Solid Rock grew 1 year old and, to celebrate that, it caught up with  its rock & heavy metal music friends in an evening dedicated to all of you! On Saturday May 30, Hard Rock Cafe Athens was crowded with people who came to party with us, listen to hard rock/heavy metal music and to meet one of the most popular figures of the heavy metal scene, the one and only Udo Dirkschneider! Our special guest signed autographs and took pictures with his fans, while we listened for the very first time -exclusively in Greece-  U.D.O.'s new track "Infected" from the title EP that is due to be released on June 26. The track "Infected" will also be included in the band's new album "Dominator" which will be released on August 21 through AFM Records.

An evening full of hard rock/heavy metal music, enthusiasm, headbagning and tons of gifts for everybody, including  free tickets  for concerts such as: Rocking Athens Festival (offer of “Rocking Athens Festival”), Rockwave Festival (offer of Solid Rock), 2nd Scorpions Festival (offer of Solid Rock) plus a double ticket for any concert of the promoter "Anosi" of the winner's preferance held up to summer of 2010 (offer of "Anosi").

Thank you everybody for being there, it was our honour! Also, we would like to thank Solidrock.gr's partners and friends who believed and helped, each in a special way, to make this happen:

Soundforge Music Group, AFM records, www.metal-temple.com, Metal Heaven Records, Rocking Athens Festival and The Strip.

Last but not least, we would like to thank Udo Dirkschneider for accepting Solidrock.gr's invitation, we were honoured and blessed to have him with us on our very first anniversary! 

Hopefully you all had such a great time like we had.

Until the next time…

Stay Hard, Stay Heavy, Stay Solid!
