Soundwave Festival

Soundwave Festival

There are Soundwave Festivals in the UK and Australia each year.

UK Soundwave Festival

Soundwave Festival, held every year at the Scarborough Spa Ocean Room, Scarborough, UK, is a music and arts festival created by the DIY (Determined Independent Youths) Collective, a group of young people from around the Scarborough area. It was first held in 1999, and has been held every year since at the same venue. Local musical talent is showcased, and art and craft workshops are held throughout the day of the event. Previous headliners include The Dead Pets and AntiProduct. The 2006 event was headlined by UK punk band The Dead IDentities. The 2007 festival will take place in the first half term of the new school year it has been postponed until them instead of August the 13th 2007, the day after the conclusion of the Beached Festival,(N.B The two events are separate.)As D.I.Y Collective have not met there funding target!

The main idea behind the festival is to showcase local talent, as well as provide free music for the young people of Scarborough. Henceforth, there is no entry fee. Most finance comes from fundraising events, and sponsorship grants.

There is also a similar winter festival, slightly lower key, that goes by the name of 'Snow wave', which is used primarily as a fundraiser for SoundWave. The 2007 event was cut short due to a fire alarm, but was still well received by the public, despite concerns over fire safety at the venue.

Australian Soundwave Festival

Soundwave 2007 is by far the biggest Soundwave held so far headlined by +44, Hatebreed, Deftones, MxPx, Suicidal Tendencies, Unwritten Law, Behind Crimson Eyes, Parkway Drive and more.
