Rockwave Festival Cancelled!!!

Responsible for calling off the event are:

The Mayor of Hellenikon that without reason refuses to give permission for the festival.

The Police Department of Hellenikon and its supervising authority, the General Administrative Police Department of Athens that without justification invokes hypothetical and non-existent perils for the public safety, stating their unwillingness and weakness to provide any kind of protection.

The Ministry of Transportation and Communication and the Civil Air Transportation Services that withdraw from responsibilities deriving from mutually signed agreement between Big Star Promotion and the aforementioned.

The Political Leadership that boasts for its competence to protect the millions of visitors of the Olympic Games in 2004, being though incapable to do the same for the Festival audience.


Fuckin Idiots
 
fuckin assholes indeed.Ive been planning this the last 2 months to say the least.The guys from didi have really showed professionalism the last years, seems strange how it ended up this way.Id bought a ticket too..fuckin bummer..
 
It''s not really didi's fault, it's mostly the greek authorities' fault, they decided to decline the permission 1 week before the show, disrespecting EVERYONE involved. This is absolutely unacceptable and the greeks should normally be out in the streets protesting right now. This should not go unnoticed!!!

GO PROTEST, GREEKS! I wish I was there with you!
 
It IS Didi's fault... no it is Didi's stupid assholes actually... that was a nice announcement though.. the scapegoats were really easy to find (police and mayors and blah blah). Metalheads don't like the police anyway, right? So let them hear what they want to hear..
Concerts in Greece are quite expensive (and quite rare as well, good concerts that is), but still we've got a great metal audience, who save money just to watch these concerts. But Didi (although they are quite rich by now) hasn't built up a place for the damn festivals (which take place EVERY FUCKIN YEAR!). They're just "renting" courts and airports.. so, here's the result. Only 10 days before the festival! What did they wait for? Fuck them...
 
Theres a bit of truth in Minds I words, since i guess you first make sure you HAVE the place and then go for organising a festival...at least ill get to see Joe Satriani on the 2nd of july on my place,thats something too.
 
locust Satriani is playing in Thesaloniki on 2nd July.. he is playing in Athens on 3rd July at the Petras theater. You can get tickets from cd stores and if you will take a taxi it is located in the Petroupoli area.. I will be there too if there is no rockwave... look for a tall guy with a short goatee :-)~

A child of five could understand this. Someone fetch me a child of five. !
 
They were probably worried that gathering a bunch of Opeth and Dream Theater fans in the same place might result in a mass outbreak of AIDS.
 
powerslave, im only planning to attend the show at Thessaloniki, theres no reason to go at Athens now. If youll be there, ill be glad to meet you. Tickets for Rockwave are still to be recashed, maybe theres still hope.
