Greek music star Antonis Remos is preparing what promises to be one of the biggest concerts of his career, with new details emerging about the spectacular event planned for Thessaloniki.
The concert will mark 30 years of Antonis Remos’ recording career and is expected to transform the city’s waterfront into a huge open air celebration.
Details of the ambitious production were revealed on Wednesday, September 2, during the television program Koinonia Ora Mega, with journalists in Thessaloniki offering a glimpse into what audiences can expect.
A stage designed to dominate Thessaloniki’s waterfront
The scale of the production is already attracting attention.
According to the details revealed during the broadcast, the main stage will stand approximately three metres high and will be positioned so that it effectively embraces the iconic statue of Alexander the Great.
Organisers are describing the setup as something rarely, if ever, seen at a concert by a Greek artist.
Construction and technical preparations are already underway, with crews working from early in the morning to ensure the venue is ready for rehearsals scheduled to begin around September 8.
But the stage itself is only part of the spectacle.
Giant screens will bring the concert across the city
The production team is planning an enormous visual setup designed to allow people across the waterfront to follow the concert.
Approximately 1,000 square metres of high definition screens will be installed, accompanied by a powerful sound system designed to carry the music across the surrounding area.
One giant video wall will be positioned opposite the statue of Alexander the Great, while another will face towards the Thessaloniki International Fair.
Additional screens will be placed on both sides of the main stage so that crowds gathered along the New Waterfront of Thessaloniki can also watch the performance.
The ambition is clear: organisers want the concert to be visible and audible from a large section of Thessaloniki’s waterfront, potentially stretching from the White Tower to the Makedonia Palace.
Giorgos Nanouris takes the director’s chair
Perhaps the biggest surprise revealed ahead of the concert is the identity of its director.
The musical spectacular will be directed by acclaimed Greek theatre director Giorgos Nanouris, bringing significant theatrical experience to a production that is already being billed as anything but ordinary.
His involvement suggests that Remos’ anniversary concert will go beyond a conventional live music performance, incorporating theatrical elements, large scale visuals and carefully designed staging.
With preparations already underway, expectations are building for a landmark night on the Thessaloniki waterfront as Antonis Remos celebrates three decades in Greek music.
