About Rock Hard Festival
The Rock Hard Festival has been an established event since its launch in 2003 at the Amphitheater in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, and continues uninterrupted to this day. Now, the time has come to expand to Greece. To celebrate its 10th anniversary, Rock Hard Greece invited Blind Guardian for a secret acoustic show with free entry for 20 lucky readers. Now, for its 20th anniversary, it’s raising the stakes with something no other music media outlet has dared to do in Greece: hosting a two-day festival at the Technopolis City of Athens on September 12-13, 2025, featuring numerous international acts and creating a massive cultural event—the Rock Hard Festival Greece.
