VAN HALEN "DID NOT" Pull Out Of Soundwave Revolution
August 10, 2011, 13 years ago
According to the VAN HALEN News Desk, when it was announced that the Soundwave Revolution festival in Australia was cancelled yesterday, some fans were quick to blame Van Halen, assuming that they must have pulled out of the festival. The truth is, Van Halen DID NOT pull out of Soundwave Revolution, and had nothing to do with the festival being cancelled.
The promoter had been planning on securing one or two additional headliners, which he was unable to do. Triple M in Australia revealed today that AEROSMITH was the unannounced second headliner that pulled out of the festival. Between Aerosmith backing out, and lagging ticket sales, the promoter decided to cancel the festival.
Van Halen have been in the studio with Grammy Award winning producer John Shanks (BON JOVI, FLEETWOOD MAC, STEVIE NICKS) and producer/engineer Ross Hogarth (DIO, MÖTLEY CRÜE, RATT), recording their first album with David Lee Roth in more than 25 years, and their first new music as a band in seven years. The band is rounded off by brothers Eddie and Alex Van Halen and Eddie's son Wolfgang.
