Falls Festival

Ring in 2023 with Falls Festival, returning this year for the first time since the 2020 event was cancelled.

There will be three main stages featuring previous festival favourites and some first-timers on the line-up.

Amerian rapper Lil Nas X’s wish on Twitter has come true: OG Wiggles Anthony, Murray, Jeff and Greg are performing at all three shows, with cameos from costumed favourites like Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog and Henry the Octopus.

English rock band Arctic Monkeys are heading Down Under fresh from headlining Reading and Leeds music festivals in Europe, and South Korean hitmaker Peggy Gou will also take to the stage. Fresh from the high of his massive Coachella set, producer Jamie xx will be there too, as will Scottish pop group Chvrches and Caroline rapper Amine. Also coming down is English production duo CamelPhat, singer-songwriter PinkPantheress, DJ Seinfeld and more.

While the international line-up is huge, local acts are also putting their best foot forward. Alt-psychedelic rock band Ocean Alley, indie rock four-piece Spacey Jane, Melbourne muso G Flip, pub rock group Amyl and the Sniffers, Aussie house producer Mall Grab, rapper Genesis Owusu, party starter CC:DISCO and more are all taking the stage.
