Rockwave Festival - Rockwave in Greece

The wildly successful Rockwave Festival returns to Greece. Rockwave is the biggest musical festival in Greece, and one of the largest in Europe. In 2012, the big headliner is Ozzy Osbourne, but there are other great bands as well, though fewer than in other years.

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.

In 2012, the RW festival dates are June 30th and July 1st, only two days. It used to be divided up into "theme" days but I haven't seen any info on that this year.

Saturday, June 30th 1st:
The Prodigy
Iggy And The Stooges
Everlast
Peter Hook And The Light

Sunday, July 1st

Ozzy Osbourne & Friends
Machine Head
Paradise Lost
Unisonic
Planet Of Zeus
Lucky Funeral

Once again, The Rockwave Festival is 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.

General Admission tickets for Rockwave in 2011 start around 49.50 Euro per day.
