Australia’s New Year’s Eve staple Falls Festival has gone ahead and lit up the interwebz with the release of their official 2015/2016 lineup. Returning once again to its longtime homes Marion Bay, Lorne and Byron Bay, attendees can expect to see international drawcards like Bloc Party, Disclosure, Young Fathers, The Maccabees and Foals. There’s also a strong Aussie showing, with local favourites like Gang Of Youths, RÜFÜS, Alpine, Birds Of Tokyo and Seth Sentry all popping up on the bill.
Organisers have also announced stellar plans for opening party Boogie Nights; this year, the wacky classic ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic will lead proceedings, assisted by Art Vs Science, Fleetmac Wood and El Vez (“the Mexican Elvis”).
The ticket ballot for all three locations has officially opened to the public, with registrations closing Friday August 14th. For those who miss out on a spot in the ballot, there will be a general sale on Wednesday August 26th from 9am, so it’s time to round up your squad and start pulling together those NYE plans!
