This weekend, the Soundwave 2010 juggernaut finally gets rolling, and FasterLouder is set to be the festival’s second home.

With the tour beginning tomorrow in Brisbane, we sent a photographer down to the airport this afternoon to greet the early arrivals. Check out our shots of Motion City Soundtrack, The Weakerthans and more arriving in the sunny climes of Queensland.

FL HQ is also going backstage at the Sydney Soundwave on Sydney, to bring you the usual musings, sneaky photos and side-of-stage action. Be sure to follow us on Twitter and become a fan of FasterLouder on Facebook for all the updates. Of course, the working week will begin not only with sore heads, but also the official galleries from our shooters in the pit and on the ground.

In the meantime, play FasterLouder’s oh-so-amazing Soundwave party game ‘Whose Crowd Is That?’ Simply match the Soundwave 2009 crowd with the Soundwave 2009 band.

Here are the contenders to choose from (keep this tab open): Billy Talent, Lacuna Coil, Evergreen Terrace, Alice In Chains, Dillinger Escape Plan, Madina Lake, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
