Demand for entertainers for corporate events remained high in December, with companies increasingly interested in foreign stars but set tight budget limits. Representatives of the concert industry told Izvestia about this.
According to the publication, among the most famous foreign artists are Natalia Oreiro, the group “Arabesque”, “Genghis Khan”, as well as the American Akon and Jason Derulo.
At the same time, the fees of world stars start from $3 million, and logistical difficulties and flights on private planes through Istanbul further increase costs.
At the same time, first-class Russian artists receive from 6 to 25 million rubles for one performance.
Anna Subcheva, general director of the concert company SAY Agency, noted: “The budget is currently limited and we need to meet not only fees but also logistics. Famous artists request private planes… There are no direct flights to us, they fly via Istanbul – these are additional costs and time.”
At the end of November, Russian producer Tabriz Shahidi said that the group “Leningrad”, rapper Basta (Vasily Vakulenko), “Hands Up” and People's Artist of the Russian Federation Irina Allegrova became the leaders in the list of highest paid artists and were invited to the company's New Year's party in 2025.
