Two bright stars at the peak of their international success are coming to Greece for the first time to appear on the Terra Stage on the second day of the Rockwave festival!
The Killers Are we Human or are we Dancers? That is the question posed by the eccentric youths from Las Vegas who seem to have an answer. Brandon Flowers and his group descend on the Terra Stage as true headliners with their complex lyrics, outlandish appearance and above all, their tremendous attitude!
Duffy The surprise of the year, this young Welsh woman with the deep soulful voice will take us through the streets of Rockferry, the most successful album of the year by this year's most successful British singer. Rockwave welcomes Duffy!

Rockwave Festival 2009's third day is the ultimate hard rock-metal festival experience. Terra Stage is transformed into CrueFest Stage to welcome the pirates of hard rock, Motley Crue. Earlier, Monster Magnet will take us far away on an ecstatic and cerebral Powertrip. No performance would be complete without the female side of hard rock. The "Diva Satanica," Angela Gossow, with her manic voice and the death-metal dynamic of Arch Enemy, appears along with Lauren Harris, any father's idea of an ideal daughter and hard rock idol.
Meanwhile back on the Vibe Stage: Blackie Lawless' W.A.S.P. come to the Vibe Stage as he carries on the classic W.A.S.P. tradition to headline this ulti-metal date with well-known hits and a strictly R-rated attitude. Slightly earlier, the legendary Voivod will be releasing their own musical Armageddon. Terra Stage and Vibe Stage will be in use back to back while bands alternately take the stage. The result: not a minute without music! Also on offer: camping, kiosks, games, t-shirts, souvenirs, theme events and festival services as only Rockwave knows how to provide, and above all, the Rockwave Festival Vibe.
Tuesday 30 June TERRA STAGE Slipknot 22:00-23:30 Mastodon 20:30-21:30 Down 19:10-20:10 Kylesa 17:55-18:50 Torche 17:00-17:40
VIBE STAGE Saxon 20:00-21:00 Lita Ford 18:30-19:30 Eden Demise 16:00-16:45 God Fear None 13:15-14:00
How could the Rockwave Festival refuse to give the stage over to the great Slipknot and massive favourites Mastodon.
The nine members of Slipknot are the true on-stage embodiment of theatrical elaborated lyrics (contemporary industrial poems) and a unique melding of metal and rap, industrial and gothic. The masked nu-metal Slipknot headline the Terra Stage on the fourth day of the Rockwave Festival.
They will be preceded by the hysterically cerebral Mastodon, American New Wave metal pioneers and huge favourites among Greek fans. They will be taking us on their own astral journey with their new album Crack the Skye, destination: Rockwave 2009's star. Doors open at 11 am daily.
