ITS WHAT YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR, THE LINEUP FOR SOUNDWAVE 2010!!

Following its most successful year, we are hoping that in years from now, folks will look at the 2010 Soundwave line-up and wonder how so much ROCK from around the world was assembled together in 5 cities across Australia.

For 2010 we are particularly proud to have enticed one of rock’s all time legendary artists, FAITH NO MORE ; and one of today’s most talented and intriguing bands, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE to top the bill. Joining them will be indie legends and festival kings JANES ADDICTION, the kings of dark punk AFI and one of the hottest bands in the world, PARAMORE.

We are also thrilled to be graced by the presence of the newly reformed and legendary SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE and the hotly anticipated return of GET UP KIDS and ALEXISONFIRE.

In true SOUNDWAVE fashion there will be plenty of great new bands to discover as well old and new favourites.

    AFI playing Love Is A Many Splendored Thing is what made the day for me. One of their old, punk hardcore, FAST songs that barely anyone knew. Loved it.

    Best of the day was def JEW. Followed closely by GUK, then FYS and anti-flag.

    I checked out; Emarosa (man they were good, never heard them and wasn't disappointed), caught ISIS damn they are good, saw Clutch they weren't too bad may check them out, Anthrax was great never heard them before that. Placebo were a tad average but were a ton better than AFI. Janes Addiction with the original lineup a joy to behold, Paramore was good not my favourite music though, Jimmy eat world were poor tbh considering they played before Faith No More. Faith No More clearly my highlight from my first Soundwave. Hope to go next year, and hopefully Closure In Moscow are there :) but too many Aussie bands may hurt Soundwave, leave them for BDO :)
