Soundwave Revolution:confirmations, rumours andbets

Tue 29th Mar, 2011 in Local News

CLICK HERE FOR THE COMPLETE 2011 SOUNDWAVE REVOLUTION LINE-UP

Forty-nine bands have been confirmed for Soundwave Revolution so far and for every artist announced there has been a dozen more clues dropped.

Brisbane Revolution – Saturday 24th September
Sydney Revolution – Sunday 25th September
Melbourne Revolution – Friday 30th September
Adelaide Revolution – Saturday 1st October
Perth Revolution – Monday 3rd October

The venue for Soundwave Revolution in Brisbane will be the same as Soundwave (RNA Showgrounds); in all other states the Revolution will be held at different venues.

The festival’s promoter AJ Maddah has declared that the all ages festival will be a one off for 2011, that he’s ‘99% sure there won’t be any sideshows for Soundwave Revolution’ although Yellowcard has announced on their blog that “We will also be playing a couple of headlining shows while we are [in Australia for Soundwave Revolution]”.

With so many clues piling in each day, we put our sleuthing hats on and gathered together all the evidence floating around on the internet to make some educated guesses (and take a few wild stabs in the dark) about who will be coming to our shores for Soundwave Revolution this September.

These bets were placed back on March 29th and so far they’ve proved to be fairly accurate… who will be added next?

Consistency, I was just ducking an attack of the willys, if ya get what I'm saying and I reckon you cop the willys a bit.

Why is the confirmed no list bigger then the confirmed list. Also how credible is any of this pre empting shiza if you ruled out one band (Panic) but now they are playing?

Is Soad playing anywhere else in the world at that time? I'm just asking if anyone knows.

The Offspring would be cool.

tyler07

tyler07 said on the 6th May, 2011

Valid point daveyac, this lineup definitely lacks some quality, but the only band you seem to have been raving about is Sum41... A prime contributor to the lack of quality...

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 6th May, 2011

Their later output is nothing remarkable, but they were excellent at Soundwave. Had a massive crowd and great energy.

tyler07

tyler07 said on the 6th May, 2011

I saw their last 10 minutes or so while waiting for The Gaslight Anthem, and half their crowd left in Brisbane after they played 'In Too Deep' or whatever its called, which was their 2nd or 3rd last song.
The 3 songs I saw were probably the only 3 I know of theirs, and yep, they definitely sucked.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 6th May, 2011

For once we agree. I could live with one new song being played if it meant having a blast singing along to In Too Deep and Fat Lip. Not to mention Deryck is a great frontman.

The only good thing the frontman of Sum41 has ever done is nail Avril Lavigne.

shazie

shazie said on the 6th May, 2011

Sum 41 were a lot of fun at sydney, definitely one of my highlights from the day. New stuff isnt too exciting (except I quite like screaming bloody murder) but their old stuff will always get me jumping around with my mates

Edit: I forgot to say, every time they play they always have too many long pauses in-between parts if their songs. Pausing for effect works once, maybe twice but then just becomes a time waster.

daz2811

daz2811 said on the 8th May, 2011

you can add to the confirmed not to be playing: any band hailing from australia!!! its disgraceful!

mooney88

mooney88 said on the 8th May, 2011

Seriously. This pisses me off so much. If you play in a punk/metal band in Australia what hope of playing at a festival do you have. Festivals help expose bands to large crowds that they may otherwise never stumble across them. Surely it would be cheaper for the festival to have some Australian acts on the bill, rather than some of the American bands that no one has ever heard of.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 8th May, 2011

You've been thinking about saying something for SIX YEARS, and THAT'S your opener? Really?

Acro said on the 8th May, 2011

wait, what?

isn't that precisely the point of bringing out bands that nobody has heard of? so they can be exposed to large crowds?

He's saying that they should have Australian bands no one has heard of so they can get the exposure, instead of paying more for American bands to have that opportunity.

I agree 100%, but I wouldn't see them anyway, if you're going to make shitty/emo/screamo/crabcore garbage then it's your own fault for not getting recognised.

If he's announcing the lineup tomorrow shouldn't they be locked in by now?

tyler07

tyler07 said on the 10th May, 2011

Well, he tweeted 15 hours ago 'Will know in a few hours' in response to somebody asking him 'any hopes for Rancid?'.
He had been keeping a spot open for either Weezer or Rancid. By the looks of things he offered Weezer alot of money and has attempted to get them 'about 30 times over the past 8 years'.

p1owz0r

p1owz0r said on the 10th May, 2011

i have a massive weezer dilemma, i have tickets to go and see them at brixton academy on july 6th which unknown to me at the time is when i am spending time at my dad's place in north wales - harlech to be exact - which is at least five hours there and back.

Now here's the thing -i have two young kids, and my wife would come with me to the concert and don't get me wrong the grandparents would be cool to look after them, but my parents are going to be angry that i go around the world to see them for the first time in five years and piss off for what would amount to most of the day (whether i stay overnight or not) to watch a concert.

Having said all that, i've been a fan of weezer since the blue album and they are one of very, very few bands that i haven't seen and really want to....i think it's basically them and rage for long term likes....

To me that seems like a pretty lame attempt to convince fans that there is a chance these bands will play.

For bands like Rancid and Weezer who have been far from frequent tourers to Australia, just sending an offer of money hardly seems likely to secure a tour. Given that it's the day before the lineup is to be released, I think there would be almost no chance that one of these bands were about to accept an offer out of the blue.

You may as well say you're hoping Led Zeppelin play.

tyler07

tyler07 said on the 10th May, 2011

I don't think he's offered them the spot in the last 24 hours.. He already said months ago that he'd be touring Weezer later in 2011. So I'm thinking he was confident of them playing and Weezer have turned it down in the last day or so.

Or they never signed on to do the festival and they're doing their own tour? Who knows. I definitely would need more than 90 minutes of Weezer to make it worthwhile.

If the dude really has tried over 30 times in 8 years, then something tells me that you'll never see them.

I love that Momsen is playing the same festival as the woman who is quite clearly the one she's trying to rip off.
