See how much Gerard Way, Fall Out Boy, Smashing Pumpkins + more are paid for a festival

Ever wondered how much it costs to hire the world's biggest rock bands to play your festival? Well, now we have more of a clue, as it emerges that Soundwave Festival owe the likes of Slipknot, Soundgarden and Smashing Pumpkins millions - with details of how much each band costs.

This year's Soundwave in Australia was cancelled due to 'poor ticket sales' - after a run of disastrous organisational mishaps, such as it looking like the venues had not even been booked.

Soundwave’s operating company, Soundwave Festival Pty Ltd, entered voluntary administration in September 2015 - before founder Arash ‘AJ’ Maddah vowed to continue the event under a different company name.

Now, in documents obtained from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) from a meeting of Soundwave creditors last year, and shared by Metal Injection, leak the outstanding debts of Soundwave - and how much each act was due to be paid.
