Greek Cypriot music icon Anna Vissi is set to take over Athens’ Olympic Stadium this Saturday, September 26, for a major concert celebrating one of the longest and most influential careers in Greek popular music.

The highly anticipated show at OAKA will begin at 9pm, with doors opening earlier in the afternoon.

Vissi is expected to deliver an extensive audiovisual production featuring some of the biggest songs of her five-decade career, while surprise guest appearances have also been teased ahead of the concert.

For generations of Greek music fans, the night promises to be more than simply another concert. It will bring together decades of hits, memories and moments from one of the most recognisable voices in Greek music.

Anna Vissi: Five decades at the top

Vissi has remained a major force in Greek pop and laïko pop since emerging on the music scene decades ago.

Her career has spanned pop, rock, dance, and traditional Greek influences, while her long-standing creative partnership with composer and songwriter Nikos Karvelas has produced many of her most recognisable songs.

Her ability to reinvent herself while maintaining a devoted audience has helped Vissi remain a fixture of Greek popular culture across multiple generations.

The OAKA concert will bring together songs from throughout her career with modern staging and a large-scale audiovisual production.

A Eurovision history spanning Greece and Cyprus

Vissi also holds a unique place in Eurovision history.

She represented Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1980 and again in 2006, while representing Cyprus in 1982.

Her 1982 appearance remains an important moment in Cyprus’ Eurovision story, while her return to the competition in 2006 came after years of international success.

Vissi has also pursued opportunities beyond the Greek-speaking market.

During the late 1990s and early 2000s, she released English-language material and performed in the United States, including appearances in New York and Los Angeles.

Her 2005 single “Call Me” became a major international dance success, reaching No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Play chart.

She has also performed at prestigious international venues, including London’s Royal Albert Hall.

A major night for Greek music in Athens

The OAKA performance comes at another significant moment in Vissi’s career, with the singer continuing to attract audiences across generations.

Rather than simply looking back at her career, the September 26 production is expected to combine her established hits with contemporary staging, new collaborations and surprise appearances.

With thousands of fans expected at the Olympic Stadium, Anna Vissi is preparing to turn OAKA into one of the biggest Greek music events of the year.

After more than five decades in the spotlight, Vissi remains one of the most recognisable and enduring figures in Greek music.
