The summer season has officially started and with it the work season for Albanian artists. After 2 years that the artists almost stayed rest from the pandemic, this summer is totally booked for them. But it seems that the rise in prices has also affected artists.

After the difficulties due to the pandemic, even some of the most famous artists of the scene have increased their fee they receive at the concert. Yet the most famous names have a busy agenda this summer, having booked almost every day. There are even those who have up to 3 concerts in one day.

Të shpeshta kanë qenë lëvizjet në listën e këngëtarëve më të paguar, ku shifrat rekord arrijnë deri në 8 mijë euro. Madje, menaxherët e artistëve kosovar në shifrat e publikuara shprehen se kanë tarifa deri në 10,000 euro apo 12,000 euro, natyrisht për një këngëtar/e të caktuar.

Although the figures have rarely been made public in official form, this continues to be best evidenced by the luxurious lives they lead, including their clips and vacations that are now mostly exposed through social media. Singers like Tayna, Ledri Vula Ghetto Geasy, Dafina Zeqiri, Nora Istrefi, Mozzik, Meda and many others, are among the names that are most liked by the public who are said to be paid quite well. In this regard, in November, the former manager Drin Zatriqi, asked the new Government to regulate the pop tax, by publishing the prices for some artists who benefit from the concerts.

Awards for some artists for a concert:

Price 8,000 - 12,000 euros

Ledri Vula 8,000- 10,000 euros

Capital T 6,000 - 8,000 euros

Ghetto Geasy 6,000 - 8,000 euros

Dhurata Dora 6,000-7,000 euros

Noizy 6,000 - 8,000 euros

Dafina Zeqiri 4,000 - 6,000 euros

Meda: 6,000 - 7,000 euros

Labinot Tahiri - 5,000 euros

But in reality, the figures are often even more bloated. In the Albanian show business, the record for this summer is held by the Veshaj brothers. After leaving Big Brother, Donald and Romeo have started their careers in music as well, receiving the support of the entire audience. So they, together with Elgit Doda have a completely booked wine, where they will be paid up to 8 thousand euros for a concert.
