Soundwave’s new two-day format will mean twice as much Soundwave goodness for fans, with the tour kicking off in Adelaide and Melbourne, who’ll be sharing the launch weekend, before the next weekend brings Soundwave to Brisbane and Sydney, with bands switching on each second day. Maddah and co have made embracing our rock and roll very easy this time around, despite his previous prediction that, “If 2013 was a was a five, this would be a seven or eight.” However, buzz was reignited after their 2015 tour announcement was revealed to be coinciding with the SW15 lineup reveal. Maddah had told fans that frontman Brandon Boyd had “very different” plans preventing the band from making it. Incubus, meanwhile, were something of a sleeper hit. It seemed the band everyone wanted to see in 2015 was Slipknot, who are currently putting the finishing touches on their long-awaited fifth album - Maddah said he wouldn’t book the band until a new record was out - and previously indicated that they would “ definitely” tour Australia in 2015. Then came the Soundwave 2015/Music Feeds First Wave, during which Music Feeds was lucky enough to officially add talented international up-and-comers Coldrain, Butcher Babies, Patent Pending, Monuments, and The Interrupters to the lineup, and introduce them to Australian fans. Earlier in the year, promoter AJ Maddah confirmed via Twitter that two of Melbourne’s most beloved heavy bands, Confession and Ne Obliviscaris, had already been booked for Soundwave 2015. We’d already had several names on the lineup confirmed before the big announcement.

Australia and the US, they’re very similar and they both certainly embrace their rock and roll.” The similarities are greater than that of what America shares with European countries or with Japan or perhaps even New Zealand. “There’s something very similar in the cultures. “I think Australian audiences are very similar to American audiences when it comes to rock,” explained Kim.
Kim says fans can expect a good airing of tunes from across their discography, including plenty from their most recent album, King Animal. One man who definitely needs no introduction is Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil, who recently spoke to Music Feeds about the group’s plans for Soundwave.
