Falls Festival adds a bunch of acts to the Marion Bay lineup

Year in, year out, the Marion Bay leg of the Falls Music & Arts Festival draws thousands of interstate tourists to Australia’s island state. Bolstering tourism for local businesses and showing huge support for the incredible music scene in Tasmania has lead to the festival taking out the Best Festival & Event category at the recent Tasmanian Tourism Awards. Naturally, they’ve added a handful of acts to appear exclusively on the Marion Bay line-up in celebration.

Added to the already hectic lineup of killer local and international acts is the wonderfully talented Josh Pyke, one of the country’s most revered guitarists Ash Grunwald, straight up party-starters Bag Raiders, Tassie locals Tiger Choir, the multi-talented Ben Walsh, Chicada and JB Seed winner Jesse Davidson.

Along with the new additions to the line-up, Falls has partnered up with Music Tasmania to put together the Homebrew Stage. In further celebration of the local music on show at this year’s Falls, the new stage is an initiative to showcase and celebrate Tassie talent for the duration of the festival. An amazing opportunity for Tassie artists, Music Tasmania is currently calling for expressions of interest from musicians and DJs who wish to play at the event to over 12,000 music fans from around the country. You can check out the full lineup below, and stream their Spotify playlist for your aural pleasure as well.
