The wildly successful Rockwave Festival returns to Greece. Rockwave is the biggest musical festival in Greece, and one of the largest in Europe.

Rockwave's energetic presentation attracts masses of young Greeks and visitors who descend on the festival in search of a great time, and they succeed in finding it.

Rockwave Metal Day - July 9th, 2008

Once again, The Rockwave Festival is expected to be at Terra Vibe, an event area with a capacity of 15,000 located near the 37th kilometer of the Athens-Lamia national road by the Malakasa interchange.

Announced headliners include Judas Priest, Calavera Conspiracy, and Within Temptation.

Previously, the Rockwave festival started at 3:30pm each day and ran for two days.. General Admission tickets for Rockwave in 2006 were Euro 41.50 per day or Euro 74.50 for both days of the festival. 2008 will probably be close to this range. As of this writing, there is no information on the "Rock" day available.
