The Odds
Maddah’s keen, the band has a new album and frontman Tim McIlrath has said they’re keen to come back to Australia. We like those odds!
The Rumour
Rival Sons
The Reason
@Stevegdd @rivalsons Will invite them to #SW15
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) March 10, 2014The Odds
They’ve got a new record out and Maddah is stoked on their live show
The Rumour
Chevelle
The Reason
@conallin Yep. I do like them quite a bit!
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) March 6, 2014The Odds
The Chicago alternative rockers released their seventh record this year and have been doing some extensive touring in support.
The Rumour
Electric Six
The Reason
@gearsofSuzie @electric6 All over it!
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) March 6, 2014The Odds
The electric Michigan act has been working on a new record since late last year.
The Rumour
Papa Roach
The Reason
@brittlefx @paparoach For sure.
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) March 7, 2014The Odds
The band’s new record, F.E.A.R. is due out early next year and they’re often touring abroad.
The Rumour
Halestorm
The Reason
@Beckettinga We'll 100% invite them. Up to them after that.
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) March 7, 2014
@emsuxx_ Yep. Invited already.
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) May 9, 2014The Odds
The ball’s in their court, but they’re due for a return, so it seems likely
The Rumour
Babymetal
The Reason
@aryastarkers I already am!
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) March 14, 2014The Odds
Metal vocal and dance group Babymetal would be an interesting addition to the list, but they’re in the midst of touring their debut record, so it would make since.
The Rumour
Bullet For My Valentine
The Reason
@MattL255 We're talking :)
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) March 18, 2014The Odds
They’re no stranger to the SW stage, but AJ didn’t confirm whether he was in talk in regards to the festival or a headline tour.
The Rumour
The Lawrence Arms
The Reason
@grantdobson @TheLawrenceArms would be happy to
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) April 9, 2014The Odds
They’ve got a new album out and did well at SW 2013
The Rumour
King Parrot
The Reason
@Incubus2014 very likely I reckon
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) April 10, 2014The Odds
Maddah’s been adding more and more Aussie acts to the bill each year, and King Parrot fit the festival perfectly.
The Rumour
Bloodhound Gang
The Reason
@GiraffeRawr YES! I should! I'm totally on this right now...
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) May 11, 2014The Odds
They were favourites at Soundwave 2009 and are due for a return.
The Rumour
Conditions
The Reason
@caseeydee they said they would. Hopefully they are still into it
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) May 12, 2014The Odds
They’re doing a run of farewell shows and have told Maddah they were keen.
The Rumour
All That Remains
The Reason
@nick_redhead Yep. Highly possible
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) May 12, 2014The Odds
“Highly possible” sounds good to us!
The Rumour
Midtown
The Reason
@stayunspoiled @iamnotshouting @midtown @DriveThruRecs all over it
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) May 14, 2014The Odds
No new music, but fans have been awaiting a tour from the iconic New Jersey pop punkers for a while.
The Rumour
Make Them Suffer
The Reason
@jamieafterlife @mtstweets yeah. Good chance
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) May 15, 2014The Odds
As mentioned already, Maddah’s been sharing the local love in recent years, so there’s a “good chance” the Perth metallers could end up on the bill.
The Rumour
Young Lions
The Reason
@lexamoremusic @YoungLionsAus I like them a lot. Quite possible
— AJ (@iamnotshouting) July 31, 2014The Odds
Another local with the right hype and momentum to land them a place on the bill.
