Fabulous Friday: Make the most out of your Falls Festival by coming one day early for Fabulous Friday. There’ll be films, there’ll be The Village, there’ll be friends, there’ll be fun and in Lorne there’ll even be a band or six…..! Full entertainment details available at
www.fallsfestival.com. Fabulous Friday tickets for Vic and Tas are on sale now through Ticketek, www.fallsfestival.com and through selected independent outlets in Tasmania (listed on the festival website). Ticket capacity for Friday night is limited for both venues and may sell out before the event. Pre-purchase is recommended as tickets are selling fast and gate sales cannot be guaranteed. You cannot enter the festival with just a Friday 29th ticket – Fri 29th tickets are not valid unless accompanied by a full festival ticket. Do not purchase a Friday ticket unless you already have a full festival ticket. Friday 29th tickets are Tas $20 +bf and Vic $55 +bf.
