The Soundwave 2016 freight train simply refuses to stop rolling along, with yet another name now confirmed for next year’s lineup and this time around, it’s one of the biggest local acts in our bustling metalcore scene. Yes, please welcome Northlane to Soundwave 2016!
The Sydney metalcore outfit have been generating serious momentum in recent months thanks to the release of their chart-topping new album, Node, which has been garnering rave reviews both at home and abroad.
Soundwave organisers have begun slowly unveiling lineup names, already confirming appearances from Bullet For My Valentine, Dead Letter Circus, Failure, and most recently, Refused.
Having experimented with a two-day format for their last instalment, Soundwave Festival 2016 will see Australia’s premier hard rock and heavy metal event return to the single-day format, hitting up venues in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne.
Meanwhile, the rumour mill has been spitting out potential lineup names for months now. Most recently there was talk that Swedish hard rockers Ghost could make the roster after a member revealed they’re planning an Oz tour for early 2016.
