The best news we’ve had in a while.

Organisers of Falls Festival have just announced that they will be pushing forward with optimism for their 2020/21 events this year. And, to avoid there being any chance of the festival facing issues with travelling artists from around the world, they’ll be dropping a huge all-Aussie lineup soon.

It’s great news on so many levels, but particularly it’s a beacon of light at the end of this pandemic tunnel and it’s an awesome way to help the Australian music industry get back on its feet.

Over the past couple of months the amount of artists, management, crew, agents, roadies, production etc that have had their income vanish is simply heartbreaking, so organisers have also announced this year’s edition will also raise money for Support Act. Check out the full statement below and start thinking about that lineup…

Dear Falls Fans,

Today we are excited to let you know that we’re working towards Falls Festival Dec 2020 / Jan 2021 and that it will feature a limited edition, all Australian lineup.

As Australia heads towards the recovery phase of COVID-19 we have decided to move forward with optimism, and work towards presenting our Dec 2020 / Jan 2021 event in a way that will best bolster Australia’s live music industry.

We have some of the most exciting acts in the world and this special “home grown” edition of Falls will ensure that money stays in our local economy, providing maximum financial benefit for the Australian music community – artists, management, crew, agents, roadies, production etc – as well as the thousands of contractors and suppliers who rely on our events for their income.

Falls Festival Dec 2020 / Jan 2021 will also raise funds for Support Act which provides essential services to our music industry workers. Support Act has been inundated with requests recently from workers who have been severely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

Health and safety is always our number one priority, so as the recovery process begins and more information becomes available, we will continue working with and taking direction from the health authorities.

But today we’re letting you know that while we’re living in strange times, we’re choosing the bright side. Our team is moving ahead and we hope we’ll be seeing you all in December/January for an all Aussie edition of Falls Festival.

Big love,
Jess and Paul
