Argy brings his show to pyramids four and a half thousand years old
It is not his first night on the Giza plateau — but the first time he brings his own production there, not a DJ set.
The pyramids of Giza at night
Greek producer Argy will bring his live show NEWORLD to the pyramids of Giza. The event is set for November 6 and is staged by Egyptian promoter P+US.
This was announced by the organizers in the event listing.
The fine point is that this is not a debut. Argy already played by these same pyramids back in April 2025, at the Zamna Egypt festival. But then he was one of the headliners on someone else's event, and now he is bringing his own production in full.
What NEWORLD is
NEWORLD is not a DJ set but a theatrical live concept on the edge of melodic house and techno: its own stage design, a theme of ancestors and high fashion drawn into a single world. Argy first showed it at Tomorrowland 2025, and over the following year took it to Athens, Buenos Aires and Istanbul.
February 2026 brought the album NEWORLD II, which became the musical backbone of the show. Entry is strictly 21 and over, and the gates open at six in the evening.
Over the past few years the Giza plateau has turned into a format of its own for the electronic scene. Carl Cox and Adriatique have played here, last year Anyma brought his Quantum Genesys show to the site, and in October 2026 the EXIT Starlight festival takes place by the pyramids.
Promoter P+US has been working since 2019 and has staged events in Cairo, El Gouna, Doha, Athens and Beirut — among them nights with Anyma, Carl Cox, Tiësto and Miss Monique. The lineup for the November event has not been announced in full: the organizers promise more names.
Who Argy is
Argy is Argyris Theofilis, born in 1985 on the island of Rhodes, who moved to London at twenty. He debuted in 2005 on Berlin's Poker Flat, a few years later founded his own label These Days, and won wide recognition in 2023 with the track Aria, recorded together with Omnya for Afterlife.
For electronic music the pyramids have long been less a venue than a test: a stage there has to hold its own next to something that has stood on this plateau for forty-five centuries.
Earlier we wrote about how Anyma canceled his show in Istanbul — the same artist whose production by the pyramids became the benchmark for the format.
