Speculation is mounting across Greece about the much-anticipated return of beloved singer Notis Sfakianakis to the Athenian nightlife scene after a five-year absence.
The popular artist, known for his powerful voice and emotive performances, has been at the centre of intense rumours in recent days, with reports suggesting a grand comeback is on the horizon.
On Tuesday morning, Mega TV sparked excitement when presenter Dimitris Ougarezos announced that Sfakianakis is set to mark his return with two major concerts at the iconic Kallimarmaro Stadium in Athens. Following these headline events, the singer is reportedly planning to resume regular performances at a nightclub in the capital, reigniting the vibrancy of the city’s music scene.
However, not everyone is convinced the rumors are true. Earlier today, fellow singer Peggy Zina cast doubt on the speculation during an interview on the Happy Day show. Speaking to the camera, Zina shared that her own sources do not confirm Sfakianakis’ return, suggesting that the artist has no strong desire to step back into the spotlight. “From what I’ve heard, it’s unlikely he’ll return—it’s not something he really wants,” she said. “He’s been consciously stepping back and keeping his distance for the past three years.”
Despite her skepticism, Zina expressed a deep personal fondness for Sfakianakis, admitting that his absence has left a void in Athens’ nightlife. “We’d all love for this rumour to be true because he and his songs are sorely missed,” she added. “I perform his songs in my own shows—Notis has been missed from nocturnal Athens.”
For fans worldwide, Sfakianakis’ potential return promises a revival of his unforgettable hits, which have long defined Greek music culture. Whether the Kallimarmaro concerts will materialize remains uncertain, but the mere possibility has already stirred excitement among his international Greek audience, eager to see the legendary artist reclaim his place on stage.
