The Soundwave Festival is a music event that is currently seeking sponsorship after a bankruptcy last year. While crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo have been used to make tech and design projects a reality, this rock music event is being advertised with a Pozible campaign.
Soundwave Festival was a popular concert series that profiled punk rock acts but ended due to a lack of funding. An attempted resurrection of the music festival is currently underway with help from sponsors and a Pozible campaign that hopes to result in donations from fans.
While the relaunched event may be more low key than past instalments, its crowdfunding campaign makes the concert series a reality for punk fans who were sad to see it go while cutting organizers' costs in the process.
