Soundwave 2016 Lineup Expands With Three More Acts

December 11, 2015

UPDATE 17/12/15 5.50pm: Soundwave 2016 has been officially cancelled.

The Soundwave 2016 lineup has expanded once again, with the addition of a hat-trick of new acts.

US metalcore act Walls Of Jericho, pop-punk veterans Relient K and industrial metal outfit Darkc3ll have been added to the fold, joining a fat 24-band bill featuring the likes of Disturbed, Deftones, Bring Me The Horizon, The Prodigy and Killswitch Engage.

Festival boss AJ Maddah announced the news on Twitter today in a series of tweets, as such:

For lovers of pop/rock: RELIENT K! #SW16

For metalcore fanswe bring you one of the most legendary bands of the genre: WALLS OF JERICHO #SW16

Rounding up this mini announcement, we are proud to have Dark Cell join the SW roadshow is our fav Goth rockers @DARKC3LL #SW16

Maddah previously reported that one more massive band could still be added to the bill, but he’s currently negotiating to get them over the line. He told Twitter followers that he’s working on their visas right now – just in case they sign on at the last minute – and in his most recent update says he’s feeling “confident” about it happening:

Presumably, this will be another headliner so we’ll be keeping our devil horns crossed!

@ThomassNorman I feel quite confident which is why I've hung in with it for so long.
