A gaping Hole in Soundwave line-up

Courtney Love's band Hole have pulled out of the coming Soundwave festival, citing an issue with headliners Limp Bizkit.

When the line-up for the festival, which rolls around to Claremont Showground on March 5, was officially announced, Hole were listed on the bill below System of a Down, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit and Marilyn Manson.

Love has a longstanding feud with Limp Bizkit and the band's frontman Fred Durst, once saying they were responsible for "the worst years in rock history".

When Soundwave promoter A.J. Maddah took to his Twitter account to address rumours Hole were pulling the plug, Love, pictured, confirmed the news, blaming the continuing tiff.
