Just days after unveiling the first name to be officially confirmed for the eagerly anticipated return of Australia’s premier hard rock event, Soundwave 2016, organisers have now announced their second act to be added to the lineup, Dead Letter Circus.

Dead Letter Circus have long been ranked as one of Australia’s most beloved modern rock acts, with an army of fans across Australia. The band is currently waving a bonafide wave of momentum generated by their third full-length album, Aesthesis.

Last week, organisers confirmed that Welsh metal outfit Bullet For My Valentine would be heading Down Under next January to rock audiences, complete with a sterling new album, titled Venom, in tow.

Having experimented with a two-day format for their last instalment, Soundwave Festival 2016 will see Australia’s premier hard rock and heavy metal event return to the single-day format, hitting up venues in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne.

Meanwhile, the rumour mill has been spitting out potential lineup names for months now. Most recently there was talk that Swedish hard rockers Ghost could make the roster after a member revealed they’re planning an Oz tour for early 2016.
