For those who like to rock… Trent Reznor and his band of merry men have been announced for next year’s Soundwave Festival, which will tour the country in February and early March. Nine Inch Nails have undergone something of a renaissance in recent times, Reznor breathing new life into the band having been liberated from the constraints of his major record label record deal.

Not a festival for the faint at heart, Soundwave serves up some of the biggest names in metal, punk and rock. The 2009 line-up is undoubtedly its biggest on record, and alongside headliners Nine Inch Nails you’ll be able to catch reformed grunge icons Alice In Chains, the always cheeky Bloodhound Gang, System Of A Down side-project Scars On Broadway and many more.
