Celebrate the end of The Noughties in Oz with Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Andrew Bird, Grizzly Bear...
sean by Sean Adams August 12th, 2009

You may or may not remember that our first festival review of 2009 came from Everett True at Falls Festival down-under. Well the folks from that festival have announced another brilliant line-up to end/start the year.

The Falls Music & Arts Festival is a three day soirée from December 29, 2009 – 1 January 2010, which takes place in two gorgeous natural amphitheatres along the coastlines of Marion Bay, Tasmania and Lorne, Victoria; featuring around 60 performers, comedians, The Falls Arts Village, films, spectacular scenery and FREE CAMPING!

So not only do you get to spend a few days a lush climate, gazing at beautiful landscape whilst the rest of us nurse a bottle of cider and watch five minutes of fireworks in the drizzle, you also get to see this little lot which they've announced today...
