Lighting up Chios: Ioulia Kallimani takes the stage

01/09/2026

On August 12, 2026, the Municipal Stadium of Chios became the setting for an evening of live music with Ioulia Kallimani. Performing some of her biggest hits and well-known Greek songs, she played to a large crowd as part of the island’s summer cultural programme.

For a concert of this scale, the lighting needed to do more than illuminate the stage. It had to keep up with the music, work across a large outdoor setup and give the performance a strong visual presence.

Diamond Productions, led by beamZ Pro partner Sarantos Kostidis, built the lighting setup around a range of beamZ Pro fixtures. The rig combined 32 NEREID 380B and 24 MHL1240 moving heads with 12 LCB400IP and 12 Nuke 1 fixtures. Four SB420IP units completed the setup.

The lighting design added movement and colour to the stage while keeping pace with the performance. With a combination of moving heads and LED fixtures, the setup gave the production team plenty of options to shape the look of the show throughout the evening.

A full stadium, a live band and a lighting rig built for the occasion made Chios the perfect setting for a night in the spotlight.
