The announcement of the 2012 Soundwave lineup was one of most anticipated events of the year and didn’t disappoint with news that System Of A Down, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Marilyn Manson and Hole would be travelling to our shores.

Unfortunately Courtney Love chucked one of her usual tantrums earlier this week and pulled out of the festival when she found out she was playing further down the bill from Limp Bizkit. Luckily the team at Soundwave have had a few more cards up their sleeves and have unveiled a whole heap of new acts to the bill.
