At 24 years young, Falls Festival continues to be a staple event for some of the biggest names in electronic, indie, hip-hop and beyond. Spanning three major locations along the East Coast, with a fourth premiering in Fremantle, WA early next year, the festival has well and truly solidified its status as one of the go-to summer events.
Freshly added to the 2016-2017 edition includes Northeast Party House, You Am I, Hockey Dad, Moonbase Commander, Hein Cooper, Spit Syndicate, Olympia among others. This second announcement builds on an already blazing lineup that will see Childish Gambino, London Grammar, The Avalanches, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Ta-ku and a bunch of other amazing artists ring in 2017 across Australia.
