Soundwave Revolution

[natheel]

A few bands there I want to see not too bad

There r enough bands in the lineup that'll make me go

 

[Red Bear]

Not paying just to see Bad Religion so hopefully a sideshow, although doubt it

 

[LESStar58]

Apparently AJ said no sideshows. Ridiculous if not true!

 

[zombie jesus]

If anything has been learnt from the last week, it's that that AJ guy likes to stir shit up, I find it really hard to believe there will be no sideshows, unless he's paying the bands a ridiculous amount to not play sideshows. They'll pop up after tickets go on sale for the festival I reckon.

Want to see Machine Head...don't want to pay $150 to sit through a day of punk bands...sideshow plz

 

[Eelectrica]

Always wanted to see Van Halen.
Machine Head should be cool. Really should have got into them a while ago.
Alice Cooper should be great
And of course Devin Townsend will be the highlight.

this

disappointing line up really although I'm not into punk I at least though we may see some decent metal bands in there some where

much like the BDO you'll have to sit through some crap just to watch something decent like Machine Head

Not paying just to see Bad Religion so hopefully a sideshow, although doubt it

I think you would like Face to Face.

 

[pennywisealfie]

did Thrice really pull out? wow that brings the appeal down for me, quite a bit. Still, BR, Story Of The Year, Face to Face and Thursday should be good enough to get me there.

Bad religion is the only punk band mate. all the rest is pop punk emo crap

 

[BLKOUT!]

Metal heads are never happy. This is like the 500th Soundwave, you guys know what to expect yet every year it's the same thing :lol: "DONT WANT TO SIT THROUGH ALL THESE CRAPPY EMO BANDS!!!!"

 

[natheel]

To be fair 2011 sw was majority of metal bands and big ones at that! This was always going to b a different fest

That's right. I will stay on the punk/metal stage until Alice, Van Halen and Machine head and depends where they play Alter Bridge. As far a festivals go it's pretty well set up to avoid that.

It's not like BDO where 1/2 the stages are Crap Dj/Dance music. It's all rock of some sort just stage hop it's sweet. The only band that I wont sit through is Hole Courtney Love is a bitch. Pretty Reckless may be more pop for my liking they do have a hot chick that sings in undies. Very watchable if I need to stay in the pit for later

Well Van Halen is rumoured to of demanded $1.2m a show. Maybe the high asking price was due to NOT doing sideshows. I guess we just wait & see

lol...countless people have been asking for sideshows because they only want to see 1 or 2 bands, and you're sooking about metal fans. cool story

 

[natheel]

yeah unfortunatley Thrice had to pull out for personal issues...3rd time they have backed outof a Soundwave sadly.

replacement band announced next week apparently....i hope its someone in the punk/post hardcore genre aswell would love AJ to pull The Vandals out of his arse

 

[natheel]

lol...countless people have been asking for sideshows because they only want to see 1 or 2 bands, and you're sooking about metal fans. cool story

metal fans r usually the ones who do get a bit ripped off with this festival....but id say expect soundwave 2012 to be a metal festival.

SOAD already being rumoured as headliner

 

[zombie jesus]

Any venues announced?
