Although it wasn't expected until December, the organizers of Australia's Soundwave Festival have made their second band announcement. Joining the 60 bands already announced are Staind, Wednesday 13, Unearth, Cathedral, Shadows Fall, Heaven Shall Burn, Your Demise, Kittie, and 14 other (mostly non-metal) bands.
Hole has pulled out of the festival after frontwoman Courtney Love refused to play before Limp Bizkit. Soundwave boss AJ Maddah said on Twitter that he was "relieved we got the moody old cow off the bill. [There’s] no point talking her back, only for her to cancel later, or turn up & act like a rotten twat to other artists, fans, etc."
A third announcement in early December will add another five bands to the lineup, and Danzig is one of the confirmed possibilities.
Soundwave tickets go on sale on Thursday, 20th October at 9am local time for the following dates:
25th February 2012 - Brisbane
26th February 2012 - Sydney

its about time us down under had decent festival lineups. After many years of being snubbed by many big bands around the world, the good aussie dollar is bringing many big names to perform. A festival with a lineup like this was unheard of til soundwave started - and it just keeps getting bigger! The main headlining spot is not as big as previous years with SOAD, compared to Iron Maiden, Faith No More, Alice in CHains but still a kickass lineup!
