Chania Rock Festival

Founded in 2002, the Chania Rock Festival has spent more than two decades bringing together metal and rock acts, from heavy and thrash to gothic and symphonic, with international headliners such as Paradise Lost and Rotting Christ. It takes place in the old town of Chania, Crete, near the old Venetian harbour, at the Theatre of the Eastern Moat (Anatolikis Tafrou) since 2022.
