So it's true!

BLIND GUARDIAN will be headlining the first day of the Chania RockFestival, on Friday July 26th !!
Their popularity has reached a historic high in Greece, so having them back on our stage will be an exciting moment for the summer of 2024.

The German bards are well known to the fans, as they have performed in CRF in July 2017 in an unforgettable evening! Hansi Kursch, visited Chania Rock Festival once again in 2019, with DEMONS & WIZARDS. The upcoming performance of BLIND GUARDIAN at the Chania Rock Festival is perhaps the “worst kept secret”, since the band itself made the revelation from the stage during their last performance in Athens!!!

Until July 26, we all have the necessary time to do our vocal exercises, so that we can all sing together the lyrics of "The bard's song", as it always happens during BLIND GUARDIAN’s concerts!

“Tomorrow will take us away far from home

No one will ever know our names

But the bards' songs will remain”

EXODUS is the next band we have the pleasure to announce for the Chania Rock Festival, where they will start their European tour, on July 26th, playing before the headliners BLIND GUARDIAN!!

If there is a band that deserves to be wedged into the Big 4 of thrash metal, among METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX, they are definitely EXODUS from the Bay Area!

The course of the Americans has been excellent, with several member changes but also hits like "Toxic waltz", perhaps the ultimate thrash metal anthem and records like "Fabulous disaster". Their disbandment in the 90s was temporary, but their return with "Tempo of the damned" in 2004 was so strong, that it was decisive for the rebirth of the entire musical genre that they serve pure and unadulterated all these years. Even when their leader and guitarist, Gary Holt, joined SLAYER as a full member in 2013, he made it clear that this would not have any impact on EXODUS, something he unfailingly adhered to.

A historical metal band, with a brilliant present and a new record that they will record this spring, the American thrashers, are ready to give a "Lesson in violence" at this year's Chania Rock Festival, 12 years after the last one in Greece their appearance.

More bands to be announced!
