●Chania Rock Festival continues to surpass itself by bringing big names from the hard rock and heavy metal music scenes, artists who have never performed on the island of Crete before!

The first announcement for this year's edition is a band that was adored like very few others in Greece during the 90s:
The Finnish STRATOVARIUS!!

With their consistent and high-quality discography, STRATOVARIUS have created a new generation of fans!Albums like "Fourth Dimension," "Episode," and "Visions" are considered among the best in power metal, earning the band a strong fanbase in Greece with sold-out shows every time they performed, and propelling them to the elite of the genre alongside groups like HELLOWEEN, GAMMA RAY, BLIND GUARDIAN, and ANGRA.

Since STRATOVARIUS' concerts in Greece have made history (and were even captured live on "Live! Visions of Europe"), and after seeing the audience's reactions at their most recent show in our country, we can’t wait to sing together timeless anthems like "Black Diamond," "Kiss of Judas," "Against the Wind," "Hunting High and Low," and many more!

●Chania Rock Festival proudly welcomes the legends of the Greek and global metal scene, ROTTING CHRIST!
Following their mesmerizing performance at the sold-outLycabettus Theater in front of 5,000 passionate fans, the band returns to Chania after six years for an exclusive show in Crete that promises to make history!
With over 2,000 live performances worldwide—from South America to the Middle East and the biggest festivals in Europe—ROTTING CHRIST have established themselves as ambassadors of the Greek metal scene.
The legendary tracks from their early career, featured in albums such as "Thy Mighty Contract", "Non Serviam", and "Triarchy of the Lost Lovers", will meet their more recent masterpieces like “Theogonia”, ΚατάτονΔαίμοναΕαυτού, “Aealo”, and “Pro Xristou” in a setlist that will captivate every fan!

●Geoff Tate's connection with Crete and Chania was love at first sight! The festival, the venue, the audience, the city, and the island made an incredible impression on the man who invented the term “thinking man’s metal.” His return to Chania Rock Festival was a strong and mutual desire!
Who wouldn’t want to sing along with Geoff Tate to songs that have shaped generations of fans in the realm of high-quality heavy metal, such as "Empire," "Walk in the Shadows," "Silent Lucidity," "I Don’t Believe in Love," "Eyes of a Stranger," "Queen of the Reich," and so many others, with the list being endless...
We could see Geoff Tate performing every year, as his repertoire is inexhaustible! Each performance is unique, and so will this one be. Let no one even consider missing the appearance of a living legend—a true icon of music. Because that’s what GEOFF TATE is, and it is our honor to host him at the Chania Rock Festival 2025!

●With great excitement and pride, Chania Rock Festival presents ELYSION, one of the top Greek bands that have made their mark in the world of gothic/symphonic metal!
The Athenian metallers will take the stage at the Chania Rock Festival to enchant us with their unique energy and passion, presenting tracks from their latest album, "Bring Out Your Dead", as well as from their first two albums.
Having delivered triumphant performances alongside legendary names such as Nightwish, Evanescence, Helloween, Saxon, Lacuna Coil, and Anneke Van Giersbergen, ELYSION promise a show you simply can’t miss.
Fun Fact: ELYSION is the #1 Greek metal band on Spotify, with millions of streams!
