Australia's Soundwave Music Festival Canceled

Australia’s biggest rock festival, Soundwave, has disastrously been cancelled after a headliner pulled out, another denied they were confirmed and it emerged venues had not been booked for the touring show’s Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne legs in just over a month, reports The Sydney Morning Herald.

The festival’s promoter AJ Maddah tweeted on Thursday evening the festival was off “due to poor ticket sales”. Maddah then tweeted that he’d unsuccessfully “tried to get Rage Against the Machine back together” to plug the gaps in the lineup.

Veteran American rock act L7 pulled out of the huge touring festival with a short statement on Facebook. On Tuesday, British headlining act Bring Me The Horizon indicated they were not locked in yet, despite the metalcore act’s name featuring prominently on the Soundwave website. The band is one of Soundwave’s major drawcards, having hit no.1 on the ARIA charts with its last three albums, including the recent That’s The Spirit.
