Do you hear that? That is the sound of something magical – the sound music fans everywhere losing their freaking minds!
If you missed Splendour, Falls Fest might just save you from a life of regret. And if you didn’t miss Splendour, then I hate you (but I guess you could go to Falls too). You can ditch those disappointing news years parties this year – where you only get a glimpse of some fireworks and make out with all the wrong people at midnight. Taking place over New Years Eve and the January period, Falls will be making its usual rounds around Lorne, Byron Bay, Freemantle, and Marion Bay and will be headlined by none other than Childish Gambino and London Grammar (cue screams).
And here’s the rest of what you can expect to see during the best way to ring in a new year:
