The Falls Music & Arts Festivals line-up announced

The 2016/17 Falls Music & Arts Festival line-up has landed! Positive times (+x) will be migrating across state borders this summer to four unique locations – Lorne VIC, Marion Bay TAS, Byron Bay NSW and for the very first time, Fremantle WA! From stunning natural settings and rolling green amphitheaters to inner city streets and abandoned buildings, Falls will be taking over four corners of Australia and transforming each of the spaces into immersive carousels of music, dance, light and art.
 
As Falls enters its 24th annual event, we have everything pretty down-pat! A rich history of amazing live music · world class production · thoughtful and modern camping facilities · makers’ markets · visual arts performances · creative installations · daily beach access · pop-up bars and beer gardens · food trucks and restaurants · holistic and wellbeing services · local traders · community involvement · interactive games and activities · all with experienced staff and volunteers to help make your time great.  
 
Sing for your supper and be the first ticket holder in town! Score a VIP pass for you and 3 friends by downloading the official Falls Festival app and taking part in #fallskaraoke! Get creative and belt out your favourite bangers from the 2016/17 line-up by choosing a song, pressing record, adding some stickers and uploading to Instagram with the hashtag #fallskaraoke. Make sure you tag @fallsfestival and the three pals you’ll take along if you win!

Makes me feel old, only half a dozen names os so i recognise and not really any bands id even really want to see, maybe Grandmaster flash for "the Message" and Violent soho are a decent band.
