So the Soundwave 2013 line-up has been announced.

Today’s announcement has confirmed Metallica, The Offspring on top of the already confirmed appearance of Blink 182 for the growing festival.

Other bands confirmed are Paramore, Sum 41, Stone Sour and Cancer Bats to name a few.

On Twitter earlier this week Maddah boldly announced, “I would be amazed if Bris/Syd/Melb do not sell out instantly… Honestly [I think Sydney will sell out in] under an hour.”

That’s 50,000 tickets in less than 60 minutes!

Tickets for Soundwave 2013 are $187. There is no transaction fee or postage this year, but there’s a transport levy of $2 if you’re heading to the festival in Perth or Sydney which covers your public transport to and from the event.
