It may be a music festival that lasts very few days, but it is one of the most popular in the country.

Ejekt Festival mainly hosts artists from the broader rock genre and in recent years, several metal bands have also been included. Some of the artists that have performed are The Chemical Brothers, New Order, Hooverphonic, Beasty Boys, James, Amy Winehouse, Moby, Kasabian, Petshop Boys, Parov Stelar, Muse, Killers, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Cure, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foals, Florence and the Machine, Korn, Bring me the Horizon, Maneskin and Nothing but Thieves.
It takes place during the summer months. It started at the Olympic baseball training centre in Elliniko (now demolished), then at the Olympic Fencing Centre in Elliniko (also demolished) and then, for several years, at Nerou Square and the Olympic Tae Kwo Do Indoor Arena in Phalero. In recent years, it has been held mainly at OAKA.
