Northlane is next artist on 2016 Soundwave tour
The next artist for the 2016 Soundwave festival has been announced! Sydney's Northlane will be joining the travelling festival as it runs down Australia's east coast. Northlane are joining Sweden's Refused, the reformed Failure, Australia's Dead Letter Circus and Welsh metal titans Bullet For My Valentine for the three date festival next January. This is the first of a few announcements this week, with AJ Maddah last week tweeting "There are 3 next week. Then 2 or 3 the week after then Early Birds go off sale followed by 1st announcement of 22 bands."
"Soundwave 2013 was one of the best times we've ever had," says Northlane guitarist Josh Smith. "We couldn't be more excited to play Soundwave again in 2016, it's going to be one hell of a time!"
The Sydney band released their highly anticipated third album Node in July which debuted at #1 on the ARIA Chart, and received critical acclaim from media around the world. Northlane have recently played sold out shows on the Canadian and North American leg of the Node World Tour and will continue their run of almost 100 headline dates in the UK, Europe, and Australia later this month. Northlane are among the nominees for the 2015 AIR Awards, with Node being nominated in the 'Best Independent Hard Rock, Heavy or Punk album' category.
Freedom is available now from JB HiFi or download from iTunes.
