"After the tremendous rock festival of 2007 the greatest musicians of Hungarian rock will hit the chords again on 7th and 8th March 2008. Amongst the performing bands we can meet new performers as well as people from the first series.The two-day festival titled „The Living legends of Hungarian Rock” was organized in February 2007, ant it became a massive hit with music lovers. The bands who took part gave a performance of over 30 songs to entertain the audience.
The introduction of the Sportarena as a host venue was ideal too; for 25 years there hasn’t been such an event: an occasion where so many representatives of the rock music world appear together on the same stage. The excellent sound quality and the brilliant stage setting enhanced the atmosphere to the highest level. Over 12 thousand people were interested enough to attend he monumental concert. The audience consisted of old fans and new generations, they joined together enthusiastically to enjoy the concert, singing the greatest hits of the 70’s and 80’s as one.
„If something works, why shouldn’t we do it every year?” – said “Zero” Zoltan Kiss, one of the fathers of the concert, the bass guitar player of the band Karthago when the preparations of the first Rock-Arena were in full swing. Due to the enormous success, the Papp László Budapest Sportaréna will rock again on 7 and 8 March 2008 (the concerts on both days will start at 17:00).
Among the performing bands we can meet new performers as well as people from the first series. In the midst of the legends of the Hungarian Rock new generations such as the Zorall and Zanzibar will also appear. On the opening day of the festival there will also be a surprise international guest performer to make the event even more fantastic.
