August 22, 2017

Falls Festival is celebrating a quarter century in the game, and the 25th birthday party will be hitting four Australian locations during the 2017/2018 transition.

Appropriately, they’ve scouted some of the best to soundtrack the multi-day festival in Lorne, Marion Bay, Byron Bay and Fremantle: Flume will be returning Down Under, as will his touring partner and ‘Smoke & Retribution’ collaborator Vince Staples. In an interview with Triple J this morning, Flume also promised plenty of new material for his homecoming shows this December and January. Rap veterans Run The Jewels will be bringing their eccentric flavour to Falls, while other internationals include Foster The People, D.R.A.M and ex-Oasis legend Liam Gallagher, as confirmed in his GQ interview yesterday.

Fresh from playing one of Splendour In The Grass’ most talked about sets, Confidence Man will be appearing alongside fellow SITG 2017 alumni Peking Duk, Thundamentals, Cosmo’s Midnight, Allday and more. Throw in a set from homegrown producer Anna Lunoe, and this is looking like a very nice time. Oh, and did we mention that Daryl Braithwaite is going to be there?! Prepare to belt out ‘Horses’ very obnoxiously.

There’s still stacks of acts to be announced, but in the meantime, wrap your eyeballs around the full announcement, dates, venues and ticketing details below. Which edition of Falls will you be attending? See you there:
