The end of Adelaide Soundwave?
Soundwave festival organiser A.J. Maddah has taken to Twitter to declare that “it looks highly likely that we can no longer proceed with Soundwave in Adelaide.”
In a series of tweets he explains that “Adelaide City Council have decided to apply the same rent charges to each of the load-in, set-up and tear down days as charged for show day and take a % of each ticket to Soundwave”
Maddah goes on to claim that with rent increasing “1100%, charges per ticket & the fact rest of country is already subsidising Adelaide, this is the end of SW”
This is a massive blow for Adelaide punters, especially after the success of the 2010 festival prompted FasterLouder’s Adelaide editor to declare Soundwave 2010 the best festival experience ever to be seen in Adelaide.
