Since February isn’t going to be here anytime soon, you could amuse yourself by counting how many of the above bands have played “Ozzfest“. Actually looking at the list you could probably just eliminate the rest by picking the ones that played “Warped Tour“. Way to cheat, you dick.

fuck yea best line up yet
I never thought i’d live to see the day when Limp Bizkit headlines with fuckin Marilyn Manson, Slipknot and Lamb of God.
well if you were alive in 1998 it happened at ozzfest (minus manson, but add system of a down)
I hope manson makes fun of hole like he did 12 years ago lol..but this is quite an interesting line up…Coal Chamber better play some USA shows fuckers!
why is Meshuggah on this festival and, more importantly, why is their name next to limp biz kit
There’s a lot of incredible bands on this list, but really? Angels & Airwaves? Versa Emerge? Black Veil Brides? Relient K? These seem really out of place…
Are you kidding me, Limp Bizkit, Manson and Hole seem out of place. VersaEmerge, and Relient K are ten times better bands than the previous mentioned trash.
so many of my favorite bands i have been dying to see!!! why aren’t you guys coming to the states!!!
this lineup is monumental… most of my all time favorites on this shit…Surly, you fucker!!! You better fuckin goooooooooooo!!! Godamn… Now im fuckin pissed… haha
Didn’t expect to see some of these groups ever headlining/playing shows ever again. Pretty cool. Too bad it’s on the other side of the fucking world.
This festival spans an assload of genres. I can accurately say that I do not like at least 50% of these bands. But would I like to attend this show?…You bet your shitty asshairs, I would!
I’m a llittle concerned about the potential for injuries sustained by mass bottle-chucking though… *cough* Dashboard Confessional*cough*Jack’s Mannequin*cough*Black Veil Brides*cough*
There’s at least one band on this list that you like (or at least liked, at one point). Otherwise, why would you be at the prp?
I count 13 bands I would love to see. That is all. Wish I lived in Australia, only for the duration of this festival…
To clarify… System of a Down, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Machine Head, Lamb of God, Trivium, Alter Bridge, Coal Chamber, Black Label Society, Meshuggah, Hatebreed, Times of Grace and Chimaira.
Wow. What a total A.D.D. shit show this is…I WOULD totally attend if this was in the states.
letlive, system of a down, kvelertak, circa survive are worth this alone.
I still attribute you, in terms of getting me into Letlive. A band I know regard fondly. This is a pretty stellar line-up, mostly.
I was at soundwave the year Alice In Chains headlined with NIN and they really do have a much better set up then the Big Day Out. I have no idea why Soundgarden are doing that shit with fucking Kayne West and the like instead of this. Looking foward to another day of $8 fucking mid strength bourbans.
I still think the first Soundwave in ’07 was the best. It was majority just punk, hardcore, post-hardcore and metalcore bands. Deftones headlined. Thrice pulled off an excellent set, whilst having to deal with shitty sound and The Bronx d-estroyed. Memories.
Indeed that was a good show. Not sure if you were at the Sydney show but I was very unprepared for the rain and cold that day. Every market stall had sold out of jumpers and I was left huddled under a shrub like a drowned cat when bands weren’t playing. Deftones made it worthwhile though.
Oui, I was indeed at the Sydney show. I came prepared with a crappy plastic poncho, which kind of did the trick. But there was now way of escaping the constant drizzle.

Re. the Deftones – it was an interesting set, since they were essentially touring off the back of SNW being released, so we heard a lot of track from that record you would never hear now. It was a very dense set. Chino was a far cry, physically, from where he is nowadays. They did pull out some classic from Adrenaline which was cool. Incidentally seeing them in January @ the Roundhouse blew my pants off.

Another interesting POI – that was the last festival tour Eighteen Visions did. You could see them falling apart in front of your very eyes. Still, it was cool to at least see ‘Tower of Snakes’ performed live.
That roundhouse show blew me away too, not only because it was the return of ‘Skinny Chino’ , but the fact that they started off with about 4 tracks striaght from Adrenalin was absolutely superb.
Contrast to that I also saw team sleep at the same venue a while back. There was only a very small crowd . I can still remember Chino rapping the song from ‘Revenge of the nerds’ over the top of a track. It was tops.
This lineup makes up for the years I wished I could get myself to an Ozzfest show back in the early 00′s. Even though it has taken the good part of a decade, it will be worth the wait. The closest concert I could compare to this is the year Soulfly, Korn and Marilyn Manson played on the same bill at the Big Day Out.
5 bands I’d Like to see: Circa, Mastodon, letlive, SOAD and UØ!
I would pay numerous monies to see this in the States
SOAD <3
