In a report by Faster Louder, Soundwave Festival 2014 promoter AJ Maddah admitted that the 2014 lineup isn't as impressive as the 2013 lineup.

"We're not going to top it. It was our 10th anniversary, so a 1 off big show," Maddah explained to Faster Louder.

Maddah also confirmed on his Twitter account that acts like King Parrot and Sparks the Rescue will appear at the Soundwave Festival 2014. Meanwhile, the Bennies band confirmed the news of their participation in the music festival on their own Twitter account. Check out their tweets below:
