Linkin Park playing Soundwave 2013, returning to Australia Options

[Soul]

"After months of watching AJ Maddah’s twitter feed, an early confirmation from Blink 182 and one sleepless night the Soundwave Festival 2013 lineup has officially landed.

While it’s a little early to start thinking about Sidewave shows Maddah has already (unsurprisingly) ruled out the possibility of any sideshows in Perth or Adelaide. However he has announced that there’ll be “some legendary sideshows” including at least one from Blink 182."

Soundwave Festival 2013 lineup:
Metallica, Linkin Park, Blink-182, A Perfect Circle, The Offspring, Paramore, Garbage, Tomahawk, Stone Sour, Kyuss Lives, Anthrax, Sum 41, Dragonforce, All Time Low, Flogging Molly, Ghost, Duff McKagan’s Loaded, Motion City Soundtrack, Lawrence Arms, Kingdom Of Sorrow, Fozzy, Sleeping With Sirens, Cancer Bats, Madball, Vision of Disorder, Pierce the Veil, Periphery, Shai Halud, Of Mice & Men, Miss May I, Danko Jones, Woe Is Me, The Wonder Years, While She Sleeps, Such Gold, Lucero, Six Feet Under, Deaf Havana, Red Fang, Chunk! No Captain Chunk! and Memphis May Fire!

The Soundwave Festival takes place in early 2013 in Australia and makes the following stops on the festival tour:

Saturday 23rd February – Brisbane
Sunday 24th February – Sydney
Friday 1st March – Melbourne
Saturday 2nd March – Adelaide

[Pez]

Bring on all 5 shows!

[Hahninator]

Someone said 10 Years was playing. Where'd that info come from? If so, WOW, epic. In a recent video interview they said they were trying to go to Australia soon.

[AUS-Mitch]

Hell Yeah, I'm going to be @ Sydney !!! .:Linkin Park:. Cannot Wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

apparently there are about 10 more bands to announced is what I heard

[marzo23]

@ Mark: but the poster also says that bands will be annouced^^

nice line up =) but if they all play on one day. LP isnt the headliner^^ so maybe only a 75min set? o.O

[Hybrid1988]

Wow, Periphery, Ghost, and Tomahawk on the same bill as LP!? That's awesome! I wish America could get some decent festivals like this every once in a while because LP would never take bands like these out on tour.

Who thinks they will do a sideshow in each city?

Who thinks they will do a sideshow in each city?

Maybe one or two cities, not each of them

"At that point maybe 'Powerless' will be getting worked in there, so a lot of the new record is going to be incorporated into our new set, as well as a lot of the songs that people really want to hear. And also some songs that we've put on the backburner for a while, so hopefully a lot of a our fans that came to our last show will get something that they didn't really get before."

Any songs you think will be on the HCT that they didn't play in Europe thats not in LT?

[Hahninator]

I doubt they'll do any older stuff on HCT that they didn't do in Europe.

Will be joining my bro Pez on all five Soundwave dates! Can't wait.

AJ Maddah (promoter?) from the Soundwave crew said there won't be any 'Sidewaves' in either Perth or Adelaide. Major suckage, but since I'm planning on the Australia-wide trip, hopefully that means we'll get some bonus shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

Haha damn straight dude. Hayleigh and Mason are keen too - trying to work out now who else is gonna join us. My bro's GF is likely to as well.

You wanna hear what a chick I work with just said about the lineup? She was talking to someone else, but said it in a raised voice on purpose so that I would hear - 'I couldn't think of anything worse than that lineup.' But this chick went to John Farnham and Lady Gaga so opinion is invalid

[Hahninator]

worse LOL, that's the filthiest lineup around. Metallica and APC, DAMN. You need 10 Years on it ASAP.
