The set times for Counter Revolution have been released with a surprising turn of events, Taylor Momsen fronted The Pretty Reckless are nowhere to be seen. Fans jumped onto Twitter to ask promoter AJ Maddah about the missing band to which he replied:
Looks like The Pretty Reckless may now have to switch to Feb. Longer set times for ATL and Panic!

@mhall145 Some issue with recording, label, etc.

The response was electrified anger towards the festival, which has suffered a string of bad luck. Starting out as Soundwave Revolution with Van Halen to headline, the festival has since been moved twice in Melbourne ending up at Festival Hall with a fraction of the original lineup still playing. Other cities also had their venues downgraded to accomodate a smaller than expected turn out.
Fans turned to twitter to vent their frustration last night
@soundwavefest @iamnotshouting WHAT THE HELL. Why aren’t The Pretty Reckless coming anymore!? :(

If they do end up playing Soundwave 2012, The Pretty Reckless will join 15 to 20 bands for Soundwave 2012 that were acts originally booked for the Revolution.
