Now at Sydney Showground! http://www.oztix.com.au/Home/tabid/373/mid/852/newsid852/837/Sydney-Soundwave-Change-Of-Venue/Default.aspx

There used to be a saying at Soundwave that no one band is bigger than the
festival.

That saying will be tested in 2011 as we proudly announce a rare chance to see

rock legends Iron Maiden as the headline artist for next year’s
festival. Maiden are one of the few artists that inspire loyalty and worship by
a constantly growing army that spans several generations of not only fans, but
other rock musicians ranging from today’s biggest metal bands to pop icons.

What makes Iron Maiden unique amongst their peers is that the band has never
lost their creative touch and their ability to deliver album after album of
greatness. Just when you would think there cannot be another hitherto
undiscovered original yet amazing guitar riff; Maiden turn up with another album
full of new classics to add to metal and rock’s greatest back catalogue.

Only a fool would bet against the band’s upcoming album, [album artist=Iron
Maiden]The Final Frontier, being anything less than a masterpiece.
Only a fool would bet against Iron Maiden, period.

Maiden will be bringing with them the full stage production that featured in
their hugely successful recent tour of North America, where they played to
almost 400,000 fans over the 25 shows. And of course that includes Eddie’s
latest incarnation…!!

Joining our gargantuan headliners is a cast of rock, punk and metal luminaries,
headed by the regal guitar rock of Queens of the Stone Age,
metal gods Slayer, indie pioneers Primus, the
incomparable Slash and fifty or so other international artists
who form the who is who of cutting edge music for the coming decade.

And that is just the 1st announcement…

QOTSA, Primus, Maiden, One Day As a Lion, Trash Talk, The Sword, Terror, Slash and to an extent DevilDriver were all great. Needed more Slayer though.

Nah, Dimmu Borgir sucked. I did have a good laugh telling them to play Sorgens Kammer. And to continue something started before, for fuck's sake Slayer
