Jain and Telenova, the latest additions to Release Athens 2024 lineup
Release Athens 2024 welcomes Jain and Telenova on Saturday June 15th, at Plateia Nerou. The French singer and producer, who has been blowing people’s minds in recent years with super hits like “Makeba”, “Come”, “Alright”, and the fast-rising cinematic trio from Australia, are the first names for the freshest and most danceable night of this year’s event. Another big act will be announced soon for this day of the festival.
French pop singer Jain has earned acclaim for her vibrant multicultural style influenced by the many places she has called home. Growing up in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the Congo, she soaked up the distinctive music traditions and cultures of these regions and integrated them into her diverse sound. As a teenager, she began combining Arabic and African rhythms with electronic music, creating a truly personal style.
Her distinctive sound, full of urban concerns and political awareness, helped her build a devoted fan base online. As a result, her debut album “Zanaka” (2016) went gold and sold over 1 million copies. Her sophomore LP “Souldier” (2018), took France (her she lives now) by storm, topping the charts and earning a place among the most successful albums of the year.
With the release of her third album “Fool” (2023), Jain is now recognised as one of the most original artists of our time, with a unique and bold sound that combines a dance-worthy vibe with the pop aesthetics of today. On June 15th, we will be able to enjoy her live for the first time in our country.

Telenova formed in 2020 in Melbourne, Australia. The band consists of vocalist, songwriter and filmmaker Angeline Armstrong and multi-instrumentalists Edward Quinn and Joshua Moriarty.
Their sample-driven songs combine trip-hop and dance-pop, as evidenced at their debut EP “Tranquilize”, released in 2021. Propelled by the lead single “Bones” and the sweeping follow-up EP “Stained Glass Love”, Telenova have built a dedicated audience in their home country and beyond, with support from BBC 6 Music, KCRW, Vogue Paris, NME, Triple J and other major radio stations around the world.
Accolades followed, including the 2022 AIR Breakthrough Artist award, sold-out tours and appearances at all the major festivals across Australia, millions of streams and, of course, a beautiful cover of Madonna’s ‘Hung Up’ that sent their popularity soaring. Without a doubt, Telenova is a name you will be hearing a lot more of in the years to come.
