Program details

The rock on which western civilisation was built is now home to the one and only Hard Rock Cafe Athens, located little over 500 metres from the Acropolis. Come along and enjoy a legendary burger or twister mad while admiring a magnificent memorabilia collection that features items that belonged to Elton John and other great stars such as Madonna and Prince. See guitars, cymbals, outfits, wigs, hats, discs, handwritten George Michael lyrics and even motorbikes associated with musical greats.

Like all great revolutions, the Hard Rock Cafe wasn’t meant to succeed. It was 1971 and as the Swinging Sixties had given way to the Super Seventies, fashions and tastes were changing. Two hungry young Americans were in London and couldn’t find a decent place to eat a decent burger… so they opened up a joint in the English capital. Their landlord didn’t think it would last and gave them just a six-month lease. Four decades later, there almost 200 Hard Rock Cafes in more than 50 countries worldwide.

The first T-shirt hit the streets in ‘74 and the first piece of memorabilia came, fittingly, by chance in ‘79 when Eric Clapton asked to hang his Lead II Fender guitar over his favourite bar stool and thus mark as his spot. Today, the rock 'n' roll collection has more than 74,000 pieces and is the largest of its kind. By 1982, the Hard Rock Cafe had gone global and the rest, as they say, is history (that’s still being written)!
