If you’re looking for something to heat up your Summer, look no further than the 2013 Soundwave Festival!

After months of speculation, and an early confirmation of Blink 182, the line-up for the Australian rock festival was finally announced this morning.

Among those announced were metal gods Metallica, who sold out their New Zealand and Australia tour back in 2010.

Joining them will be Linkin Park, the reunited pop-punk icons Blink 182, the Offspring, Paramore, Duff McKagan’s Loaded, Sum 41, A Perfect Circle, Anthrax, Garbage, Fozzy, Stone Sour and many more.

While it may be too early to think about Sidewave shows, how amazing would it be to see Blink 182 visit our shores one more time?!

Previous headliners have included Slipknot, Iron Maiden, Marilyn Manson and System of a Down.

Tickets are around NZ$241 and go on sale Thursday August 23 at 11am New Zealand time from www.soundwavefestival.com.
