Seminal American rock legends Soundgarden have been added to the Hard Rock Calling bill for 2012.

One of the founding bands of the infamous Seattle grunge scene of the 90s, Soundgarden reunited last year following a 14-year hiatus, and are set to release a brand new album later in the year.

Godfathers of punk, Iggy & The Stooges, will be bringing their high energy live show. The band are one of the most influential groups of the past 50 years, with the 1973 critically-acclaimed album Raw Power being cited by Kurt Cobain amongst many others as one of their top albums of all time.

Multi-million selling Cold Chisel have also been confirmed, playing their tough breed of seventies style rock and blues. Their new album No Plans was released earlier this year.

Progressive rockers The Mars Volta will be headlining the second stage. Known for such landmark releases as the gold-certified 'De-Loused In The Comatorium' and 'Frances The Mute', and 2008's 'The Bedlam In Goliath' which featured Best Hard Rock Performance Grammy winner "Wax Simulacra," The Mars Volta (Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Juan Alderete de la Pena, Marcel Rodriguez Lopez, and Deantoni Parks) have just released their sixth studio album, Noctourniquet, and are due to start their European tour early June.
