On Friday October 30 the first 2016 Soundwave line up was announced. This announcement comes pretty late in comparison to when previous year’s announcements came and the list seems pretty light on, again, in comparison to previous year’s single and two day events.
There have been a couple of stories in the metal media about how hard it is for metal musicians to make a living from their music. I’m talking intentionally touring bands at that. Making no money and being on the dole whilst you’re proficient in metal music should surprise no one, especially the metal “journos”.

It’s this time of year when the Soundwave rumour mill slowly begins to circulate; whispers and guesses which then ripple through the music community and music blogs.
