I am so pissed that Shinedown arent doing any side shows - only playing at Soundwave. Its at a bad venue (a football oval) has 20+ other artists (emo crap) and is $155. Meaning that if i went id wait around all day for the best band and would probably only hear 4 or 5 songs.

Cmon guys - do some side shows, your singles are getting plenty of air play on radio here - im sure youll get sold out gigs.

Trust me they will play a whole set, and they wont just fly to Australia and play 1 show, trust me.
There will be shows.

what's wrong with a football oval?

You dont know perth very well... most remote capital city in the world... the organisers will make it only at the festival

Well I don't know Perth but I do know that Shinedown would play a full set of songs. They would get at least 45 minutes on stage, if not a little bit longer. So don't fret Be thankful their coming to Australia at all. I jumped over the moon when I heard they were coming to Australia, been waiting for 5 years to see them live. Shinedown are on a pretty tight touring schedule, wanting to do South America, Africa, IRAQ and Japan (oh and Hawaii), they would definitely come back another time just not straight after Soundwave.
