Only announced a few weeks ago, Soundwave have already captivated the public attention around Australia with the announcement of System Of A Down, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Marilyn Manson and more for the 2012 event.
Controversy hit the festival last week when Courtney Love cancelled her band Hole’s appearance at the festival after a war of words with promoter AJ Maddah over their billing under Limp Bizkit. However the hissy fit hasn’t appeared to have dapended demand for tickets as an extremely hungry audience have continued to buy tickets at a record rate.
A second announcement of acts was made late last week adding Bad Religion, Tonight Alive, Strung Out and more. Today Soundwave announced that the Melbourne date had already sold out, issuing a statement that read: “Thank you Victoria! The Melbourne leg of Soundwave 2012 has sold out…and in record time! The remaining states are not far behind with Brisbane and Sydney expected to sell out shortly as well!”
Maddah warned last week that only a few thousand tickets were left for the Melbourne date so tickets are moving extremely fast. He also stressed that Brisbane and Sydney were not far behind, reiterated in Soundwave’s statement today, so expect Brisbane and Sydney to sell out soon too.
