The cancellation of Soundwave Revolution has been confirmed by radio station Nova 969.
The station spoke to festival promoter AJ Maddah, who confirmed that the reason behind the cancellation of the festival was made after the second headliner pulled out and they didn't want to put an "inferior product" on the market.
Maddah said “We could have taken the option of linking through with the line-up as we have now – it would have obviously still been a much better financial outcome for us than to go through the road we have – but we just didn’t want to put an inferior product on the market.”
Rumours began when the second lineup announcement was postponed and then cancelled at the beginning of last week and continued today when Steel Panther drummer Stix Zadinia tweeted the news earlier today.
In a series of tweets, that have since been deleted, Stix announced the cancelation saying:
"Soundwave revolution is cancelled. I am bummed."
“Just got word from our management that the whole festival is cancelled. I hope I’m wrong but I was told it’s official. Anyone hear same?"
"Maybe we'll still come out and rock anyway! I'm hoping it can get worked out. We wanna rock u guys in Oz"
He also responed to accusations that his announcement is a hoax by tweeting "Ok everyone. I'm just reporting what I was told. U don't have 2 believe me. Better yet, don't believe me and wait for an "official" anncmnt"
Soundwave Revolution organisers are expected to release a full statement soon.
