Soundwave 2012

[Strapping Young Lad]

My tickets cost me $666.

My tickets cost me $666.

$160 for the ticket and $506 in booking fees

 

[Gray Day]

BDO is shit and has been for years. Soundwave looks great again next year... but did they have to bring Slipknot?

Bring on System, Mastodon, and Hatebreed, among others

 

[Coach Bombay]

Line-up is so good I will be coming home for it.

Lamb Of God is priority #1. One of the best live sounding bands on the planet.

All comes down to who clashes with who I guess.

 

[HigginsHawk]

Only clashes that can be ruled out at this stage are SOAD, Slipknot, Manson and Limp Bizkit will not clash with each other, nor with any other 'metal' bands. Bands that will be on the other stages at the same time will be different styles. You can pick your own definition of metal these days.

 

[ChrisFooty]

Did the pre-sale sell out? I purchased a ticket af 5pm. Got it too easy

It's a wonderful line up, I guess the thing that would stop it from sellling out is the likes of Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Hole, Marilyn Manson are not as big as they once were. Plus System of a Down have been inactive for a few years now. Should be great!

 

[Le Class]

Tickets already purchased for Perth and Adelaide

Still contemplating whether I want to do Melbourne or not too! By far best lineup I've seen on any Australia Festival thus far

 

[ChrisFooty]

The only negative is a great band such as Black Label Society may only get a 30 minute slot during lunchtime hour. And the clashes.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Spent another $666 today. Sydney and Melbourne shows sorted.

Now for sidewaves

 

[Zakk Wylde]

This...

 

[MelbourneCrow]

Ticketed now . Going to Harvest - BDO - Soundwave, the summer just gets progressively louder .

 

[Ronkleton]

Great lineup. Really looking forward to seeing Watain, Mastodon, Meshuggah, Gojira, SOAD and Machine Head.

Second announcement has been moved from December to Wed 19th (tomorrow) night. A further 15-20 bands are rumoured to be announced. Quite probably will be a smaller 3rd announcement in Dec.

Hole have dropped out after Ms Love refused to be on a stage that had Limp Bizkit on it. Expect a replacement for them as well.

Expect about 82 bands all up.

Tickets on sale on Thursday.

She refused to play before Limp Bizkit. Because she obviously thinks that Hole are/were a bigger band than Limp Bizkit........fool!

 

[HigginsHawk]

Like Avenged Sevenfold all over again! She probably thinks Hole should be on after SOAD playing a ninety minute set! Don't envy AJ dealing with the egos trying to set it all up and keep everybody vaguely happy.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Wishlists for second announcement, people? ( not that it'll happen)


I'd like to see a few more sludge/stoner acts added.

Down
Kyuss lives(if they're still touring)
Big Business
Torche
Pelican


Would love to see Mark of Cain added as well, just for some Aussie love.

Yeah, for mine this lineup doesn't have much that interests older fans such as myself. Kyuss Lives would probably get me there. Would love Cathedral or Electric Wizard or Blood Ceremony but I reckon I'm Han Solo here.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Not so quick there Rusty, there are some Electric Wizard fans on this board and even a thread dedicated to them...

Kyuss Lives would be worth the admittance fee alone.

 

[Franky_024]

Ohhh no not Hole.... hahaha

Seriously though fantastic lineup and will get better... lots of sideshows too will help avoid any 'clashes'... heres hoping for a Machinehead/Gojria/Trivium and Underoath sideshow
IMO alot of metal bands named so expect some average to below average punk/pop bands to keep the ladies happy. Soundwave > BDO since forever

 

[Tex_21]

Rumours are that the annoucement will be more punk-focussed aren't they?

Totally ignoring that, would get tickets to Melbourne (already have Adelaide tix) if The Darkness came.

It's more a case of if Nick Oliveri is allowed to leave the country after that incident with the police 2 months ago. They're still touring the US at the moment.

Hole is a better band than Limp Bizkit and should have been on after them, says a lot of for the shitness of Limp Bizkit.

I believe Nick is no longer playing with them at all, and that Scott Reeder is now playing bass.

 

[Ninty]

Hole are shit, I wish The Used and Cobra Starship would follow by dropping off the line up.

Otherwise, I like it. Road tripping to Brisbane, Sydney and Adelaide, + Melbourne and sidewaves of course.

I was hearing the Offspring will be announced

If they limit themselves to playing really early stuff, they may not get lynched.
