The 2015 Soundwave Festival is not letting fans off the tantalisation hook yet.
As today's second announcement of new acts added to the bill was revealed — led by the likes of Animals As Leaders, Evergreen Terrace, He Is Legend and hard-hitting supergroup Killer Be Killed, featuring members of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Sepultura/Soulfly, Mastodon and The Mars Volta — the anticipation among fans was only partially eased after festival promoter AJ Maddah promised yet another line-up reveal later in the month.
Folks, we're preparing a little announcement w a few bands for you. There will be a 3rd artist announcement + timetables before Christmas

The new inclusions on the bill also include resilient punks Bayside, fan favourites The Devil Wears Prada, the delightfully overblown Dragonforce, veteran stage-ragers Fucked Up, fancy-sounding Mexicans Le Butcherettes, British post-hardcore outfit Lower Than Atlantis, American nu-metallers Nonpoint, Japanese heroes One OK Rock, Florida-bred metalcore troupe Sleepwave, Scottish alt-rockers Twin Atlantic, and the previously unofficially welcomed The Wonder Years.
That crop of excellence join an existing epic line-up headed by acts such as Slipknot, Slash, Marilyn Manson, Fall Out Boy, Judas Priest, Godsmack, and every other titan of the realm of hard, fast, emotive, explosive, deep, dark, heavy, driven, and/or just plain rockin' tunes. And if all those names have you frothing, you're gonna love the third announcement, at least according to Maddah.
.@JBonkowski21 3rd announce bands will be slightly bigger as we need media not to be hung over after Arias.
