Nicosia is about to feel the Rihanna effect. While the global superstar herself won’t be touching down in Cyprus, the next best thing is: Brazil’s Rose Cohen, the world’s top Rihanna impersonator, is bringing the fire of the iconic Super Bowl halftime show to life at EATmosphere – Exhibition & Food Festival 2025, happening Friday, May 16 at the Cyprus Expo Center.*/

In what’s being billed as one of the boldest summer openings on the island, EATmosphere promises a festival experience that blends global street food, jaw-dropping performances, and all-day entertainment for the entire family. The event kicks off at 17:00 and aims to turn the capital into a feast of sights, sounds, and flavors.

Topping the lineup is Cohen’s explosive tribute performance — a high-energy spectacle that channels Rihanna’s stage presence, choreography, and attitude in a production that has stunned audiences worldwide.

But there’s more:

• Culinary delights from around the globe, from spicy Asian bites to classic American BBQ
