Soundwave adds 15 bands to 2015 lineup
They've kept us waiting, making sure they dotted their i's and crossed their t's. But it's here... Soundwave dropped their second announcement today and it's looking very nice! There's been debate over AJ Maddah's "supergroup" for a while now. Killer Be Killed, featuring Soulfly/Sepultura vocalist Max Cavelera, Dillinger Escape Plan vocalist Greg Puciato, Mastodon bassist and co-vocalist Troy Sanders and ex-Mars Volta drummer Dave Elitch, seems to fit the tag nicely.
So, the next 15 bands for 2015 are:

This is not the final announcement! According to Soundwave, "There will be a third artist announcement and timetables before Christmas". As for sideshows, AJ says there are "not as many as before, but there will be some" and he is "working on them now" and expects a few to be announced "next month, the rest in January". Bands playing in Melbourne on Day One are unlikely to play Melbourne sideshows, as they're expected to fly from Adelaide straight to Sydney.
It has also been revealed that tickets purchased online will be posted during the first week of December. Christmas present anyone?
