I recently took a trip to Australia, I visited Cairns and then stayed in Melbourne for a few weeks. While I was in Melbourne I hit up Soundwave Festival. Soundwave is sorta like Australia’s version of The Van’s Warped Tour. I say sorta because it is the same concept- a traveling festival that covers the whole Country. The difference is that Soundwave is only five stops total, and at each stop there are way more people than Warped. Melbourne capped 55k I believe, it sold out. I’ll post my travel pictures, and behind the scenes gopro video of this live shoot soon. But for now, here are the final images.
These were all taken on March 2nd, 2012.
