Ikarus Rock Festival (Avdou, Crete) TV Ad on Greek TV

Description:
TV Ad from 2008's IKARUS ROCK FESTIVAL ikarusrockfestival.com IKARUS ROCK FESTIVAL is Crete's Biggest Annual Rock Festival held in the festival grounds of the Traditional Cretan village of Avdou. Starting at 4pm, over fifteen bands and acts from the USA, UK, Greece, and from around the globe will be performing, with Acoustic acts and DJ sets in between stage changeovers. At 4pm there is a Pro Skate Demo with the Element Skaters on the mini-ramp. The festival attracts and brings together thousands of local Greeks and vacationing European youths, who annually travel to Crete during the hot summer months to party and experience a new kind of freedom not usually found at home. The festival's intention, along with exposing Upcoming Bands from around the World, is to melt Modern Rock Music and the festival audiences with Traditonal Cretan hospitality and culture; creating an experience unique unto itself. The festival's organizing committee along with the Cultural Affairs council of Avdou, are working diligently to make IKARUS ROCK FESTIVAL in Crete the biggest and most vital rock festival next to Athen's massive music festival RockWave. The Cretan festival brings together the youth of Europe together in one place, at one time, in a setting that is totally Cretan and purely magical. In the mountains of Avdou, where legend has it that Minoan Palace architect Daedalos and his son Ikarus took flight from the cave above the village, tourists will not just see the glitz and disco-hip hop clubbing scene in the heavily populated beaches of Chersonissos and Malia, but will actually take a drive through the mountainside and experience another side and perspective of Crete and its world famous culture while on their short-visited vacation. The festival site Avdou, is centrally located and easily accessible from many city and touristic hubs like Heraklion, Hersonissos, Malia, and Aghios Nikoloas. The festival site is surrounded by mountains and rolling hills full of olive groves, and a Byzantine Church on the grounds adds to its natural charm. IKARUS ROCK FESTIVAL is part of the summer concert series of Avdou, which is nationally recognized, always bringing the local Cretan positive vibe to its neighboring citizens. IKARUS ROCK FESTIVAL was created by the founders of THE IKARUS, an Artist Commune nestled quietly within the village borders. Artists from all over the world have been living and creating Art in Avdou for many years, from painters to world famous musicians. THE IKARUS also has an Art Gallery, Recording Studio, and Holistic Healing Center in the village center that is open to the public during the summer months. IKARUS ROCK FESTIVAL is promoted by THE IKARUS (www.TheIkarus.com) and MySpace.com/GreekRockBands, the Number One website promoting Greek Rock Bands via the net.
