Soundwave soars through Australia

Soundwave soars through Australia

Soundwave is about to shock the country into life once again, but this year the festival has a twist. The 2015 Soundwave Music festival is being held over two days for the first time in its eight-year history, with a criss-crossing line-up between cities to make things extra interesting. 

Head to Adelaide's Bonython Park on 21 and 22 February, or venture to the Victorian capital city for a Melbourne Showgrounds extravaganza.


Dedicated fans can catch all the excitement again on February 28 and 1 March at Sydney's Olympic Park and the Brisbane Showgrounds.The two-day structure of the event means there will be fewer clashes than previous years, with longer sets and better quality production making for an improved Soundwave experience. It's no doubt going to be one of the best events in Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney this summer, with one of the most incredible rock and metal lineups seen on our shores in years.


Who's playing?

Fans of rock, metal and alternative music will be blown away by this year's festival lineup. Start with Slipknot, one of the most significant hard rock groups ever. With 11 platinum and 38 gold records under their belt, Slipknot have impressed yet again with their most recent album All Hope Is Gone, which debuted at number one in a whopping seven countries.

You can also see rock legends Soundgarden take the stage at Soundwave. Chris Cornell will bring his distinctive gravelly voice the centre cities for a rendition of all the band's beloved hits, giving crowds a chance to see just how the band came to score two Grammies during its peak.

Speaking of distinctive voices, Billy Corgan will be bringing his down under, along with the Smashing Pumpkins. This is a group that has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide and amassed multiple Grammy Awards, bringing a unique style of rock to contemporary audiences.

Other headliners include the likes of Marilyn Manson, Faith No More, Incubus, Fall Out Boy, Judas Priest, All Time Low, New Found Glory, Lamb of God, Fear Factory and dozens more. Gates open at 11am on each day of the event, so make sure you arrive early to catch all your favourite bands.


"Soundwave 2015 is set to be bigger and better than ever before. With headliners such as Faith No More, Soundgarden and Smashing Pumpkins, it's sure to be a success."
