The economic crisis has had a negative impact on live music venues in Greece as fewer people go out for entertainment, a National Center for Social Studies (EKKE) survey showed.
According to EKKE, attendance in live cultural events and activities of any kind has dropped significantly and entertainment habits have changed. According to Greek newspaper Kathimerini, live music in big clubs (bouzoukia) has dropped by 45.7% between 2008-09 and 2011-12. Live stages with rebetiko songs showed a decrease of 51.5% for the same period, small live stages by 20.8%, jazz and ethnic music clubs by 21.5%, rock/dance music venues by 9.2%, while classical music and opera halls dropped by 12.4%.
