The Falls Festival: Aussie bash announces bill

The Falls Music and Arts Festival takes place in Australia across two sites on December 29-January 1, in Lorne (Victoria) and Marion Bay (Tasmania), and has lined up a pretty DiS-decent bill so far.

We'll forgive them The Kooks - when they're not at home, it's better for everyone.

UK residents wanting to get along must register first - there's a 15,000 ticket ballot for places, and you can get involved by clicking to the official festival website.

Tickets sell out fast so if you're interested in making the trip register by August 27.

The line-up for 2008, with more acts to be confirmed, currently looks like this:

**Franz Ferdinand

The Hives

The Kooks

Mystery Jets

The Grates

Jamie Lidell

Eli 'Paperboy' Reed & The True Loves

Gomez

Soko

Architecture In Helsinki

The Dodos

Atmosphere featuring Brother Ali

The Drones

Tegan & Sara

The Cat Empire

Liam Finn

Faker

A-Trak

Wolf & Cub
