Financial details behind Anna Vissi's historic OAKA concert
On Saturday, September 26, 2026, Greek singer Anna Vissi held a sold-out concert at the OAKA stadium in Athens, drawing approximately 95,000 spectators. The event was managed by D&A Productions, a Cyprus-based company founded by Anna Vissi and Dimitra Kousta in 2025.
Despite the significant attendance, reports indicate the concert resulted in a financial deficit. According to journalist Thanos Vagios, production costs reached approximately 10 million euros, while revenues were estimated at 7 million euros, resulting in a loss of about 3 million euros. Factors contributing to the high costs included the scale of the show and additional security measures required due to adverse weather conditions. Reports suggest that Vissi received no personal fee for the performance, as agreed upon at the start of the project. The organizers reportedly chose to keep ticket prices at accessible levels compared to international productions.
While the concert was a cultural success in terms of public reception, the financial outcome highlights the complexities of hosting large-scale musical productions in Greece under specific economic strategies.
