News : Soundwave Festival 2015 gets heavier

By on November 28, 2014

The Soundwave machine bring us the goods yet again. Announcing a further 15 bands on top of the artists already announced for the Soundwave Festival next year. Bringing the total number of bands performing to sixty one. The new additions include Animals As Leaders, Dragonforce, Nonpoint and Killer Be Killed among others.

ANIMALS AS LEADERS
BAYSIDE
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA
DRAGONFORCE
EVERGREEN TERRACE
FUCKED UP
HE IS LEGEND
KILLER BE KILLED
LE BUTCHERETTES
LOWER THAN ATLANTIS
NONPOINT
ONE OK ROCK
SLEEPWAVE
TWIN ATLANTIC
THE WONDER YEARS

As reported previously Soundwave Festival next year will be held across two days. This new criss-cross effect will allow Soundwave Festival goers a unique experience, allowing for a more relaxed day and bigger bands to play headline evening slots and not be forced to play in the middle of the day. AJ Maddah, overseer of Soundwave explains.

Soundwave Festival 2015 will be held over 2 days in each city – Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane. Half the bands play day one. The other half play day two. They criss-cross Saturday/Sunday in each city.

Adelaide & Melbourne will be the 1st weekend of the festival. The dates for these two cities are Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 of February.

Sydney and Brisbane will be the 2nd weekend of the festival; held over Saturday 28 February and Sunday 1 March.

The ticket price for the 2 days will be the same as last year. $185 + booking fees. These will be limited in number. There will also be a number of day tickets available at $120 + booking fees.

We are hoping that offering day tickets will make the festival experience available to those who may not be able to afford weekend tickets. Putting the line-up across 2 days enables us to minimise clashes; give bands longer sets, better staging, production & infrastructure. We are also hoping that this will give fans better value for money and a less stressful day

The entire lineup will be announced at once and weekend tickets will then go on sale. The lineup will then be split into individual days when day tickets go on sale.

In recent years we have lost great bands over too many bands wanting to play after dark. This new set-up also gives us twice the dark!

Soundwave have also promised a third line up announcement and timetables before Christmas. Making for a special Christmas gift for all of us.
