Organizers have issued the following update:

"We are thrilled to bring you the 2nd and final Soundwave 2011 artist announcement.

Joining IRON MAIDEN and QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE as our headliners is ONE DAY AS A LION, the explosive collaboration between RAGE AGAINS THE MACHINE frontman Zack de la Rocha and former MARS VOLTA drummer Jon Theodore. Their set at the Fuji Festival this year was the undisputed highlight of the festival and we are proud to have secured not 1, but 5 rare appearances by this artist.

Rounding out our new arrivals are triumphant recent visitors BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE and BRING ME THE HORIZON; horror punk killers MURDERDOLLS; legendary metal monster DIMMU BORGIR - making their Australian debut; punk rock gods MILLENCOLIN presenting their seminal album Pennybridge Pioneers (and more); prog rock’s finest flag fliers COHEED & CAMBRIA; and a band whose amazing live shows needs little introduction to Australian audiences, THE AMITY AFFLICTION.

Add to that FEEDER, H2O, THE ROCKET SUMMER, SAXON, SILVERSTEIN, FUCKED UP and WE THE KINGS and you have an announcement worthy of being its own festival!"
