Been rumour rumbling for a while, here's the PR.

Event and ticketing information available on December 7 at www.soundwavefestival.com

SATURDAY 24 FEBRUARY BRISBANE – RIVERSTAGE
SUNDAY 25 FEBRUARY SYDNEY – SYDNEY PARK, NEWTOWN
SATURDAY 3 MARCH PERTH – ROBINSON PAVILION & SURROUNDS

The multiple stage event will feature exclusive performances by:
Deftones
+44
Thrice
Unwritten Law
Hatebreed
Parkway Drive*
18 Visions
Juliette & The Licks
Something With Numbers
Flyleaf
The Format
Houston Calls
Hit The Lights

With many more bands to be announced (we're withholding a few bands for no other reason than to have a 2nd announcement - it's rather fashionable. Apparently).

So, maybe a little too much emo there, though I do likes me some Deftones and Riverstage is a nice summer rock show venue.

f***ing amazing band

wonder how much it will be looks great

Next announcements is going to have yellowcard

I'm really hoping they allow deftones to do a side show - there is no one else on that i'd really want to see.. And well, i just love my chino (fat or not) :-(

But i guess if i have to go to soundwave festival to (finally) see them then i will. The only thing that bothers me is that having never heard of this festival before, how long will it take to sell out?? If at all?! And how much is it!?

It has been going for years. First time it has gone on the road, it used to always be in perth.

ahhh thats where it came from, anything with deftones and parkway is cool.

i saw deftones at Bdo they were apparently "s***" but i love them so much i though it was amazing.

unwritten law pwn

+44 would be interesting to see live to see how blinkish they can be

travis is actually playing with 1 arm at the moment because he broke his wrist

will be there..hopefully taking photos
