Well that information was quickly removed! 😂 I guess someone from the Sisters camp didn't consider it confirmed yet...or there won't be any Death Disco-festival at all. We just have to wait and se then.

Is four bands over two days likely to stick? Seems like a lot of filler and limited thriller to me?

Is there any way to find out an approximate time when the Sisters will go on stage here? Haven't found a detailed program, 2 AM is given as end on that facebook page but I don't know if this refers to bands playing or just when the party's over.

Thanks iesus!
Not midnight, you mean sooner? Or later? ;D I mean I'm assuming all bands play shorter sets since I guess even the Sisters who are headlining will play shorter than club gigs.
I'm reorganising my holiday schedule here, just need to see which flight back home on Monday..

Very good here is the location is extremely central and even on the airport metro line.

Seems like this gig will be occuring in the heat of the night.

Oh look, my coat!
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.

Any of us around Athens? :D
I have some time this weekend (will go also to Saturday 's concert) and will happily meet any of us that came to Athens for this.
Due to my close location to Plaka and Acropolis, we can arrange a beer or coffee around the centre. :lol:
