I don’t know about you guys, but the devastation I felt when I found out Robyn wouldn’t be coming to Falls Festival this year was probably on a level of what some would call ridiculous. There I was, thinking I couldn’t feel any sadder than I already did, and finding solace in the fact that at least Royksopp would still be there, when tragedy struck again. They were out as well. What THE HELL WAS I MEANT TO DO NOW?!
Thankfully, the folks at Falls Festival understood. They heard mine and many others’ heartbroken pleas to do something to fill the void that was left from this unfortunate incident. No one should go through the pain we did when these announcements came. They somehow rallied the festival gods to pull out not one, but TWO acts to fill the gap. These two acts are….
LA ROUX:
AND
EMPIRE OF THE SUN:
