Soundwave 2015

[Animus]

If you want to see some local bands to warm yourself up for Soundwave, get yourself along to the MidCoast Meltdown at Pt Noarlunga Footy club this Saturday from 3pm. Can't go wrong with live music and a few tasty beverages ;-)

Welcome back SECTOR III

My wife is keen to go to day 2 to see Smashing Pumpkins, so I'll probably tag along. not a heap else on the lineup that excites me though (will watch Animals as Leaders and Apocalyptica, not sure what else yet)

Apparently ticket sales are so bad this year in Adelaide. it may be the last one here.

From an industry insider "very, very poor".

The number I heard was "just over 50% of tickets are pre-sold, we expect another 10-15% on the Saturday to sell at the gate"

[Q.]

That's what you get for putting up a rubbish line up.

There's literally 4 or 5 bands i have to see. The rest ill be checking out just because im there.

Weaker line-up than prior years, spread over two days. Slow ticket sales should come as no surprise.

I also notice how 'credit card fees' have made their way into ticket sales.

Poor line ups and exorbitant ticket prices aren't a great recipe for success.

$200+ for a two day pass or $140+ for a one-day ticket reeks of AJ trying to gouge the SW faithful to recoup his losses from the BDO.

Absolutely. The line-up is hardly inspiring, the likes of many of us ( I assume ) into our 30's or older cringe at the thought of a 2 day event without taking the Monday off to recover, food/drinks over two days ( conservative $150/day? = $300 ) on top of a $200 ticket. Makes for an event that, even without hitting the gas hard, would be $400-500 and perhaps a day off to boot.

Agree with @Booney here, there is no way I could budget two days. Why not, scale back the amount of bands and have it on one day?? Quality over quantity......

I am going Sat only this year pretty much to see Soundgarden. If they scaled back bands and had it on one day just imagine Smashing Pumpkins, Slipknot, Soundgarden & Faith No More on the one day??!!

Just heard on the radio that this years is Adelaide's last

[RustyCage]

AJ on Twitter:

We haven't taken Adelaide out of the equation, Adelaide has taken us out of the equation.

[Q.]

AJ is a massive wanker.

[saintal]

Sunday's forecast increased from 27 to 38 overnight Not weather conducive for

[Dogwatcher]

AJ is a goose.

Had my groupie moment yesterday when I walked passed the Mayfair Hotel and saw Chris Cornell check-in.

[Dogwatcher]

So...you're saying you ****** him?

[Gozu]

So...you're saying you ****** him?

"Does Chris Cornell look like a bitch?"

"What?"

"Say what again motherf**ker I dare you"

First draft on my planner on the app....

Day 1
- Hollywood Undead
- Crown The Empire
- He Is Legend
- The Devil Wears Prada

Day 2
- Nonpoint
- Killer Be Killed
- Millencolin
- Escape The Fate
- Of Mice & Men
- Slipknot

Need to fill in a few gaps, and some of them Im not 100% on seeing on Day 2. The bands on Day 1 are all must sees for me though.
