That time has come around again for the Soundwave 2012 lineup to be announced. Rumours have been swirling who may be playing the festival since August when sister event Soundwave Revolution collapses after it was rumoured Van Halen was forced to cancel. A number of the acts booked to play Revolution, such as Courtney Love’s Hole, were quickly moved to Soundwave 2012’s lineup following the cancellation.

Since then Soundwave HQ has been feeding us the usual drip feed of acts, most notably when Coal Chamber announced they’ll be reforming just to play Soundwave and would not be playing any other shows anywhere in the world.
