Couldn’t wait for the summer of the Warped Tour to fall in love with the girl from the rock show? We couldn’t either! Thankfully after a 10+ year hiatus its back gracing our shores with a tasty line up of pop punk and metal and some skatey types. With only 3 stages and longer sets it was a nice change from catching only 10-15min of your fave act then spending the rest of the time running between stages or queuing for toilets and drinks! Even better that the weather held off.

New Found Glory - Soundwave 2011
So what do you do when you have your first festival off from shooting in years? You run amok with your friends that’s what!
It took a little getting used to, not lugging my gear around and not having to be somewhere 10 minutes ago, but a quick jump around to Millencolin and Sum 41 settles things down for me to camp out pretty much all day at stage 3 for a plethora of punk and ska.
Highlights of that stage were New Found Glory (complete with their own team apparel), Pennywise and Less than Jake. Unfortunately, due to those inconsiderate bastards Social Distortion, deciding to overrun their mid afternoon set by 15min meant all subsequent acts were cut short to meet the 10pm curfew. Not too bad if they had hour long sets but they were all already at a very “punk” 40 minutes.
Even though it was my day off, I still managed a couple happy days through out the day. Check out the Soundwave Festival 2011 Brisbane photos here
