Following the news of Soundwave Revolution falling apart yesterday afternoon, Triple M can exclusively reveal that the second headliner Soundwave Revolution were chasing was Aerosmith.
Nui Te Koha broke the news on Triple M Melbourne's Hot Breakfast this morning and went on to reveal that poor ticket sales were ultimately to blame for the festival cancellation.
"The organisers were saying they were waiting for a number 2 headliner, but the fact of the matter was ticket sales were lagging," he said.
Also, it's been confirmed that No.1 headliner, Van Halen will now not be touring Australia either.
"There is no tour," Nui said. "The word from the band overnight to me is that there are no plans to tour Australia. So no Van Halen."
That's not great news, but the organisers have promised sideshows involving some off the other Soundwave acts, which they'll be announcing over the next seven days.
Meanwhile, if you bought tickets and want your money back, all tickets purchased online will be refunded automatically as soon as it can be processed. If you purchased from an outlet, refunds will be available next week from point of purchase.
