Soundwave 2015 expands to weekend festival
Soundwave promoter AJ Maddah has announced the popular annual festival will expand in 2015, with each city hosting a two-day event. The dates take in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide, with the two latter cities beginning the festival run. As Maddah explains (see tweets below), the bill will be split with half playing on the first day in one city before changing over with the second half in the opposing city. Single day tickets will be made available in addition to a weekend pass. The decision allows greater flexibility with timetable scheduling and equally allows for longer sets.

— AJ (@iamnotshouting) June 28, 2014So half the bands play day 1. The other half play day 2. They criss-cross Saturday/Sunday in each city. #SW15
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) June 28, 2014Adelaide & Melbourne will be the 1st weekend of the festival. The dates for these 2 cities are Saturday 21 and Sunday 22. #SW15
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) June 28, 2014Sydney and Brisbane will be the 2nd weekend of the festival; held over Saturday 28 and Sunday March 1. #SW15
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) June 28, 2014The ticket price for the 2 days will be the same as last year. $185 booking fees. These will be limited in number. #SW15
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) June 28, 2014There will also be a number of day tickets available at $120 booking fees. #SW15
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) June 28, 2014I am hoping that offering day tickets will make festival experience available to those who may not be able to afford weekend tickets. #SW15
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) June 28, 2014Putting the line-up across 2 days enables us to minimise clashes; give bands longer sets, better staging, production & infrastructure #SW15
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) June 28, 2014I am also hoping that this will give fans better value for money and a less stressful day. #SW15
