Soundwave celebrates 10 year anniversary with massive lineup
Soundwave 2012 was epic. Many wondered whether the festival could ever top a lineup that featured System of a Down, Slipknot, Machine Head, Marilyn Manson, Limp Bizkit, Sisters of Mercy and many, many more. Well, guess what? They have! There have been many rumours, some based on fact, some on speculation, with festival promoter and Twitter aficionado AJ Maddah offering many tips and leaks himself.
Well, enough of the speculation. We can now reveal the first official lineup. Heading to Australia for the 10th anniversaty edition are:
Metallica, Linkin Park, Blink-182, A Perfect Circle, The Offspring, Paramore, Garbage, Tomahawk, Stone Sour, Kyuss Lives, Anthrax, Sum 41, Dragonforce, All Time Low, Flogging Molly, Ghost, Duff McKagan’s Loaded, Motion City Soundtrack, Lawrence Arms, Kingdom Of Sorrow, Fozzy, Sleeping With Sirens, Cancer Bats, Madball, Vision of Disorder, Pierce the Veil, Periphery, Shai Halud, Of Mice & Men, Miss May I, Danko Jones, Woe Is Me, The Wonder Years, While She Sleeps, Such Gold, Lucero, Six Feet Under, Deaf Havana, Red Fang, Chunk! No Captain Chunk!, Memphis May Fire!
A read through AJ’s twitter feed reveals a number of items of note. There will be a second announcement, some time after tickets go on sale, which AJ says “is a damn good festival by itself IMHO". There will be no sideshows for Adelaide or Perth and no sideshows at all from Metallica, A Perfect Circle and Paramore. Blink 182 will be doing a solo show, most likely in Sydney.
As for that second announcement, so far, Gallows and Puscifer have let it slip that they’ll be joining the party in 2013.
Tickets will cost $187 and this time around there are no additional postage or booking fees, although punters in Sydney and Perth will pay an extra $2 to cover the cost of public transport.
Soundwave members will get access to a pre-sale ticket allocation, with cities staggered:
Sydney - Wed 15th August 9am local time
Adelaide/Perth - Thu 16th August 9am local time
Brisbane/Melbourne: Fri 17th August 17 9am local time
General public tickets go on sale on Thursday 23rd August
