Terra Vibe Park, Open-air concert venue in Malakasa, Greece
Terra Vibe Park is an open-air complex north of Athens with an arena that accommodates audiences and specializes in music events. The facility includes multiple areas and was designed to host large international concerts.
Terra Vibe opened in 2004 on 40 acres in Malakasa, Attica, as an outdoor concert ground. In 2009 heavy rain made the site unsafe and Mötley Crüe's Crüe Fest appearance was cancelled, though Slipknot headlined the final day. The 2010 Sonisphere edition brought Metallica together with Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax.
Terra Vibe hosts the Rockwave Festival, whose 2013 edition featured Depeche Mode, Lana Del Rey and Echo & the Bunnymen. The park also gave its name to the Terra Vibe Festival. Concerts draw rock and metal audiences from across Attica to this site near Malakasa.
The park lies at Malakasa in Attica, north of Athens on the road toward Lamia, and events there are outdoor, so weather matters: in 2009 heavy rain in the Malakasa area made the venue unsafe and a Rockwave date was cancelled. Bring rain protection and sturdy shoes, since the grounds are open terrain rather than a covered hall.
The park was the site of a special moment for heavy metal fans in 2010 when a rare gathering of legendary thrash metal bands performed on the same stage. This event remained notable in the venue's history and the global metal scene.
