Did anybody around Australia attend Soundwave Festival? The South Australian one was Saturday 5th, and damn, it was epic. My first festival and live concert, and was well worth the killer sunburn I got(there's this thing called sunscreen or something?? :P)

The 2 hour Iron Maiden set was, put simply, incredible. One Day As a Lion was crazy, Zach de la Rocha was jumping around the stage like a mad man, and was definitely a good show. Had to leave Slayer halfway through though, just as Raining Blood started However, was happy with the decision. All That Remains was awesome too, and even Less than Jake who I'd never heard any music from was a great chill start to the day. Primus was funky, and the 50 minutes set they played left me weirded out to an extent.

This years line-up was epic, but if the last few years is anything to go by, somehow next years will be even better. Can't wait til the announcement for 2012 and will be eager to go if there's some bands I'd enjoy watching.
