Didi Shows Top Fan Poll

The country’s top half-dozen shows of 2007 were all promoted by Didi Music-Big Star Entertainment, according to the readers of Rocking.gr online magazine.

The fans voted the July Rockwave Festival as the best gig, which had Metallica supported by Mastodon, My Dying Bride and Dirt Spawn Disease. It was one of the four shows at Athens’ Terra Vibe Park to make the Top Six and the first time in eight years the metal merchants had played Greece.

The other part of Rockwave, which is split across two weekends, came in third with a lineup that included Heaven And Hell, Dream Theatre, Iced Earth and Anathema.

In second, squeezed between the two halves of the festival, was Iron Maiden’s gig at Athens’ Hellinikon Basketball Arena. The Helloween / Gamma Ray double bill at the city’s Hellinikos Kosmos was fourth, with the Muse and Tool shows at Terra Vibe in fifth and sixth.

The readers of Avopolis, another popular music portal, said Muse’s Terra Vibe show was the best gig, pushing Metallica’s Rockwave performance into second place. The Tool show at Terra Vibe Park came fourth.
