Rumours are now saying it was Aerosmith that was supposed to sign on and didn't. I doubt we'll ever know what the hell really happened. lol

Wow, if so that's a much greater shame than Limp Bizkit, haha. I rather like Aerosmith.

But I don't want to miss a thing. Damn I feel jaded. Still, I'll stay optimistic with Devin coming back and dream on...

Sounds like now that the promoters are trying to put together a series of smaller "themed" shows for the bands who were scheduled for Soundwave. A "metal" show, a "punk" show, that kind of thing. I've heard that Van Halen will not be there anytime soon, but there is a really good chance that Devin may end up in one of the smaller shows planned.

YEEEHAAAAA!!!!!!

i have read great news... okay sadly it says devy aint coming to a soundwave minifestival this year... but alas
apparently he is confirmed for the 2012 soundwave line-up...

to me this is great news as i just spent my soundwave ticket budget money to attend a stevie vai clinic.

hope ya'll like the good as possible news... the man is on his way back....

It looks like Soundwaves inability to be professional has paid off, as now Townsend will return with Gojira, Machine Head AND Dillinger Escape Plan.
So there's one extra band that is worth seeing.
Pretty ridiculous that my 3 favourite bands of all time (plus machine head) will be playing on the one day.

I might go now. Dillinger is a welcome bonus.

Just hope the Melbourne show is somewhere civilisation-friendly (like the Music Bowl).

I mean, Melton, ffs?

So, the next Soundwave's line up, with Devin, has been released. Plenty of other awesome bands, bands that make me go "meh", and bands that I will happily avoid.

Meshuggah and Limp Bizkit in the same show, with the latter receiving higher billing. What the hell?
I'm tempted to go, but I'm also tempted to see who gets sideshows. We'll see.

WHAT? A more famous band higher up on the bill? What is this bullfuckery?

The fact that Limp Bizkit are on the line up at all is bullfuckery. They'd be better suited at Big Day Out. Oh well.

Dev mentioned that they're looking at side-gigs.

I'm in.

I love Limp Bizkit so....

Ah, didn't know that. *shrugs*

Yeah, if there are sideshows for the other bands I'm interested in seeing I'll just go to them, higher accumulative ticket prices be damned.

Just noticed that the Adelaide Soundwave date is March 3rd...same day as the 1st Clipsal 500 V8 round.
Gonna be busy over there.
I'd like to do a multi-city effort like last time, but if there is a side show in Adelaide...it would very likely have to be Sunday 4th, again overlapping with the Clipsal. Flights could be scarce.
I guess I'll suss it out if and when it is added.

Bought my Soundwave ticket for Melbourne! HELL YEAH i Cant WAIT!!!
