[edit] 2008 lineup

Monday 31st March was the day when Didi Music-Big Star Promotion Ltd (music concert organizer), announced the names of the artists that would perform at Rockwave Festival 2008. Along with the names they introduced the changes in the festival's whole structure. The festival is now divided in two stages, "Terra" stage & "Vibe" stage (that comes by the name of the concert park "TerraVibe"). Τhey also abolished the division of the "Terra" concert area into gates PL1 and PL2, lowered the high price of the tickets and retained the special area that's on the side of the field, where there is more comfort, as there are places to sit.
