Falls Festival gives music junkies another hit

j-mascis-not-enough


Falls Festival has long been renowned for its stella lineups, crazy camp sites, insane weather, teen pregnancies and a blurry start to the new year.

Sitting in the car in the line out of Falls each year with a mind bending hangover and feeling like you and all your mates have just completed Lorne’s version of the Tour de France where all the water bottles have been replaced with straight spirits, 6 for $20 beers and red bull, you always hear the famous line of “That’s my last time… I’m not coming to falls again…..”. YET, every year we all seem to find ourselves back in Torquay stashing our booze in cars, buying doritto’s,  and heading to Falls.

The festival itself has changed dramatically over the last 10 years, the days of buying a ticket the day before for $70, setting up your camp as big as you want, taking as much booze into the stages as you and your mates can carry, and not seeing a fluro singlet or body builders without shirts on in every direction are long gone. However One thing has remained constant, the line up is ALWAYS killer.

This year Falls have taken a new approach to feleasing the lineup with a number of bands already announced.  Falls have now just added to this teaser of a lineup to get everyones Falls excitement cranking.

Newly release bands:

Dinosaur Jr front-man J Mascis, Crystal Castles, Papa Vs Pretty, Josh Pyke, The Wonderful World of DJ Yoda and Unknown Mortal Orchestra.

    haha – I rely on Pizza shapes for my greens for the three days of the festival. Pretty easy way to spend a killer new years though. No crappy house parties with random high school friends that almost always turn up. I’ll be desperately trying to get a ticket this year with the line-up they’ve announced so far. J Mascis! Yeeeooow!
