The kick-off tour in 2006 was accepted way beyond our expectations, with many people curious as to the format and mission of EuroRock. EuroRock is not only multi-national, but multi-genre rock’n’roll.<br /> EuroRock’s ultimate goal is the show the world that Peace is possible if we all work together towards a common goal no matter where we are from or what color our skin is or what religion we are. We are all people.<br /> We are all “Rockin’ The World For Peace”<br /> EuroRock will be filmed by award winning Documentary film and movie maker Dave Pederson who produced Super Size Me which gained an Oscar nomination and many film festival awards. Also, Vic Colicchio who produced the film Summer of Sam which was directed by Spike Lee, and High Times Pot Luck as well as other films to Vic’s credit. The EuroRock documentary will not only be filmed for a movie, but will broadcast on a popular network, most likely mtv which will be produced by Alexandra Townsend.<br /> <br /> There are 14 bands in all. 6 girl bands/solo artists, 6 boy bands/solo artists and two surprises, one being a local talent in each market. About 28 artists in all. All bands arrive in New York City from Europe on or before August 28th and finish the first East Coast leg September 18th .
