Soundwave Festival first announcement for 2014 revealed!

He might have been saying that the lineup wouldn’t be as “big” as the Metallica helmed 2013 event, but AJ has still delivered an incredible first announcement for the 2014 Soundwave Festival, with Green Day, Avenged Sevenfold, Stone Temple Pilots, Placebo and past Soundwave favourites Alice in Chains and Rob Zombie sitting at the top of the lineup.
