The festival team is already working on the programme for the small stage.
The Silent Wedding
The Silent Wedding is a heavy metal band, formed in 2008 by releasing their first self-titled EP, with the reviewers describing The Silent Wedding as a “Heavy Metal band with Prog & Power influences”. Their first full length album “Livin Experiments” was released in 2013, mastered by Michael “Miro” Rodenberg (Kamelot, Edguy, Rhapsody etc.) at Gate Studios (De). For the album’s artwork, the band worked with Travis Smith (Nevermore, Iced Earth, Opeth etc). Meanwhile, the band keeps promoting its work through live shows around Greece & Europe in metal festivals, sharing the stage with bands like Saxon, Fates Warning, Firewind, Tygers of Pan Tang, Maiden United, Caravan, Lizzy Borden and many more. The Silent Wedding supported Maiden United in two mini-tours in the Netherlands & Belgium, joined Voodoo Six in their European mini-tour in 2014 and supported Threshold in their “European Journey” Tour for 19 shows around Europe. In March 2017 the band released “Enigma Eternal”, an album that received remarkable feedback, from fans and press, featuring guest vocals by Tom S. Englund, vocalist of the mighty Evergrey. The artwork was once again a creation of Travis Smith inspired by the album’s ominous concept. “The vibe of Kamelot and the artistic approach of Evergrey combined with a reminiscence of Savatage! Impressive album!” (Metal Hammer – 9/10) Many successful shows followed, with the band sharing the stage with Iced Earth, Epica, Annihilator, Warrel Dane (Nevermore), touring over Europe once more with the UK progsters Threshold. The band entered the studio in 2020 and started working on new material and completed the recordings of their new album in 2021. “Ego Path” was released one year later receiving the best reviews worldwide and took the band to a whole new level. While touring in order to promote their new album the band participated in Greek festivals sharing the stage with Within Temptation, Therion, Threshold and more.

Soundtruck was also formed in 2008. They play Southern hard rock.
The band is one of the most well-known southern rock bands in Greece at the moment. The band quickly became well known because of the sound and the energy coming out on the stage. Soundtruck have released two albums so far.
