Soundwave Rev

Ugh, you guys, I hate Soundwave. Not as much as I hate the Big Day Out, but Soundwave is absolutely second on the list. Basically, I don't care how fucking great you treat journalists (and they are basically perfect in that regard, credit where credit is due) if you treat your patrons like such shit that there are literally busloads of kids being transported away from the area outside the medical tent due to sunstroke and dehydration.

In short: Soundwave, not my favourites.

But they've just released the line-up for their new September side-festival, Soundwave Revolution.

Hole. Panic! at the Disco. The Used. Thursday. The Damned Things.

This is not playing fair, Soundwave.

So... who's going to which dates, my beloved tour bros?

Interestingly enough, the Soundwave events here in Adelaide have been some of the best festival days I've ever been to. Well organised, good security, generally good venue in terms of shade, etc. It does help that Adelaide's nice and small so we don't get the stupidly huge crowds, and because the individual scenes are so small here people tend to get along ok. Way better than Big Day Out (although, our Big Day's Out are generally pretty ok as well.) I haven't heard where they're actually going to hold the Adelaide event, though, which could be a worry - Bonython Park in October could be nice and dry, or it could be mud-tacular.

So yeah. I'll be at the Adelaide date! Possibly by my lonesome! I need RL bandom buddies :-(
