The venue for the Sydney Soundwave has changed to the Sydney Showground at Sydney Olympic Park. Full details below:
Eastern Creek Raceway is blessed by no noise restrictions or curfews, making it a great place to have loud rock music blasting. Having already spent substantial time, effort and treasure to make improvements to the venue – adding major shade structures, plumbing to enable the addition of hundreds of free water taps and coming up with foolproof traffic management regime, Soundwave Festival and the venue operators have jointly decided that we would rather unveil the new Eastern Creek when even more additional improvements and renovations have been completed. We believe that the most important person in our business is not the artist, the venue or the promoter, but the concert?goer who makes everything possible and we would rather not take the chance that we may not offer the perfect conditions. As such this year’s event has been moved to the Sydney Showground, located at Sydney Olympic Park. All tickets are valid for the new location. Soundwave gratefully thanks the operators of the Sydney Showground who have gone above and beyond to make this move happen on short notice.
Avenged Sevenfold have pulled out of Soundwave Festival 2011. Soundwave promoters have had an ongoing battle with the band to find the time slot they wanted, this doesn’t look to be resolved with Soundwave promoters stating yesterday:
Avenged have decided, despite having originally confirmed a mid afternoon spot, that they are now unwilling to play unless it is night time.
At the same time, they are refusing to play at the same time as Maiden. Which leads me to believe they want Maiden’s time moved!
While Avenged are a massive band, having sold around 8,000 copies of their new album Nationally, I wont be able to move Maiden’s time slot.
I have now reached the point where I can no longer mess around 70 other bands and 180,000 ticket holders to appease this band’s nonsense
I have every expectation that they will go back on their agreement and cancel
Avenged Sevenfold have now officially pulled out of Soundwave stating on their official website:
Avenged Sevenfold regretfully announce they will not be performing at the upcoming Soundwave in Australia. After much effort, the band decided that they could not offer fans the live experience they have come to expect and didn’t want to disappoint them. Avenged Sevenfold will return to Australia soon to headline their own tour.
