Annis Rallis Celebrates Debut EP ‘Eyes Wide Open’ at The Forum Darlington

Annis Rallis Eyes Wide Open EP Launch comes to The Forum Music Centre in Darlington on Wednesday 21 October, as the British-Greek singer-songwriter celebrates her debut EP with a full-band show and North East support.

After travelling the world performing in West End and international theatre productions, Rallis has returned to the North East to focus on her own music. Eyes Wide Open marks a new chapter, bringing together pop and country influences with Mediterranean touches inspired by her Greek roots.

The three-track debut EP will be at the heart of the Darlington show. Two tracks are already available ahead of the gig, while the final song is set to be revealed closer to the night. Rallis will perform with her full band, alongside more of her original material.

There’s a strong local focus too. The event is being presented by Kennedy Music Management, while The Forum confirms that some of the North East’s local talent will join Rallis, with support acts still to be announced. That gives the EP launch a wider community feel rather than simply being a headline set.

Music, art and North East talent

The visual side of Eyes Wide Open has a particularly personal connection. Its original artwork was painted by Rallis’ Greek grandmother, and limited T-shirts and tote bags featuring the design will be available on the night.

Rallis says the support she has received since returning home has made the launch particularly meaningful, with the night intended to celebrate the talent, creativity and community around her in the North East.

Annis Rallis: Eyes Wide Open EP Launch takes place at The Forum Music Centre, Borough Road, Darlington, on Wednesday 21 October 2026. Doors open at 7:30pm, with the show expected to begin at approximately 8pm and finish at 10pm. Tickets are £12. The event is standing and is 16+, with under-18s required to attend with an adult.

Tickets and official event information are available from The Forum Music Centre.
