Nicosia, get ready for Planet of Zeus

The Greek heavy rock band Planet of Zeus normally show Savin Live in Larnaca what it really means to rock as if there is no tomorrow. And for a band that is could be considered anything but boring and normal, things have to be shaken up a notch. The shaking and the turning up of the volume dial will take place in Nicosia for their next performance on our island.

Downtown Live is where the four-member band will make our Saturday night something to remember. The boys in the band have been making music together since 2000 and they have four albums under their belt, plus five consecutive European tours.

Over their 18-years of rocking, Planet of Zeus haven’t let the rock scene rest, with non-stop touring around Greece, playing every venue possible, from small bars to massive stadiums.

Their raw, sincere and constantly evolving live performances have secured them a faithful hardcore following. A fan-base that were surely ecstatic when the band performed on stage with a number of international names, including Monster Magnet, Karma to Burn, Eyehategod, and Church of Misery.
