Soundwave Festival

The annual touring staple, the Soundwave Festival, has been canceled for 2016 and looks to have possibly shuttered for good.

Next year's Soundwave Festival just got even better as Killswitch Engage are slated to perform 'Alive or Just Breathing' in full each night of the fest.

Soundwave Festival has become one of Australia’s hottest musical commodities and the newly announced 2014 lineup boasts some of the biggest superstars of the rock and metal genres.

The Sydney stop of Australia's Soundwave Festival was marred Sunday (Feb. 24) by an audience member who decided to let off a flare that set off a fire during Bring Me the Horizon's performance. One female fan in particular suffered serious burns on her forearm after she was struck by debris from the flare.

If you still weren't sold knowing that Metallica, Anthrax, Linkin Park, Stone Sour and A Perfect Circle were heading to Australia's Soundwave Festival early next year, does the addition of Slayer make you want to book your ticket right now?

Start booking your travel for Australia in late February and early March of next year, as the Soundwave Festival is going to be something special. Organizers have just announced a bill for the traveling music event that will feature Metallica, Linkin Park, A Perfect Circle, Stone Sour, and Anthrax among other top acts.
