The Soundwave 2015 third lineup announcement has finally arrived and if we were any more excited, we might actually explode. As if it wasn’t huge enough already, next year’s lineup now boasts the likes of The Smashing Pumpkins, Steel Panther, Millencolin, Falling In Reverse, Exodus, King Parrot, and more.
While it’s faced several delays — met, we’re certain, by much sleeplessness and nail-biting from eager punters, who’ve been waiting for the much talked-about third lineup announcement since festival founder AJ Maddah first announced it back in August — the final piece of the Soundwave 2015 puzzle has arrived and it’s undeniably mega.

While these bands were originally slated to be announced as part of a highly anticipated second lineup announcement, last month, Maddah took to Twitter to share some “good news, bad news and mediocre news”, explaining his decision to add three more bands to the lineup, effectively delaying the announcement another week.
Instead of a splendrous second lineup announcement, Maddah made a supplementary announcement featuring just “a few bands” from the approximately 14 acts left over from the first announcement, while the third, he promised, would drop “before Christmas” and boy has he delivered. Readers can check out the full SW15 lineup below.
