With the epic lineups the burgeoning Soundwave festival has managed to pull for the last two years there’s been plenty of conjecture as to which artists will be fitting the bill for 2010. The following tasty list has been confirmed by festival organisers.
Pants were almost wet at the Music Feeds offices when we read that FUCKING FAITH NO MORE were joining the annual rock-fest, and with JANE’S ADDICTION making up for their failed Splendour appearance the lineup was already starting to once again look impressive… then we saw MESHUGGAH and the FUCKING EAGLES OF DEATH METAL were also on the bill, and Mikey peed himself… The full first lineup is as follows:
