Soundwave 2011
Soundwave 2011 – After months of intense speculation, rumours, predictions and betting it seems that the Soundwave Festival 2011 line-up may have leaked. And if this the real deal then we have one hell of a festival in store come February.
The festival began announcing bands for next year’s line-up back on Wednesday 16th June with the confirmation of Welsh post-hardcore group The Blackout
Since then the festival has officially announced the names of another twenty three of the acts – including the confirmation last night of The Gaslight Anthem, who had previously told FasterLouder they would be here early next year.
As hotly rumoured earlier this week on FL, according to the leak heading up Soundwave in its sixth year are heavy metal legends Iron Maiden who last toured Australia in 2008, following a fifteen year absence from our shores.
Stoner-rock Gods Queens Of The Stoneage are also listed as one of the headliners on the leak. And here’s hoping this one is true because if we are lucky they will be here armed with a bunch of new tracks from their forthcoming album.
The rest of the leak mentions: Slayer, Primus, Social Distortion, Rob Zombie, Avenged Sevenfold, Stone Sour, Gang of Four, Pennywise, Sum 41, Third Eye Blind, Monster Magnet and many more acts to the bill.
Though the leak has not been officially confirmed by the festival’s organisers it brings the line-up to fifty-three bands.
