The organizers of Rockaway, Livescape Asia today announced its line-up for its
fourth edition that has been expanded to cover two dates – September 28 and October 17 – and will
be held at the iconic KL Live on Jalan Sultan Ismail.
“We are very happy to announce these two Rockaway showcases. For a long time we have been
speaking to our fans and asking them who they wanted to see and Lamb of God and Bring Me
The Horizon have always come up on top and now, for the first time, the fans can see them live in
Malaysia. We look forward to seeing the fans rock-out at both shows and I urge them to purchase
their tickets early as we are expecting a sold-out show”, said Rahul Kukreja, Director of Livescape
Asia.
Rockaway this year is expected to attract crowds of almost 5,000 per show.
The first showcase on September 28 will see Grammy nominee and legendary American heavy metal
band Lamb of God take the stage. Having just released their new album ‘Resolution’, the band is widely considered to be the spearhead of what heavy metal fans call ‘the New Wave of American
Heavy Metal’. Supporting Lamb of God on September 28 are local rockers Deja Voodoo Spells and Tempered Mental.
On October 17, fans can expect to rock-out with British metalcore band, Bring Me The Horizon. With
the band set to perform tunes from its latest album, ‘Sempiternal’ which was produced by Terry
Date (Linkin Park, Deftones), fans can expect to be blown away by soaring vocals, supercharged
melodies, and spine-tingling metal anthems. Also on the line-up for the second showcase will be
Brit post hardcore band, Enter Shikari who are best known for creating a particularly unique sound
by combining post-hardcore and various heavy metal sub-genres such as metalcore and alternative
metal with elements of various electronic genres. In addition, the show on October 17 will also be
supported by Japanese metalcore band, Crossfaith and Malaysian rockers, Massacre Conspiracy.
