Falls Festival

i’ve opted for falls festival (regrettably) this year but the tickets for nye only JUST sold out. in past years the tickets went like ice cream on a 40 degree day and the lineup is pretty good (in my opinion). i cant tell if btv has just got better, but i didnt realise how many people knew of it or wanted to go for “so many years” apparently. im realising my music taste probably is more catered towards btv and i was sucked in by friends to go to falls; but im worried there will be literally no one there. what’s happened to what was once the epitome of new years festivals? they wont even agree to secure a location? something tells me it may not be in victoria again and may become a byron (potentially perth/fremantle) specific festival.

edit: also big ups to triple j for trying their absolute hardest to revive falls because i literally have heard them give away that many tickets and go that crazy about it. they do make it sound good for something decaying beneath them

Seems the team is “taking a break” for the year to reimagine the experience in an email that’s just been sent around.

Hopefully it can come back stronger or something else slots in its place :/

The Falls Festival set times have just been released. Is it just me or are there a lot less artists performing this year compared to previous Falls?

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening and good night! Very late night thread for me, but in approx. 10 hours, the boys will take up the stage for the last time in 2022, and… the first time in 2023! Do us proud, Australia. Should be a good time for all involved and happy new year to all who are reading.

Im late, again. In my defence, it was new years day and I went to bed early. Either way, here we are at the (second) last Falls Festival, before the boys play some individual shows in Australia, before they begin Asia for the first time in a long time. Enjoy!

After the splendour clustermess, I'm second guessing doing the Byron leg of Falls Festival.

Does anyone have any insight about:

• Byron weather over the dec/jan period?

• Can the victorian venue (Pennyroyal plains) handle rain without flooding?
