UPDATE: The first full Soundwave 2016 lineup is here!
The drip feed is officially dry and the floodgates are about to open.
It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting… and waiting… and waiting for: the full Soundwave 2016 lineup announcement.
In an Australian first, the official unveiling of the first SW16 bill will take place right here on Music Feeds, coming at you as a LIVE video stream from 7.30 PM AEDT tonight, Friday 30th October. And to celebrate, we’re pulling out all the stops.
We’ll be announcing the first Soundwave 2016 lineup LIVE from Music Feeds Studios, discussing everything you need to know about the festival’s new rewards program, along with a few other surprises featuring your very own Soundwave 2016 artists.
This will be the first full slog of artists confirmed for the 2016 festival and there will be even more acts announced over the coming weeks. Tickets for the festival are on sale now from the Soundwave website.
But wait, there’s more. Before we unleash the full force of the Soundwave 2016 lineup, there will be one final drip of that infamous drip feed, when the 12th band officially confirmed for the festival is unveiled this afternoon at 4:20 on triple j. Stay tuned for the news as soon as it arrives.
You can check out the full lineup, so far, below. Then we’ll catch you back here tonight LIVE from 7.30pm AEDT.
