς και επιτυχημένους παραγωγούς/djs της γενιάς του. Με δεκάδες chart topping tracks κι ένα πρόγραμμα ασφυκτικά γεμάτο για τους επόμενους μήνες, ο Innellea επιστρέφει σε έναν χώρο που λάτρεψε και γνώρισε την αποθέωση λίγους μήνες πριν στο Reworks Festival.
Σε αυτό το απόγευμα που προμηνύεται συναρπαστικό, θα βρίσκονται μαζί μας και οι Adana Twins. Το chart-topping δίδυμο βρίσκεται αυτή τη στιγμή στο καλύτερο σημείο της καριέρας του, με συμμετοχές στα μεγαλύτερα φεστιβάλ και παραγωγές που υποστηρίζονται από τους κορυφαίους της σκηνής.
