[01] Dropkick Murphys and The Last Shadow Puppets to headline 2016 Rockwave FestivalThe first day of the 2016 annual Rockwave Festival is kicking off at the Terravibe venue in Malakasa on Sunday afternoon, with an all-star line-up of bands from Greece and abroad playing on two stages. The Last Shadow Puppets will be making their first ever appearance in Greece to headline on the Terravibe stage, while celtic punk masters Dropkick Murphys will be headline band on the Vibe stage this year. The second day of the festival featuring Lana Del Ray is more than a month away, however, on July 19.TLSP is a group formed by Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane (The Rascals & solo project), who met up in 2005 during an Arctic Monkeys tour in the UK. They were joined by James Ford (Simian Mobile Disco, Simian) and Zach Dawes (Mini Mansions) to release their debut album, "The Age of Understatement," in 2008. Eight years later, TLSP have returned with the release of their second album "Everything You've come to expect" that includes the singles "Bad Habits" and "Aviation" and are now on tour to promote the new album, making a first stop in Athens at the now 21-year-old Rockwave Festival. The Dropkick Murphys have been with us since the mid-1990s, ever since they released their legendary album "Do or Die, and will head a high-octane line-up that also includes the Norwegians Turbonegro (also in Greece for the first time), the Greek punk band Despite Everything and Athens-based punk rock band Wish Upon A Star opening. Appearing on the Terravibe stage before TLSP are Suede, who are returning to Greece to promote their new album "Night Thoughts" and the UK bank The Subways, as well as Greek bands The Callas and Whereswilder opening the set. The second day of the festival on July 19 will feature Lana Del Ray headlining, with the band Allah Las opening. The festival is scheduled to open with Wish Upon A Star at 15:30 and end with "The Last Shadow Puppets" about half an hour after midnight.
