Hold on to your butts, heavy music fans. The annual cacophony of sound that is the Soundwave Festival has just dropped its lineup for the 2015 incarnation. Diagnosis: Huge.
‘Course we know that this will be the first time the festival splits in twain and is run across two days – concurrently in two cities – much like how the Falls Festival operates.
And now we’ve got ourselves a wee bit of a look-see at who will be playing and on what day. It’s still roughly the same amount of bands as usual, but the festival will have less stages than previously, which means less lineup clashes, and a significant reduction in cases of severe FOMO.
But don’t take my word for it. Get a load of the lineups for yourselves, why don’t you!
