Music Festivals


Music surrounds us! Everyone has a preference on what genre or style of music they enjoy listening to and specific genres are held in big music festivals, for example Groovin the moo aims at a range of genres including alternative, indie, hip hop and techno. Other festivals are mainly aimed at one or two genres such as Future Music festival aims for techno, dance style while Soundwave looks for metal, screamo, alternative genres.

Soundwave is metal music festival that attends Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and sometimes Perth. This year Soundwave celebrated their 10th anniversary and gave the audience the opportunity to see some most well-known musicians in the world such as Metallica, Linkin Park, Blink 182, Paramore, The offspring and many many more.

Soundwave is Australia’s most popular music festival for this certain genre and is mainly held within February and March every year and holds around hundreds and thousands of people. The festival opens at 10-11am and finishes around 10pm.

Australia should have more of these festivals because it is great for our economy, people from other countries are attending these festivals and if we created more, there is no doubt that more people would attend these festivals and this would result in more money for the cities that they are held in.
