The final leg of the Counter Revolution Tour was a sunny contrast to the wet weather on the east coast. Almost twenty acts kept the energy and enthusiasm up on two stages in Fowler's Courtyard.
Ok. We all know about the controversy over this event. The cancellation of Soundwave Revolution due to the unnamed second headliner pulling out. Rumours of poor ticket sales and headliner Van Halen also pulling the pin. But in a few short weeks they managed to create this mini punk festival Counter Revolution. And even though it went from over 60 bands to under 20, it's still Soundwave and it'll still be good!
Expanding on their raw, honest intensity of their live sets more than ever, ALESANA are joining the Revolution this September! Energetic and memorable, ALESANA will be performing at SOUNDWAVE REVOLUTION with the already epic line-up of VAN HALEN, ALICE COOPER, BAD RELIGION, PANIC! AT THE DISCO, HOLE and more!

Starting the day on main stage two was Melbourne’s Stealing O’Neal, whose cliché pop punk tunes may have got the tweenies in attendance excited for the day ahead, but not me.
